I was smashing up the Oreos for the Oreo pie (grandson coming for T day), pounding with a rolling pin, and my Apple Watch told me I had had a “significant fall.” A significant autumn, maybe.

Some Americans would rather vote for a paederast than a Black/Asian woman. That pretty much says it all about the US.

Claudia told me that an astrochemist was on NPR, a woman who studies the chemistry of space. Can there be chemistry in a vacuum, I asked. Yes, she said, there’s dirt and the. You have to empty it out. Good night, Gracie.

Claudia, who is closing in on hearing aids, has been alleging that I also need them. We visited a hard-of-hearing person who said she couldn’t hear C because she spoke so softly. It’s a thing some people do, speak more softly, as their hearing worsens. I feel vindicated!

Claudia and her mother & sister have been having rounds of excited discussion about our new Shark stick vacuum and how well it cleans. OK. Sure? C also helped her mom with a printer problem. For a 94 y.o., a 70+ y.o. = Geek Squad. C’s solution to all things electronic is turn it off and back on.

It suddenly occurred to me that in all this hubbub about trans women and sports, nobody complained back in the’60’s and ‘70’s, when girls weren’t allowed to play sports at all. 50 % of the population,and people were fine. Get over yourselves, you ignoramuses.

Voldemort is burning down the house in order to provoke activity that he can call riots, leading to martial law, emergency powers for the Prez and the end of elections. There is a method to this madness. Don’t give him the violence he wants. MAGAs are out there provoking us. Stand strong!

Discussing our whirlwind grandson’s Summer visit, I said “he’ll be here a whole

Says,”Not the whole week, but somewhere in those dates. I’ll have to pin him down.” I said, “Yes, he needs to be pinned down the entire week! To the floor, maybe.”
