We live in interesting times. I like boring. Boring is very underrated.

I remember boring. I could stand a bit of it again.

I would prefer to be bored to being terrified.

Same. "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" I'd rather be in Bag End while the Gaffer tended the potatoes.

Remember Orson Welles' story in The Third Man about how boring Switzerland was in the Middle Ages (as compared to the intrigues of Venice and the Borgias)

It is underrated. It’s also just a short drive from Portland: maps.app.goo.gl/xU5dusaSPTFK...

Sorry. I think it was 40 years ago, at a get acquainted lunch for me, the new guy, that I got the cursed Chinese fortune cookie. "May you live in interesting times." OK, I started w/JFK, Nixon, Vietnam, the Wall, Bush2, Trump1 and a lot I'm forgetting. My fortune overfloweth!
