But we will do the best we can.

In politics, a stalemate.
The blue team dodged a far worse fate.
With battles looming over debt
Our nation ain’t seen nothing yet.

The Land of Oz; Horn in the West.

She’s adjusting to the cold.

Boston, MD, NYC.

By this time next year we should see
A better 2023.
