Hello Paulette. Few things delight me more than successfully avoiding human interaction. Except for you, of course. 🤗😘

Remember when Ian Hislop said this .. "After an election or a referendum you are entitled to go on making the argument.When a govt in this country wins an election, the opposition does not just say 'oh that's absolutely right I've got nothing to say for 5yrs"

This series offers a compelling look at the dynamic tension between emotion, evidence, and intuition. I strongly recommend it.

Good morning Caz. Yes please with the tea. Had a strange dream too (aren’t they all?). I was walking through a busy town being intimidated by suspicious looking people trying to hand out small hand waving union and George flags. I needed to pass them as quickly as possible to avoid a confrontation.

Warning! If you sit too long the tree will grow around you.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
