Feeling a bit disheveled, displaced...dia-sporated even? You and me both, along with our  personal affects

Or, perchance, just plain separated...From your loved ones, community, let alone what you once called your homeland. The one from "long ago...before time immemorial..." Prior to you being forced out, with barely enough time to "gather your belongings...you've got 30 minutes..."  

Exit Us: Sounds a lot like Exodus, eh? Back in the time of Moses and the bull-rushes, and then Bob Marley devoted some time, writing and reggae-ling us about...𝅘𝅥𝅮"Trod through great tribulation...!"

GenX's: The ones that, while we, here, might be inconvenienced, due to inclement weather and such, there are groups of people, if you bother to look around (the globe as the SpaceX-ers can tell you)...have been couped up in refugee camps now, for three generations...These 'shelter-in-place' groups are an addition...

Dyno-madic: Groups who have been, it seems, wandering around the earth, some continents more than others, since about the time of dyno-saurs. Remains a matter of debate whether they prefer this itinerant tenant lifestyle, as in the ones these days, seeking to "go off the grid" or by necessity, in order to avoid persecution...even in what's termed their "home-land". Sometimes confused, fused with...

Dia-sporadic: The ones that identify with one geo region but, due to circumstances beyond their control, end up wherever “elsewhere” might be. Most of us can't actually relate, given our good fortune of being able to decide, where to put down roots. Something to think about when you are moaning, groaning, about the local weather...

"Leaves a lot to be desired" A common complaint...in sharp comparison with being forced to leave a lot behind...with "little or no notice". Leaving...

"Little or none" A narrow, but notable distinction between hardly any and none at all. One which is probably lost on us, in this land of plenty. But still worth noting, and noticeable if we look beyond US...

"Caution "Can end up, leave you, feeling a bit dis-spirited.

Back, to lift your spirits, with "Out, and about you"

New knews, in brief, from those in the know... On behalf of the unknowing.

Making History, one way or another... "Let's make history..." Said one truant to the other..."we can still make it, as our teacher tends to go off..." OR, is it...

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
