  1. Hi Catherine,

    Per your suggestion, I have downloaded PDF’s of my State, County and City Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports. I will wait until I am braced by some good coffee tomorrow morning, before I take a look at them. Hopefully, I will be able to comprehend what I read. I do understand the importance of this.

    Thanks for this practical, actionable advice.

    1. The trick is to just keep turtling through it. Ignore any feelings of overwhelm and just keep doing it week after week after week after week. After a while, you will start making connections. Gets fun if 1 or 2 trustworthy people join in.

  2. If I am hearing right, there’s a Tina Turner reference creeping in lately when you say ‘nice, and rough.’ But the thing is: The Deep State ‘neva, eva, eva does nothin nice and easy.’ They always do it nasty. And rough. Like how they did Mary Pinchot Meyer.

  4. Amsterdam, like Venice, is a good place to contemplate the ghosts of bankers and slavers of centuries past. But at least they, unlike today’s slavers, had a fine sense of art and architecture!

    1. The exhibit at the Fries Museum on Rembrandt’s wife Saskia gave a lot of the statistics of what life was like in the Dutch Golden Age in terms of life expectancy. 1 in 4 children did not make it past the age of 5. People often remarried as spouses died, many in childbirth. It was a very hard life – a reminder of the many blessings that technology has brought.
