I’m writing from a very biased perspective. I’m fond of our aoeu because I am. I’ve never met him and basically know him through the GUS (Giving Up Smoking) diaries or his eccentric and marvelous “what is this?” diaries. I never figure out the thing pictured.
For the entire time I’ve known him online, he has cared for his mother who has memory loss. He is a vet. He is a really good person. That’s basically all I know. Ok, he’s a really good troll hunter — I suck at that expertise. I never want his spinning vase in my Followers column.
What I like about aoeu is that he cares about his Mom — no explanation, no faux asking for empathy. I just like him for that.
Blessings during this time of turmoil. We have folks here who are real. They have families and no pie to offer. Beliefs without regret or explanation.
Blessings.
