Still Procrastinating About Anderson - Rejected, Political News That Sticks In My Craw

I was up around 4 am, meaning to do laundry. I worked on "The Pyschotic Ape" instead, then went back to sleep around 7. This was the start of my vacation day.

Then it was off to physical therapy at 10. I got out of there around 11. Then it was back here before heading off to Anderson. The Knights of Columbus no longer do their St. Patrick's Day celebration.; I got to see K for a few minutes. Then it was the courthouse, Memorial Park cemetery, and home.

Here, I napped from 4 pm until 6:30. Is there any wonder I accomplish nothing?

I went off to do my laundry after 8 pm. Home now, intending to end the day with Resident Alien.

 From NBC News:

• Chinese state media are celebrating Trump’s move to gut Voice of America and other U.S. government-funded news outlets that push back against authoritarian regimes.

Political stuff sticking in my craw:

The Paris Review - Dreams from the Third Reich (The Paris Review)

So, what dreams do Trump and Elon Musk inspire in you?

Deadly Tornado Rips Through Midwest Days After Trump Gutted Key Agency (The New Republic).

There is a reason for even the federal agencies you do not like.

Poem for the day: SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC  (HILOBROW). Robinson Jeffers is one of the few poets I have read and really liked. Here, I like this line: "corruption/Never has been compulsory".

Speaking of corruption: Trump’s Defiance of the Courts Just Took a Radical Leap (The New Republic)
