Eden Haiku: Thank you :)
Riddle Sideways: Hello Eden
Eden Haiku: What a gentleman :)
Riddle Sideways: will take that, but also does not want to pick

Riddle Sideways: and all the stuff going on in France
Eden Haiku: Fires, epidemics, no food, no electricty, no networks, no water and so on
Riddle Sideways: ah that
Eden Haiku: What is going on in France is very telling...
Riddle Sideways: however, if we are charged more money for gas it needs a revolt
Riddle Sideways:people want the environment fixed, but not pay for it
Eden Haiku: People are rebelling about their life conditions, not only gas.
Eden Haiku: But yes, gas taxes made then furious.
Riddle Sideways: yes, it morphed
Eden Haiku: Back to these books who are made for walking [I meant boots obviously but Riddle liked my typo]
Riddle Sideways: the Paris Accord was great as long as no person sacrifice was needed

Riddle Sideways: yes
Eden Haiku: I feel like sitting between two chairs
Riddle Sideways: the nature of a dualistic world
Riddle Sideways: life
Eden Haiku: Young writers in Quebec are very very dark. I used to find them foolish....
