Tuesday

Woke up this morning to high winds and very very, heavy drenching rain which continued all day.  I was out at the hospital at usual on a Tuesday, and had lunch there.

 

I also went to Walmart and got very wet indeed, normally I make a mental note of where I am parked but for some reason didn't do so today, so I was walking up and  down all the rows of cars looking for mine.  Just when I thought someone must have stolen it, I spotted it.   I won't do that again, not take note of where I'm parked.

 

The Presidential candidates have moved on from South Carolina to Nevada for another of those caucus things.   I thought they'd have a rest, they have been hard at it for days, holding meetings, making promises, hurling insults - the main insult hurler being Donald Trump.   I have a sneaking feeling that he is going to win the Election, be the next President.   I can't imagine why anyone would vote for Hilary Clinton.  It is not just her e-mails the FBI are interested in, it was mentioned today that they suspect some shenanigans involving the Clinton Foundation.

 

Bernie Sanders would be a good candidate but he is too socialist for the US, I don't think they are ready for it, maybe by the next election.  

 

I remember in my childhood people who were very right wing, devoted followers of Margaret Thatcher for example, thought that socialism was akin to communism.  Something VERY BAD, to be condemned, and I am hearing that over here by those on the Right.

 

I think the next wave of caucuses takes place next week, on what they are calling "Super Tuesday" and I think Oklahoma will be in that.
