I‘ve been Claude Rains since the days of Usenet. Shocked? Invisible most of the time. Photography, dogs playing, caretaker & cook. Urbanism, more bike paths…please? Drives a big, blue TARDIS.

So, I had a nice , relaxing Sunday afternoon, on the couch, sipping Swiss Miss & finishing up season 2 of C.O.B.R.A., watching fictional characters handling government crisis, and when I plug back in to what we laughingly call Reality, the POTUS is jibbering nonsense about Venezuela & this 🤪 chyron

Or, in a classic case of projection/confession, he’s probably going to “execute” his rivals sometime between next week and 2028?
Either way, someone needs to take Grandpa’s keys, like ASAP.
