Our former mayor is running for county judge. Today, he foubd out about the shelter and showed up to help. I said it was merely a photo op, but I was wrong. He spent 90 minutes doing an amazing amount of work on the transition from day center to sleeping area. He washed the matts they sleep on. He mopped floors. He cleared what needed to be done. His assistant also worked. Cool stuff.

It was an odd night at the shelter. I think folks are just exhausted.

There was only one cigarette break. The other night, there were three in four hours. Snack time was a big thing last time; they forgot it tonight.

One more night. It’s supposed to get into the 20s tomorrow. Monday, it will be 73 degrees.

There was a huge anti-ICE demonstration downtown today. I didn’t know about it.

As of right now, it's still available to purchase.  I guess not as many people want this as some of their other "strictly limited to 100 copies" titles. ::)

Catharine O’Hara. Such a talent.

One of my favorite SCTV sketches had her was as Lucy immobile in a chair while the chorus boys did leaps over her. Occasionally she would belch out the word “Mame” about three octaves lower than anyone else. It captured the dreadful nature of that movie perfectly.

;D

Then I'd thought of a good sentence, so went back to writing, finished the important chapter and passed page 200. Twelve pages today and maybe one or two more. And then, it's the last forty pages or so.

That's very exciting, BK!

It took forever to get home because of road construction. Truly nightmarish. They closed four lanes down to one going north. The entire southbound interstate was closed.

Yikes!  I hate it when that happens! :P

Our former mayor is running for county judge. Today, he foubd out about the shelter and showed up to help. I said it was merely a photo op, but I was wrong. He spent 90 minutes doing an amazing amount of work on the transition from day center to sleeping area. He washed the matts they sleep on. He mopped floors. He cleared what needed to be done. His assistant also worked. Cool stuff.

That's wonderful.
