Home and back inside (again).
This is ridiculous.
Am struggling in the direct sun even though the temperature is only 21.7 °C #BOM says it feels Like only 19.9 °C.
What am I going to do when we get our regular Summer temps.
It's only 4 or 5 years since we had 4 successive 40C+ days.

Bill Barr’s daughter worked at Treasury to protect Trump’s tax returns, and loans at Deutsche Bank.
Rudy Giuliani’s son got $363,000 to be WH sports liaison with no experience.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner used the WH as $640 million bonanza.
It was never about Hunter Biden.

"Somebody here has had a successful COP, that's the 2,000 lobbyists. And you know, we're given crumbs to celebrate, but it's like asking us to celebrate flowers that will lie on our graves, you know, how do we celebrate that?"

Thinking about how I pride myself on being a well-informed adult, and yet have been unable to complete a single local, national or international news story in the last month without immediately wishing I hadn't.
Ignorance isn't bliss, but being informed is a f***ing nightmare these days.

Some more deeply considered writing on Australia's colonial history.
(I once had a preschool student who was VERY proud of the famous forbear for whom he was named.
Australians would recognise the name as one known as "the whipping parson")

As of today the winner had a 55 vote lead. For those who think "my vote doesn't matter" just stop and think about this. The first Democrat controlled Board of Commissioners in 100 years with a slim majority. Your Vote ALWAYS matters.

If you didn't watch Maddow or Lawrence tonight you may want to do so. You can find both shows on YouTube. That twice impeached, single term guy is telling you what he plans to do when elected. Believe him. We have to stay united against him. He is a danger to all of us.
