how am I gonna be an optimist about this.

bastille poses a great question. pompeii is the chosen song to depict the month for august for this simple question asked.  turns out the hail storm of august led to a possibly happy september. we will see.

chariots of fire sound nice.

"In the gospel of Jesus Christ you have help from both sides of the veil, and you must never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike—and they will—you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham’s seed." -Jeffrey R. Holland
