Thursday 23rd July

Still intensely hot here with temperatures into the 90s.  I hate to imagine what my electricity bill is going to be this quarter, trying to keep the house cool.

Terry sorted out my car for me, I am glad I rang him first thing, it is his birthday and his wife was pressuring him to take the day off.  I think he was taking the rest of the day off when I picked the car up.

I found the pictures I couldn't find yesterday, the cakes I made for the pool party.

And isn't this a good idea for babies in a swimming pool....

 

 

Changing the subject........

This is what happens when the general population are allowed to run amok with guns.   This story was just breaking, so there may be more than 3 dead.   The gunman is believed to be 58 years old, so it is not thought to be an ISIS connected event, more a random shooting.

 

 

Senator McCain is a highly respected hero who spent five years being tortured in a North Korean POW camp, and the insufferable, bombastic Donald Trump criticises him for the fact.  Said he likes people who don't get caught.    

 

He, Donald Trump, has been touring the Mexican border.  A little while ago he said Mexicans are crossing the border and they are all criminals and rapists, and maybe some of them are good people, Now that he is running for President and wants the Latino vote, he is trying to walk that back.  He says he employs thousands - emphasis on the thousands - of Mexicans and they all love him.  They are probably all employed in his hotels, of which he boasts he has thousands, and probably paid less than the national minimum wage, she says cynically. 

 

Time to put this to bed................
