Little Grey Bungalow
I tripped over the curb at the War Memorial in Lerwick and fell flat on my face.
(UPDATE: Three nights later, I rolled over in the twin bed in my hotel room and fell out, hitting every single corner on the nightstand and accumulating a set of bruises on my shoulder and wrist that made my husband scowl when I got home. I am used to sleeping in a much larger bed).
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people ~ Harry Truman.
When Baldur the Wonder Dog and I finished at the library tonight, we were followed out to the parking lot by five little girls (and I mean little, the ramrod of the outfit was probably about nine). I explained that it was time to take the doggie home, opened the back door of the Blazer, and gave the command LOAD. Baldur jumped in.
So did five little girls.
(I had to bribe them with bookmarks to get them out).
From Heather Cox Richardson: "On Friday, the White House debuted computer games on the official White House website. The 'games' are ripoffs of older games like Snake, this one with a white man in a suit picking up Black, Asian and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits."
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. ~ John Adams
