I have grown accustomed to a lifetime of aphorisms
meant to assuage my fears, pithy sayings meant to
convey that everything ends up fine in the end
Do not say I am hopeless. I believe there is a better future
to fight for. I simply accept the possibility that I may not
live to see it. ClintSmith

I've been laughing for about 3 mins. It's the 'soccer-seaworld extravaganza' bit. I imaged the pomp, the carnival atmosphere, and the whales' numbered jerseys. 🤣 I enjoy absurd and funny things.

Bernie is unusually well read. He highly recommends our latest book group book. I do as well - good writing, on a timely subject.

This from ClintSmith at thax other place.
Something to think about:
In 2020, Lab+Green+TPM's election result out-performed the final TVNZ and Newshub polls by 4.5% & 6.4%, respectively.
The Left only needs to out-perform last night's polls by 4% to win.
It's all to play for.
So, vote.
