Everywhere there's lot of Piggies

As I  look at this fellow, he seems happy in his lot.  Wandering around his pen, he is probably looking for a snack munch on.  Much like me after the news is over and the programing is getting mundane and boring.  We have located a British series on Netflix called Broadchurch.  It is a murder mystery with many twists and turns to the plot.  My usually wiley wife has no clue who the culprit is even after six episodes. I am generally in the dark. There are some dialectic issues but once you  

get past them, it is definitely worth watching. Not much to talk about today other than  viewing shows on the telly.  It was blistering hot yesterday and we had hungry children over at the old folks home for dinner and very loud conversation loaded with opinions.  I am mostly silent because I lost my New Jersey conversing techniques of interrupting to get your point across.  My children retained that talent along with their mother.  Anyway the dinner was enjoyed and the beer was gone, so they left. We took Shannon back to her home after multiple Disney movies.  

My dear friend Tom from San Francisco sent me a posting from The Irish Times.  It was a copy of an editorial from Fintan O'Toole on the view of America from Ireland.  Sadly from being the beacon of freedom's light our country is pitied by our European counterparts.  We have dealt with this virus like a third world country and our leader has not used the scientific information or personnel available to move toward a safe outcome.  Instead, he is promoting himself and his minions in hopes of his reelection.  I am saddened by the current state of our union.  We still have many months with this man at the helm.  What further damage can he do?  Is there no politician that was voted in by their constituents that can at least slow him down.  Do we need to remove all the Sharpies and put duct tape across his mouth?  

One last thing to complain about.  Rep. Ted Yoho called AOC a fucking bitch on the steps of the Capitol last week.  Now in my history of working and all companies I have worked for, such behavior would not be tolerated, not even in the swinging and dope smoking 70's.  I would have been escorted off the premises if I called a workmate out like that.  The arrogance of this prick shocks even me.  I hope he goes down in flames and is shoveling shit in his next job .

We saw a remarkable 60 Minutes episode last evening about gene therapy to cure inherited diseases like Sickle cell.  And it worked. Truly a modern miracle,  this morning I learned that a similar treatment worked on Muscular Dystrophy.  Some good news for a change.

all for now
