I love Garrison Keilor. He's so down to earth and makes the ordinary seem superlative. I'd love to write like him.
During my Mumsie years (40 years ago), I worked Saturdays at one of the most popular bookshops in Australia and GK's recordings were the most popular thing we sold - so even then, people craved salt of the earth commentary. I'd say it's even more craved now.
Most of the things I choose on Substack are those sort of writings because I hate what's happening 'out there' and like to keep my goal posts close and my view pleasant. It enables me to hope without distraction.
Yes, the news is horrible and like you I have no solutions - so I watch with dismay and a sick feeling at what is occurring.

You always have something interesting and hopeful to say. Thank you.
