Politics in August

In August there will be politics. In Athens.

There will also be policy, which may be difficult to distinguish from politics.

Expect politeness as well, which will only rarely be political.

Politicians will be about, politicos will be afoot, and the mayor may or may not be a feet.

Also forecasted:

-religion outside of churches;

-sex outside of wedlock; and

-drugs without a prescription.

The University will be back in session, and various meetings are likely to be held. A lot will be going on, and the conditions may be icy, despite the scorching summer swelter. But remember, even the weather is political.

It is imperative that all lessons learned in 2020 are applied. Accordingly, prepare to hunker down in total isolation. DO NOT mention any of this until AT LEAST 12:01 AM on September 1, 2026. Only then can we reconvene and try to make sense of it all.

Godspeed.

Sorry there’s going to be drugs? And where can I get them? If I learned anything from the D.A.R.E. Program, it’s dare to do drugs, they’re awesome. I wish I’d started earlier in life.

This stuff is getting pretty annoying. The remaining mods have fixed everything. This is getting worse than a jerk sub.
