Sometimes describing the story makes sense. Using strong language focuses the reader and leads them to a destination; this is NOT one of those times. 

For whatever reason, today's episode is better listened to than explained. I don't know what part of the world you are in, but here in the Pacific Northwest United States, inside our minds, it's getting noisy. We all need a vow of silence for a few weeks. The information needs to stop. We must attend to the burning forests and prepare for an election that is bound to end with a considerable demographic very upset. Regardless of what party wins, we will need to heal the wounds. And learn how to work together even in our differences—sending a toast to you of stamina and empathy.
