It will be interesting to start our life anew in a very different milieu.

Weekend Writing Prompt/JusJoJan —Climate Change
“What is it about the gravity of the situation that you can’t seem to grasp?” Janice asked. “Don’t brush me off with your usual argument that climate change is just a hoax.”
“I don’t believe climate change is a hoax,” Richard said. “I just don’t think it’s going to devour all life as we know it on our planet by, what’s the date, 2030 or something?”
“So you don’t believe 97% of climate scientists who are saying we’ve got only about a decade before there is irrevocable damage to the planet?” Janet asked.
“I just have an easygoing temperament,” Richard said. “I don’t go crazy over things I can’t control.”

And for what it’s worth, I personally don’t agree with Richard on this topic.
Weekend Writing Prompt — New Life
It’s a brand new year and it’s time for new beginnings. I need to change my whole outlook on life. I need to stop being so vulnerable. I have to cease being such a lollygag. I must try a novel approach that will enable me to ascend to new heights in this coming year.
This is my resolution for 2020.

Weekend Writing Prompt — The Lesser of Two Evils
“The hubris of the man is unmatched,” Mark said. “I wish that some Republicans in the Senate would vote to remove him.”
“I think you’re being a bit rash, my friend,” Danny said. “Sure, Trump is a total moron, but if he’s kicked out office, Pence will take his place. You know what will happen then, don’t you?”
“Yeah, guys like us will be sent to gay conversion therapy camps,” Mark said.
“Exactly,” Danny said. “So let’s just finish putting the tinsel on the tree and cherish the excitement and joy of Christmas.”
