But will trouble see me?

You don’t need to take the trouble to see trouble. Trouble will take the trouble to see to it itself.

From Shakespeare

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

Nobody knows, the trouble I’ve seen…

Because their eyes glaze over and they walk away when I start telling them.

I’ve been living in “interesting times” for 7 decades now and I could really use some uninteresting times.

But trouble always likes to see me coming.

Adding Portland, Minneapolis, and Chicago to your “no-visit’ list?
