Saturday 15th March

One thing about the weather here is that we get what is forecast.  We had the 60% chance of rain, and a thunderstorm, the rain was actually very heavy, but then it mostly is.

I think I am still suffering the effect of the clocks going forward last weekend, at least that is my excuse for being so lethargic.   I went out this evening though to the Democrats' St Patrick's Day fundraiser, although I am not sure why they celebrate St Patrick's Day - Irish Americans in Shawnee are like hens teeth.    I have been in the past and enjoyed it, they have had entertainment, and a little Irish music, that was what I was looking forward to, but I was disappointed this evening, it was just one long, interminable speech after another.    I went with Pattisue, it was held in Tecumseh which is outside my range of driving in the dark.   Had I driven myself I would have left a lot sooner, but she was rapt, I think she was the only one who was, at least half the room had left before the end.

 

Fortunately, I did at least have my C-Nook in my bag to relieve the boredom.

 

Breaking the habit of a lifetime I actually posted something on someone's Facebook page, it was on the page of  an irritating tv contributor I don't even watch, but caught while channel hopping.  Democrats here accuse Republicans of waging war on women, heaven knows why, I never hang around long enough to listen, but this guy was holding forth on what he called the 'Real War on Women'.  It makes me so angry.  Anyone who wants to know about the real war on women should go to Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan.   It is the Taliban waging war on women, not stupid politicians in the US.    That was what I posted on his Facebook page (or something to that effect).  I would have sent an e-mail, but that was beyond the competence of my computer, that's why I went to Facebook instead.

 

The Mystery of the Disappearing Plane (I can see a film coming out one day about this) has become a whodunit.    It seems to be generally agreed that the plane continued flying for several hours after it dropped off the radar.   The background of everyone on board has been investigated, and I think they probably discovered there was no one else on board capable of flying the aircraft, so now suspicion has turned to the flight crew.  Either the pilot, co-pilot, or both, are the baddies.   I just wish they'd find it.  If this was a book I'd have turned to the back by now.
