poor georgie’s almanack:

History, flawed as it is, hints that things may get better.  

Right now, an alien 65 million light years away may be looking at our Earth through a super-duper telescope. What it sees is dinosaurs.  

(This works whether you interpret it through your scientific or psychological lens. And, yes, I know the God's Eye nebula is, or was, more than 65 million light years away and probably no longer exists. But the visual works in this context ... please ... I'm trying to find something positive on this sad, dreary day.)
