It might be glum, Sugar Plum, but do not go it alone. Make saying "Hello" to as many people as you can that are in your surroundings. Go invest in a CSA (community supported agriculture) box and share it with friends. Take TriMet everywhere it goes and get everyone you know to do the same. Read Hunter S.Thompson. Learn to cooperate until it's a habit. And know that Pluto in Aquarius is coming in one week leaving the conservative sign, Capricorn, behind. Warmly and with you.
