Summer Hangs On
Still feeling like I'm not keeping up with what's going on. I'm doing some good cooking, though.
There was a second community meeting about the apartment building that's going to replace a falling-down ruin of a house in my neighborhood. The revised designs look pretty great.
There is an ongoing government shutdown because Republicans can neither compromise nor achieve unanimity within their own governing coalition. They've pasted "radical Democrat shutdown" across every government email and website, though. The shutdown hasn't prevented them from going on about which part of the US the government is allegedly at war with this week. Meanwhile, Trump's tasked a lawyer who has yet to prosecute a criminal case with making James Comey rue the day that he ever crossed Hillary Clinton. And Trump is rumbling about how he'll talk to the DOJ about a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell (who he doesn't remember and probably hasn't even heard about before, to take it from him).
Basically the last week it's been highs in the 80s, though it's early October.
I started reading The Magician's Nephew to Erica.
Some new people are joining my team at work. Looking forward to the organizational rebuilding.
My mom will be visiting town next weekend, for her high school reunion.
