as if it's the end of the world. Then suffer in sickness until November 3 when hopefully we put an end to authoritarianism in the U.S.

Now it's even further away.

Just yesterday, I was listening to R.E.M.'s Murmur (1983) and thought to myself how it came out 37 years ago.
And then realized that 37 years before 1983 is 1946. So, then I started thinking about how cars look now, vs 1983, vs 1946:
I dunno. Just how my mind works, I guess.
