No. It’s a smokescreen.

We went to see RBG. Very interesting. I am in awe of her exercise program. Love little old ladies who won’t go quietly.

I dream every night in color but seldom remember them. I’ve had dreams that I was with my mother and was terribly upset when I woke and remembered that she was dead.
Before I retired, I frequently...

I just finished Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean. It was excellent.

I am on Goodreads and for the life of me, I can’t get my To Read List under 100. Since I get as many books from the library as possible, when I get halfway through a book, I put one of my To Read...

I just finished watching the Amazon Prime series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It really is excellent.

I listened to the audio on Hoopla through our library. It is a hard way to survive.

Days without a mass shooting: 2. We’re on a roll here.

A Thousand Day’s by Arthur Schlesinger (Husband and I are reading this aloud to each other 5 pages a day. With the book 1031 pages, you will understand that this is taking a while.)

Portland, Seattle, or Vancouver. Love the mountains, climate, and greenery.

That is just incredible!! At work!! Glad you are OK.

I think UL is pretty much on the mark. He's not depressed, he is facing facts. Why do we feel that we have to cheer someone up all the time?

Williamsmith, We live just outside Richmond, TX. I am so glad your son and his wife were rescued!! We are still in our house and have had no water in the house so far. We were without electricity for...

I do have savings that could be drawn on if Social Security is halted for any length of time. I normally have a pretty deep pantry which could last a couple of months. I get a 90 day supply of my...

I am wondering if there is anything one can do to prepare for a government shutdown. Cash on hand? Bottled water? Extra pantry supplies? Guns and ammo?
I'm right in the path of Harvey so I'm...

I was in San Francisco only once many years ago. The thing that stands out in my mind is that even though we were there in the summer, we all had to go buy sweaters for the very chilly evenings. I...

I would stay home with a cuppa, music or a book, a cat, and a quilt. Needless to say, a total news blackout.

I added it to my Netflix queue too. Thank you.

We had to move our big book shelves and in order to do that we had to take down approximately 1 gazillion books. We used that as an opportunity to donate 2 big boxes of books to the library. Books...

I had no idea that the cost for inter library loan was so high. I've used it quite a few times but will be more discriminating in the future.

DH, DD, & DSIL are flying to meet in Nashville. Glasses are already purchased. :)

It isn't just Illinois that is in trouble. New Jersey, Maine, and Oklahoma are in dire straits too. (It's probably just a coincidence that they all have tax-cutting Republican governors.:~))

I use Hoopla through my library. I've listened to audio books, read e books, and streamed tv and movies through it.

Edited to add: You can check out 7 items per month on Hoopla.

Miller's Valley by Anna Quindlen -- Excellent (Fiction)
I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong -- Excellent (Non-Fiction)

Thank you Lainey.
