A note of appreciation to Chaol.

The U.S. and China have agreed to use diplomacy in "denuclearizing" one of China's allies. This is a big deal.

This world has a pope who exhibits both humility and compassion as an example to his followers. This is a fresh geometry in our perspectives.

The dragons are leaving: they're dying or they're near death; they're stepping down from their thrones.

Fewer and fewer swindlers are able to hide their dirty deeds. The population has finally decided to speak up and expose what needs exposing. They're finally saying, "no more".

The world is changing drastically before our very eyes. I am in awe.

Now, I see the handiwork of Chaol's "chess-not-checkers". We owe him a lot.

Thanks, friend.
