I’ve gotta tune out the news for a while. Last night I dreamed I was in Washington DC on a dark and stormy day. As the wind began to blow and the gray clouds moved in, two people launched missiles that exploded next to each other in the sky - one was red, the other blue. The two explosions blew clouds in opposite directions that spun up into a tornado, leveling the city.
