Thanks, Gaeilge,

I want to be optimistic, but I recall how Iran reelected Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Trump’s near-equivalent for embarrassment. Still, at least they knew he was on their side and not in the pocket of their enemies.

Oz is surely most appealing, and friends who’ve gone to NZ describe it as the happiest place they’ve ever seen. So maybe I’ll hang out down under while the starship’s being built.
