Thursday 10th

Still intensely hot.   It was 93 when I had to go out to pick up a few things.  Donald Trump seemed to be having a day off, or Fox News was having a day off covering him, there wasn't much else in the news though.

She's dropping in the polls, sinking in the mire.  There are those who would say though that they are all vicious rumours put out by the evil Fox News, we shall see.   There is talk of Joe Biden running, so there is obviously desperation behind the scenes, but he has said  he feels too emotionally exhausted.

Good luck with cultivating the spontaneity.

Amazingly this has had major television coverage.   This stupid woman, a county clerk, refused to issue a marriage licence to a gay couple, in spite of the fact that it is now legal in all states.   I don't know what the judge was thinking, making a martyr of her by putting her in jail.  She has been backed up by Mike Huckabee, Presidential candidate, former governor of Arkansas, tv personality, Baptist pastor, and as bigoted as she is.   You'd think, wouldn't you, she should just be fired and have done with it, but apparently it is an elected office, so she can't be.

So that is the alternative news.   Alternative to Trump.  I woke up early this morning, and am now headed back to bed.
