Of course, by NO means do the fictional characters bear ANY resemblance to current political and social figures in relation to the child trafficking subject of the novel... no, not at all...

Working as a secretary at the Hollywood American Legion office one day, I picked up the phone, gave the standard greeting, and the older gentleman on the line (one of our members) said, "This is Mickey Rooney." My brain frosted over a bit and the only coherent thought I had was, "Why, yes, it is."

Ask Anne Frank.

For whatever good it might do, I keep my X account open so that I can go in and keep deleting things. This, I left alone. That possibility of Trump never leaving office is absurdly close to becoming a reality. (With any luck, God will intervene and stroke him out within the next year.)

The Quo Vadis, once paired with the Algiers Drive-In (to the right). Both are long gone now. The third photo shows the building after it closed down. Every white panel hides a window.

Broken clock / twice a day.

The wheelhouse of the SS Ste Claire, one of the boats that shuttled people from Detroit to Windsor, where they could spend the day at Bob-lo / Boblo Amusement Park. My father had a cousin who worked on the SS Columbia.

Daily #microfiction dose.

"The tide moved slowly, steadily, with eager hungry gyrations. It jostled the limp, prone body on the surf at a rhythmic pace. Water smeared blood over the bluish skin, but did not wash it away. Oh, no. That would have been a mercy. The sea knows no mercy."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

"They call us now 'Native Americans,' which is a generic term I never liked. But we are older than America, so how can we be native to something we are older than?"

I got to meet him once, sometime between 2007 and 2012.

China is going to be the world leader in clean energy.

Trump is trying to drag us back to the 18th century.

I mean, I've got to say, the insane thing about all of this is that I didn't think the GOP could have -less- of a plan than they did on previous shutdowns.

TURNS OUT I WAS WRONG

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

I worry for Rachel Maddow. I look at her, I see what this regime/administration is like, and I think about Dorothy Kilgallen--who knew the secrets behind the Kennedy assassination, and died under mysterious circumstances, as everyone who knew her felt how she was found didn't match her daily habits.

Well, for the most part, social media is more to soothe our individual, troubled souls.

ATC: Land everything. Go get a beer.

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi announced that she was going to release the Epstein files.

Because it was just a few months ago.

"I'm not a slave!"
Oh, yes, you are, honey. You're a slave to your anti-Democrat agenda.

When I went back to college in 2013, I had the 9/11 G.I. Bill, which only covered 90% of expenses. I put the remaining 10% on credit cards (because I was 44 and couldn't get student loans at the time). I still owe on the cards, but now I'm MORE than grateful I never had Federal student loans!
