Training was long and dull, largely because I had some a similar day of exercises last year with another team. This year, the training is two days, not one.

Boring.  Did the powers that be realize this was a repeat of last year?

The powers that be were not part of this training. She's going to take it later. I think she will find it repetitive but will like that we have all gone through it. (Thankfully, work is somewhat slower than usual. I only had two fires to put out today, when we were supposed to be off our cellphones. Ha!)

Rutger Hauer has died. I just saw him in Hobo with a Gun.

Oh, no. :(

Did everyone go with Vixmom to the ballgame?

I'm at work and have been watching some of Mueller's testimony, and then Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

Now, I'm off to my sister's.  She wants me to put up an awning over the front of the chicken coop.  That shouldn't take too long, or be difficult, at all.

Be back later.

Went to Half Price Books today and found a clearance copy of Romantic Comedy the DVD, a day after listening to the soundtrack. I've never seen the movie. I figure it was only $2.

I also found a $2 CD of Carlos Surinach works recorded by the Louisville Orchestra under Jorge Mester. He was their conductor when I was growing up. So, it's nice to have some new-to-me music that they had commissioned way back in the day.

Did anyone there try the "And one for Mueller" drinking game every time he revealed something new? 

The first glass is still half full.

The Faye Dunaway situation is troubling.

Alec Baldwin had punched a hole in.a wall backstage years ago, but after  a while, his career was allowed to rev up again.

Maybe the same will happen for Faye Dunaway.

I assume the answer is that box office and ratings can conquer anything.

Let me explain for those who might not understand, and I don't care WHICH side of the fence you're on:  If the exact same Mueller thing had happened today, but the president was a democrat, what do you suppose the Republican folks would have been doing and saying in that hearing and after.  I do believe they'd be screaming to the high heavens, "IMPEACH" "LOCK HIM UP" and be all over Fox News about what a lying crook the democratic president was.  Again, I don't care what side you're on, but that is EXACTLY what would have happened, and this idiotic "you can't indict a sitting president" rule would be overturned so fast it would make your head spin.  That's how it would go.  What I find most fascinating, is that the Democratic congress is not saying lock him up or impeach nor trying to overthrow that rule.  I'm not sure I understand that at all, frankly.

Faye Dunaway is crazy.  Who would hire her, knowing her history?  My favorite part, though, is they fire her, she's asked for comment, but she's magically traveling in Europe.  Uh huh.

But it finished with a glorious fireworks show, and the park is only 15 minutes from home
