I am just flat out of touch, but it was the plan and so I guess I have no complaints.

Decades ago, dissatisfied with the world's circumstances (trashed environment, racial biases, collective myopia), I took the Bible's suggestion to "...no longer will I look on mankind, or be with those who now dwell in this world." Isaiah 38:11

Well, it didn't work. Oh, I separated my thoughts from the world's preoccupations, but like the nosey neighbor, I couldn't stop myself...
