Tuesday 16th June

Weather is cooler, in the 70s, and it has been wet.   I went water walking this evening at the YMCA pool, and watched the clouds get blacker and blacker as I walked round, then it just started raining as I left.

 

There were quite a few children in the pool but it was nice to see them enjoying themselves with their parents.   If I wake early I might try and go in the morning, it gets me out of bed.   The pool opens at 5,30 am, I could practically stay up and not bother to go to bed.

 

In the news it is day 11 of the manhunt, and the escaped convicts are still on the run.  800 law enforcement officers are searching for them, at a cost of over a $1 million a day.   The stupid accomplice has certainly got a lot to answer for.   She had a visit in prison today from her husband -  the husband the convicts were supposed to kill in exchange for her helping them escape.   That must have been interesting, the entire nation has been informed of the fact that she had an intimate relationship with one of them.    I was somewhat flabbergasted at that.  What kind of prison do they run here - I ask myself - when dangerous convicts can have sex with the civilian employees.   Furthermore, they go to bed at 10.30 and they are not even looked at until 5.30 the next morning, so they had quite a few hours start.   Time to cross over into Canada.

 

It is being said that it was so carefully planned and carried out they obviously had help from outside,  they can't still be running around in the wooded area near the prison.

 

 The other news story is the white woman who decided she was black.   She claims she has felt black since she was five years old, when she was drawing pictures of herself with a brown crayon.   Her parents and her adopted siblings are just shooting down in flames everything she says.

Oh yes, and the Presidential campaign.

He has to be the most irritating person on the face of the earth, I don't think I could stand it if he were elected.    And he has the answers to all the nation's problems.    Among them he is going to build a very solid wall along the southern border, and he will make Mexico pay for it.  The person interviewing him was, understandably, rather sceptical as to how he was going to be able to do that, but the short answer is that he will apply economic pressures.     And he will end the war in the Middle East, said the US will surround ISIS, bomb the hell out of them, and take back the oil fields so they will have nothing.    See what I mean by irritating.
