I take a small dose of reality by reading the paper for a few minutes in the morning with my coffee and muffin.

Today’s news was the UN’s report on climate change.

Oh, and, if that weren’t enough there was the article on how the US thinks Russia may be attacking CIA agents and diplomats (there’s a difference?) in Havana, with illness somehow done via microwaves.

I definitely felt I’d overdosed on reality and I attempted, unsuccessfully,  to escape to a jigsaw puzzle.

Is our species hell-bent on its own destruction?

Who the hell left us humans in charge of the planet?
