Good morning, friends.
For a long time I have been starting my day watching the news. But lately I will have to change my habits as new can only give me heartache.
Today news started telling about a fire that completly destroyed the house of one of my late husband´s footall chums. He died last year and his house was important for many people as it had pictures and trophys of the time when he was one of the pest players of his time.
Then the news showed how minors were "hired" by the big organized crime people. Violence and drugs are part of it all. The media talk about these gangs and how they do it but I often wonder if they are not also helping these organizations. For me it is the same as when the media explain about how to get weapons and how to use them.
I´ll go and get a piece of cake. I bought another one yesterday with the groceries
See you later

@marguicha I guess that's the main reason for a lot of what they show.

@Nakitakona Such a pity. We don´t have many old buildings here. Big earthquakes destroyed the old buildings made before we learned to build for earthquakes.

@marguicha yes that's right. It's a heritage edifice built sometime in 1926.

It is sad to hear of the man's house burning and all those keepsakes burning up. I don't listen to our local news here anymore. It upsets me too much. I listen to some YT channels to keep up on the political idiocy and that is about it.

@marguicha ........I wouldn't watch it either except for being so curious as to how stupid they are going to be today.

Politics are also depressing. The amount of corruption is too big.

I decided that I would buy chocolate cake instead of fruits for dessert as long as I´m depressed.

I agree that the news is depressing. I only read some newsletters I get in my email to make sure no one is dropping a bomb on me. You know what I mean and that is all the news I can take. Enjoy your cake,
