Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore... most of my life 😜

Humans, hmmm I can take them or leave them most of them most of the time 😊

Lovely pieces to wake up to this morning. Thank you, Mark, for giving us something to think about over our coffee. I don't like humans all that much either, as a rule. Okay, maybe five or ten. However. I am meeting exceptionally fine humans on planet Substack, I have to say.

Thank you, Sharron. I relate to the lyrics from the Bruce Cockburn song, Great Big Love:

"Never had a lot of faith in human beings

But sometimes we manage to shine

Like a light on a hill beaming out to space

From somewhere hard to find"

The bad humans get all the press. But there are good ones and when you see one they shine brightly in the darkness.

“My parents don’t like humans that much.” 😂 I got a good chuckle out of that one! Nicely done, Mark.
