In bed before 10, dozed off during LO'D, up at 5:58 with a very bad back, with distressing memories of acts of cruelty during childhood, after Hartmann's crime, Last Judgment as a mirror thoughts. 61℉, high of 79℉, AQI of 39, Good, the wind WSW at 3, 2-10/17 mph. Sunrise 5:43, set 8:13, 14+31. Bad start to the day.
False alarm. I went to the Target store at Bayshore yesterday to pick up inkjet cartridges for our printer. I paid with my credit card at a self-checkout station, returned to my car, tossed the cartridges onto the passenger seat, and drove to the library to pick up a book I had on reserve. At the library, I discovered I did not have my wallet and library card with me. I went back to the car to get it and no luck. I returned to the Target parking lot and store, but no luck. I left my name and phone number with the clerk at the service desk and returned home, dejected and worse. I checked the car again and again no luck. I locked my credit card online and thought about dealing with my debit card, my driver's license, my VA identification card, my Medicare and WPS cards. When Geri returned home from an errand, I told her my plight. She looked in my car and found the wallet between the passenger seat and the console. I couldn't see it when I looked there but she used a flashlight and there it was. I can't say I was elated at her discovery because I was so dejected, feeling so defeated, old, confused, and vulnerable, from the thought of having lost it and needing to replace its contents and deal with all the accounts that are charged to the credit card, I was in quite a funk. A demoralizing experience all around. Alte kaker, schlubische.
Bad back all day.
Trump indicted. 4 Counts, one for obstruction, 33 for conspiracy. 6 unindicted co-conspirators.
My thoughts on additional unindicted wrongdoers. (1) The American electorate that put this evil man in a position of immense power. (2) The constitutional system that put this man in office with only a minority of votes from the electorate, i.e., the Electoral College. (3) Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice who delayed investigating these crimes by DJT and his accomplices so that this indictment is handed down fully 2 and 1/2 years after the crimes were committed, many of the constituent elements in full view of the American people and the rest of the world. (4) The myth that in America no one is above the law when it is so scathingly clear that this is not true, that DJT has played the clock in this game such that he will probably not be tried until after the presidential election in which he is now tied with Joe Biden in the most recent polls and may well be re-elected, by hook or by crook. USA! USA! USA! And did I mention the Republican Party?
