Saturday 5th September

It is hot.   Went out for some necessary shopping and it was 95 degrees.   Got back home as quickly as I could.

So, just been crocheting and watching television.  I live a quiet life here.   Some time over the weekend though I am going to the movie 'Walk in the Woods'.   It is based on Bill Bryson's walk along the Appalachian Trail, and I am a big fan of Bill Bryson.   He is an American writer who spent many years in Britain, where he married an English woman and had his family.  He talked once of walking with his children along the long driveway to Windsor Castle, and became aware suddenly of a car driving slowly behind them, when he stepped aside he saw it was Princess Diana.

So what is in the news.................

This is said to be the worse humanitarian crisis since WW11.

I think the US is probably in a better position than an European nation to help them out.

ha ha ha.

That may be true enough, but surely someone aspiring to be President of the US should have a thorough knowledge of the current political landscape.  Not wait until he is sworn in to be informed by his advisors, as to who is who on the world stage.



She's sorry for the confusion, for the fact that she hasn't been understood.   Not for keeping everyone in the dark about her blessed e-mails and server, which continue to be shrouded in mystery.   But she is appearing before a Committee in October where she will have to 'tell all'.

This guy was in charge of her highly secret e-mail server, and has been subpoenaed to 'tell all', but he is pleading the 5th Amendment, which is a handy get-out-of-jail-free card, meaning basically that he is not going to say anything except "I plead the 5th Amendment" so he can't be forced to say anything, and the American public, and stray foreigners, will not be any the wiser.



I like all those people except the insufferable Trump.  I can't wait for him to crash and burn.

Rick Perry is irritating, I like the others.   It has been said of Rand Paul, and I think they are right, that he lacks 'charisma'.   And charisma is what you've got to have here.

I got this far then suddenly lost the page.....have been going round in circles for the past hour with Google trying to sign back in.....I will hit Publish and hope for the best.
