A FROWN IS JUST A SMILE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

*For readers who have contacted him from across the pond, TD would normally suggest that you remain calm. But how do you suggest calmness to friends when, daily, it is expunged by ongoing chaos in America? For 2026, Traveling Duffer Syndrome (TDS) was concocted to "share the brightside" from within TD's world and psyche. But things are seriously weighing. What makes his "homies" (above) a homogenous foursome is typically their bright, inclusive, perspectives of positivity. But those smiles are beginning to reflect the abnormal times in America. **Additionally, TD would like to apologize to friends in the EU and UK for that sucking sound that is dragging your repsective countries into this completely unnecessary foray. It seems that every time there's a tweet of a glimmer of hope, some politician in Washington manages to stomp it out like stomping on a baby bird which feel out of the nest. All TD can say is..."bear with us, we're trying to keep the train on the track." But, at this point, he has no idea how that happens as the that country which was once a bekin of shinging light gains steam toward the bottom of the world order. If you're so inclined...pray for us!
