Manu Chao - Desaparecido

I have an extra copy of Becoming by Michelle Obama.

Our two tickets to see her in person came with two books, and they've just arrived. If you want one, free including media mail shipping, be the first to comment below, and then send me a message with your name and address.

If there are no takers, I'll donate it to the library.

I think Drumpf was right, about catching ten terrorists.

The fact that they were all leaping is irrelevant.

My Rethug sister, her face in a newspaper, shrieked,

"Oh no! What are we going to to! They're storming the border! Climbing the walls! Coming in illegally by the thousands! Criminals all!"

I said, "Look at the picture of the woman running with two children. She's wearing a child's Disney nightgown as a shirt, cut to fit over her arms. We should take the 200 million dollars being spent on the troop presence, let people in, buy them clothes, give them food and shelter, and still have enough millions to figure it out from there.

Oh and by the way, what would your Jesus do?"

She couldn't think of an answer and just got up and walked away.

We are near the stage, waiting for the First Lady.

TD Garden in Boston is full and people are excited! We thousands are about to have an intimate conversation with Michelle Obama. ❤️❤️❤️

Hubby took my picture with her life-sized poster in the lobby. Dang, she makes me look fat. Oh well, I don't mind.

Free Solo: great movie

Documentary about Alex Honnold, first and only person to climb El Capitan (3,000+ ft) without ropes. So scary I had to close my eyes at times. Very well done.

After growing tomatoes 40 years, I learned something new.

Tomatoes can sprout?! Three tomatoes we cut open today looked like this. (These are internet photos, not my tomatoes.)

In the year 1944, I was...

Be still my heart! I got an email from Willie Nelson.

I'm sure it came from his heart and meant that he wants to meet me for a drink somewhere! (Slaps own face) OK, just kidding, but he did email me about Beto so I gave a few more dollars from up here in Mass.

Right on cue, my MAGA sister is having a fangurl fit.

"President Trump is coming to Columbia! He's flying into the Columbia Regional Airport on Thursday, 11/1 and having a rally at the Airport @ 6:30pm. We have free tickets but not sure if we will be able to go. They have Trump stands all over the place selling t-shirts, and hats, etc. I want to get one! 😊"

She knows my opinion and I just reminded her again how despicable this cruel crazy man is. That's it, we've sparred as usual, and now it's back to detente.

She's a fundamentalist and not well educated. I will not break with her; I've already lost one sister to cancer, and this one is a cancer survivor. But there is no hope, no hope at all, that these people will change.
