I went up north to a school to talk about butterflies. This was the in-person talk I've given since the pandemic hit.

Curious, does anyone personally know a Trump supporter who has changed their opinion of him?  I don't or they are being very quiet about it.  I haven't actually asked.

It is wise not to ask, methinks.

I booked my rides for next week's visit to the ophthalmologist. The drivers have been more reliable than DR Elmore's, but scheduling has always been a problem. They now have an automated voice. She speaks clearly with no accent, but she can't understand my speech! I had to repeat a phone number four or five times and she made the same error each time. She had the pick-up times confused with the appointment time and you can't ask any questions, just accept or cancel the booking. Gawd! Fortunately, I was able to talk to a real person, who spoke EXTREMELY fast, had an accent and was difficult to understand, but we managed to get the rides booked. Correctly, I hope.

We can perform open-heart surgery and put people on the moon, but we fail to perform mundane tasks competently.

I'll end my rant there.

And not to get political, but Lawrence O'Donnell said this last night on his show:

Trump Could Now Lose Everything Including His Freedom

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell analyzes the latest loss Donald Trump has faced in the Justice Department’s classified documents investigation and explains why the worst two days in Donald Trump’s life are the day he lost the 2020 election and today in light of that court decision and the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Thanks for the clip. We certainly live in interesting times.

In the U.S., we have the right to remain silent. But few have the ability.

Just ask Alex Jones' lawyer. (Who was quoted as muttering, "I'm not my client's keeper" on his way out of the courtroom.)

I know an American who was living in India at the time he had his hip replaced.  What a difference compared to here. If I need a hip replacement I want to go to India to have it done.

Much cheaper, too. Medical tourism has apparently become quite popular and has good reviews.

Yes, the cost difference is incredible, plus you get to vacation in a different country.

I remember talking to supporters of Nixon after Watergate.  They talked about their disappointment and I offered sympathy.    It was a much better time.

Groan.  Do they not send an email or text to confirm your bookings?

I don't personally know a Trump supporter...at least, not well enough to ask them any questions. ::)

My mom had some extensive dental work done in Mexico for about a tenth of the cost (friends of hers had already used them)...and her dentist here said that they did excellent work.

And now, I'm off to eat, pick up my fellow Olympia actor, then hie ourselves down to Centralia for the last night of this week's rehearsal. 

Until later!

I know them well enough, but also know to avoid discussing politics.  To me what is happening should be beyond that.

During covid lockdown there were people who couldn't cross the border to see their dentists.
