I think this article about LBJ is interesting: [link] More nuanced than you'd expect.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I've been reading the Robert Caro Johnson biographies--interesting guy. Just when I thought I absolutely didn't like him, he could kind of redeem himself. Vietnam might have been different if he didn't think backing down was weak/ personally humiliating though.

Hmmmm, she knocked the price down,$750 for all. And they are in great shape. She's an antiquer, just replacing it with pieces from the 1920s. I think I might get them all. Bedroom rearrangement involved.
But first I'm cleaning the front room and putting it back together.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am a fan of antique dressers. If I had a bigger house it would be stuffed with antiques.
There's always more nuance to people and political situations than one expects. It's very annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tonight's entry in what is apparently Jesse's Heartwarming Queer Film Festival: Pride, about the gay group supporting the striking miners in the 80s.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Aw, that's a great movie.

I am tired and got a guy coming at 9:30 with furniture.

Totally great movie.
I was feeling pretty crappy all week, and then I got a lot of sleep last night and decided to do a 10K today. Yay, sleep. Then I went to the library and checked out physical copies of books, which I haven't done in forever. It took me less than a minute to locate the books I wanted on the shelves, so I guess I've still got my library mojo.
