Wed. 8/7/19 7:53pm

Damn. I lost my best friend in San Francisco to suicide. I understood his reasons, and they were not inconsequential, and weren't depression-related--they were health-related. But it was still very painful. | |

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
Have been told by people who have been to Africa that their sense of Togetherness is such that our own kind of individualist isolation would make no sense to them ...I also note as a generalization that they seem willing to give the groove as much time as it would like thank you very much... | |
