It isn’t raining today-yet-but it is overcast and humid-

If Hillary is focused on
Something that she reveres
A cynosure to inspire her
Or cause her to shift gears

It probably is not her book
That made her talk too much-
Of being broke with millions
And she sounded out of touch

If she got back in the WH
She’d be inspired each day
By lots of costly objects
She still could haul away...

There is probably enough silverware and china left to make it worth doing...

I thought Hunter S. Thompson’s book on the Hell’s Angels was actually very good-but he and Tom Wolfe both sometimes wrote in that stream-of-consciousness style, which has never made any sense to me at all. I think Ray Bradbury’s descriptive writing is much better-I can feel the dust, smell the bees, etc.

No wonder she isn’t Bill’s composure.

Thank you! I’ll bet the sink is not available-Hillary probably donated it to Jimmy Carter to use in a Habitat for Humanity house...

There are more storms on the way here from west-so the flash flood watch is back for the third day-it rained over 2 inches yesterday-I don’t mind the rain-we need it, and it doesn’t slow work down too much. My sat internet and DirecTV don’t work in the big storms, though...

Shouldn’t that have been...

“Dr.Thompson, I presume?”?

Of all people I would have expected you to go Henry Morton Stanley there...lol

Hells Angels was very good. Fear and Loathing was LOL funny.

Though familiarity with some of his...’streams of consciousness’ might have helped with the hilarity...

Reading ‘Parcells...A Football life” now...

Then it’s on to the next Harlan Corbin quick read, before the next two in the Divergent series, as wait for the library to cough them up.
