 Only a few message from James and one from Lynn - well, apart from the
people/bots that I filter, that is.

 I imagine the American posters are either updating their passports
or making lists of which neighbours to inform on and the rest of us
are trying to work out if we're Austria or Poland.

The Darn Old Fart shortly to be in charge but as yet impotent to
act may fume noxiously but he does not smoke. And he could die before
he does anything too terrible aside from successfully dividing the
nation.
     I have no neighbors to inform on nor passport to update
nor funds to flee. Not so many years ago I tried to find a
better place for me to be than in San Francisco and not even
Seattle tempted me.

Why SF? I was there 8 years ago and found it dirty with many drug users on the street. There was also a lot of homos in some areas which was not good. It was not pleasant at all, although the city itself was nice and fairly walkable.
