Told You 2021 will be worse
Just turn on the news 
and I’m not 
I guess we are officially a 3rd world nation. Here is a song that sums everything up.

This could get moved to P&R in a heartbeat. I could list the ways that we are no longer in the top-tier and it would, of course, bring out those fake patriots that think over half of us don't belong here.

Well Hondo,
Today started out worse. PayPal account hacked by someone in Russia. And 2000 e-mails between 5am and 11am from all over the globe asking me to verify my purchase along with overdraft notices from PP. Yikes! What a start to the day. Two hours creating a new e-mail account and then one hour with PayPal to reverse the damage, and one hour with my bank to make sure my CC's were not attacked. I may have by accident let my internet provider find out that I am actually a dog. Smiles, MH

Changed my password didn’t have any frivolous charges I guess I lucked out. Had someone from Brazil use my PayPal a few years back. I was like I am not in Brazil so they refunded my money.

Hondo,
The attempts to transfer $6k to a Citibank account so far have been turned down, but that is gonna be an issue for Pay Pal. New e-mail and possibility to have new CC's will be a bit of a problem but not out of the ordinary in today's world. My bank is monitoring the activity on those and hopefully there was no breach there. Now to check the beer supply to recover from the hours of repairing damage from Russian hackers. My internet provider let me know the originations of the 2000 e-mails started. So If they can hack me, just think about what they can do to other entities. Smiles, MH

I guess I am very fortunate... 2020 was a pretty good year for me. I'm keenly aware many others cant say that

2020 was forty two weeks of covid isolation along with the near loss of my business so 2021 can't be much worse. I suspect that I will be confined to my space for more of the 2021 year extending the covid isolation through most of 2021. I also suspect I will be less involved with internet commerce. And I will be much more careful about interactions with other human beings. 2021 is not going to be very pleasant. Smiles, MH

We may not know how this year will be. But with the onset of the Covid vaccine and the new strains of the virus, and other global issues - for sure 2021 will be something.

Actually, my calendar says "December 39, 2020" ... You might say it's 2021, but you're entitled to your alternate facts.
