Questionable Saturday VII
What book were you forced to read in high school that turned out to be better than you expected?

Fry Day
And now the great weather packs its bags and heads to other climes. We are going from shorts and T-shirts to high trmps in the fifties and nighttime lows in the mid-thirties. I suspect the accompanying wind will bring down some leaves, so there is no doubt I will complain about that in upcoming posts.
We are taking the grandgirls to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum today. They have been there countless times, but love it anyway. Both girls specifically asked if I’d go along, so that’s a nice thing.

Obtuse Observation
I encountered a bumper sticker yesterday that has me confused.
Normally, I consider myself a fairly astute when it comes to politics, but today I am not so sure. Here is what it said;
Make Iran Great Again
My first reaction was almost instant anger. Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction to the large Muslim population in the area. I immediately interpreted the slogan as pro-Iranian. Since I’m of a certain age, I’ve had strong feelings about Iran since the Hostage Crisis. Sorry, I’m not sorry at all.
After a few minutes I thought maybe the bumper sticker (it was actually on the back window of an SUV) might have been a play on the President’s slogan of Make America Great Again, supporting the current conflict with Iran?
What do you think it means? I guess I’ll blame the slogan itself for a total lack of clarity.
Hmmm, maybe that’s the point…

When you throw up last night’s dinner
I am not sure why some of you cannot understand that the revulsion, disdain, and certainty that Trump is evil and ruining the country is exactly how half the country felt about Obama and Biden.
In fact, my feelings about those two is even stronger now that I see the direction the Democrats are heading.
