A funny thing happened on the way to the forum. ( /ˈfɔːrəm/ = A meeting or assembly for the open discussion of subjects of public interest.) As we laugh at the comedy of errors which our society has become, I thought a bit of levity would be a welcome respite from some of the doom and gloom.

Friday Photography Open Thread - Heavy Weather
Submitted by janis b on Fri, 01/05/2018 - 6:38pmEvening all. It seems many around the globe are experiencing heavy weather at the moment.
New Year’s day here brought a gentle, sustained rain we so seriously needed. It was very welcome after two months of relentlessly hot and dry weather.

Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
― George Orwell, 1984
What a funked up mess!
