Sunday/Monday

We've had some rain, and chilly mornings but it has not been too bad.  It was 70 as I went through town today.

Yesterday, Sunday, I went to Emmanuel in the morning, and in the early afternoon to see a movie with my friend, Donna.   It was 'Steve Jobs', and I thought it was the most boring film I have ever seen - in my life - it just went right over my head, I couldn't understand it, and couldn't tell you today what it was about - apart from, obviously, Steve Jobs.   But Donna thoroughly enjoyed it.   So there you are, if you're thinking of seeing it, it is all a matter of taste.

In the news..........or in the Presidential campaign, Donald Trump is not happy, ha ha ha.

In fact he is spitting feathers......

and here he is  railing at Jeb Bush - who is slipping in the polls so I don't know why he should be the subject of Trump's ire - but he says Jeb is meeting with his donors, and with "Mommy and Daddy" to discuss his campaign.   "Daddy" is a former US President, and they are parents of another US President, and Trump is sneering at their credentials to advise Jeb!!!

All the candidates are going around promising this, that and other thing, but if I were an American with a vote  I would vote for the candidate I most trusted to be woken at 3am with the news that the world is in danger, and Donald Trump who would be bristling with outrage, is not that candidate.

This is an awful item in the news over the weekend in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Oklahoma State University had a big parade, there was a large crowd of people and a woman driving her car  went around a barricade, ran a red light, drove over a police motor cycle  and ploughed through the crowd of spectators.     4 people died and I think 47 injured, some of them critically.  Witnesses said bodies were flying in the air like rag dolls.   

The investigation is still ongoing, but the driver apparently has a history of mental illness, and it is believed at the moment that it was an intentional act, and not an accident,

She is being held on a million dollar bond because the judge said she didn't want her leaving the court house and getting back in a car.

With all respect to any American reading this, I have to say I have long thought that the mental health services in this country SUCK.   They are abysmal.    And I don't know why the politicians who are always saying this is the greatest country on the planet, don't do something about them.
