Yesterday, Monday, the news channel (at least the serious one I watch, I don't know what was happening on the others) was given over entirely to the race riots in Baltimore, and I will come back to that. But before I do let's catch up with Hilary.
OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............................dear.
Yeah Hilary......you go Girl. You're not going to make President. The writing's on the wall. Heed Rand Paul's OMINOUS warnings. But as I've said before, I am just the foreign bystander here. And of course I wouldn't be Holier Than Thou and suggest our MPs aren't above corruption.
Is it my disrespectful imagination, or do they look as if they want to move in for a smooch?
But back to the serious stuff of life.
Freddie Gray was an African American who - and I haven't yet turned on today's news - died in highly suspicious and mysterious circumstances whilst in police custody. Prior to his arrest he made eye contact with a police officer, and apparently that is illegal in this African American city with a white police force. And that just ripped the scab off the simmering racial tensions.
And now I'll turn on the television and catch up.
ps I haven't captured it very well on the photo, but the rain was so heavy yesterday the street outside was just like a fast moving river. I didn't pick my mail up yesterday from the box, heaven knows what it is like.
