Disaster

America is currently being bombarded by Mother Nature's wrath - hurricanes on the East Coast, wildfires on the West Coast, flooding in Texas, earthquakes in Mexico.  I would call them "natural" disasters - but with climate change (please don't try to deny it exists...), poor infrastructure and a lot of the fires being man-made, these are just as much "unnatural" disasters.  And if they are the new norm, that is scary.  I was giving some thought to going to Florida over Christmas, but seems unlikely now.  At the least, I hope Mar-a-Lago gets flattened.  Perhaps as equally frightening, I discovered the word "nomophobia" this week.  Mobile phone separation anxiety.  For that word to even exist is tragic and such a poor reflection of modern society and the world we live in now.
