I slept well last night. again. That 5mg melatonin really seems to work.
I got up shortly before 5:00AM and dressed and then fed Missy and myself.. I had a bad pain in my right leg so I broke down and took an Aleve. I don't know what that is all about. Old age, I imagine.
Today I have TV again. It;s a mystery why some days it is fine but most of the time, it tears so badly I have to get my news from streaming to the computer.
Missy is after me to go outside but it's still dark out and I can't seem to convince her she can't go out in the dark. Spoiled rotten cat! She is in on my bed now..pouting....
I will read my book today. I have nothing else planned. So, more later....
I took Missy out for awhile about 9:00AM and we stayed out until 9:40. She didn't want tocome inn then but I insisted. It was getting hot out there in the sunshine.
The TV has begun breaking up now so I will go back to the book. I am reading "Fear.. Trump in the White House". I got the book from Amazon yesterday while I was in Independence. It is written by Bob Woodward, a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
It is phenomenal.
I have been reading all morning and am on Chapter 16. If even half of what Woodward has in this book is factual, we are being led by an imbecile president.
Woodward says in the beginning of the book in his Note to Readers: interviews for the book were conducted under the journalist ground rule of "deep background" which means that all the information could be used but he would not say who provided it. The book is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses to the events. Nearly all allowed him to tape record the interviews so the story could be told with more precision. When he has attributed exact quotations, thoughts or conclusions to the participants, that information comes from the person , a colleague with direct knowledge, or from meeting notes, personal diaries, files and government or personal documents.
President Trump declined to be interviewed for the book
Bob Woodward, is a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
More later...
I have read all afternoon and covered 2/3 of the book. It's hard to put it down. There is so much detail. I will read for one more hour and then take my bath and get ready for watching Amazon Prime.
My son, Keith, called this afternoon. He intended to put an outside antenna up when he came in November but the antenna pole we wanted to get from Merrill, my neighbor, is now unavailable as he is going to take it out to his sister's place in the country. Hers was struck by lightning a couple of weeks ago and she needs it now.
I did some shopping around for an antenna pole but so far, no luck.
At 7:00PM, I took my bath and Missy and I did what we always do...we watched some old Perry Mason shows until a little after 9:00, when we went to bed.

I think it's a Chinese curse - "May you live in interesting times" or something like that. These are certainly interesting times. With Montefort pleading guilty, this may be the beginning of the end if he cooperates.
I remember each president since Roosevelt (I'm 87) and I don't remember anyone so disrespectful in the office. There have been crooked politicians but mostly they were smart enough to be civil to their own staff and to the people who opposed them.
That's true, Marlu. I only hope they find something to impeach him for. He doesn't know the meaning of the word "truth".
I am 82 going on 83 so I too remember Roosevelt.
I was not born until Franklin Roosevelt had been long deceased, but I have heard recordings of his speeches and parts of his Fireside Chats. Compare the speeches of any of our Presidents of the past to the speech-giving capabilities of our current leader. We've come a long way, down; far down, garbage pit low. Recently, in an interview referring to Governor Mark Sanford, who went to Buenos Aires with his mistress, our President referred to "flamingo dancers" when he meant to say Flamenco dancers. At least I can calm myself a bit now when our leader's image is on TV by visualizing him surrounded by a large troupe of flamingos dancing, all long legged, pink, and feathery.
It worries me to have someone like this as Commander-in-Chief while my son, and so many other people's sons and daughters, are serving in the military. It just seems like any nutty, reckless idea could pop into president T's mind and he may take action on it.
I've seen where other bloggers ask for prayers for our president, I just pray for him to calm down and not take any action that will get a bunch of people killed unnecessarily.
