It sounds like the trip to The Mall was a great idea, and, clearly, the kids had a fun time. Ah, to be a kid. And, of course, seeing one's kids being joyful gives parents joy too. Unfortunately, adults in Minneapolis and elsewhere have had to deal with the horrible actions of Trump and his lackies. Attacking and/or talking about attacking other countries--and our own country's people--without a right to do so is a major aspect of an authoritarian government. What do you expect from a president who is a convicted felon, was a candidate who blatantly attempted to cheat to win an election, is a traitor who tried to overthrow our democracy? To change our situation, we need to get out of office anyone who has supported and/or continues to support an incompetent group that undermines our democratic, humanistic approach to society.
Random Wednesdays sound awesome. I'm having a hard time with my social media and the Strib with the mix of terrible news, violence and then the sports updates (or who has that good burger these days). I know the sports monster must be fed, and we would be speculating on Brian Flores or Joe Burrow even if a nuclear bomb had gone off in St. Paul a couple of days ago.
Me too Jim, finding it a little hard to even post before and after pictures of my glove jobs on the socials. Just seems so trivial in comparison to what's happening in the city.
James Lileks called you out today for this post on his blog The Bleat.
Hey, to each their own. James is a decent guy, a family man. A former colleague, not a formal one.
