TGIF – although i don’t really know why I still say so, since after retirement most days are alike to me. If anything, my Fridays are busier than other days. Today, I’m going to be off line for a while. Since I haven’t driven since the pandemic started, my battery is so low that it won’t hold a jump. It’s possibe, even probable, that keeping the machine the pros use attached and charging it would bring it up to where it would at least hold a jump, and driving around a while would complete the charge. But we have been having electrical storms every day. I don’t think it’s paranoid not to want to be out playing with electricity with a storm in the offing. But today we are forecast nothing but sun all day. So I’m hoping – I have one of those boxes the pros use – to get out and charge it up. Of course I’ll be off line for a while (and the longer it is, the better news it is.) Thanks in advance for your patience.

Short Takes –
If I could, I would make this an “Everyday Erinyes” article. But I can’t – it’s classified as an “essay,” and only “idea”s are available to republish. But, depressing as it is, I urge everyone to at least skim it. Because this is what we have to look forward to even if we do confront nationalism and all who embrace and push it. If we don’t – and we certainly didn’t, for instance, after the Civil War – it is not something we are good at – what we have to look forward to is likely even worse. I wish I knew how to get this through and into Americans’ heads.

You may already have seen this, so it may not be news, but it’s still good.
And because there’s to be no Friday Fun, and I for one am craving something totally of the wall …
