Okay, Matilda's at the airport, she's checked her luggage. She's got her boarding pass. She just has to hang out for a few hours at her gate for her flight home.

As the resident Oaklander, I'm pleased that it's Lee instead of the DINO Taylor, but I'm not super optimistic. It's a shit job in a shitty situation and I just hope she can stem some of the bleeding.
I want to spend less $ on cops and more on social services that prevent the need for cops, but that's an almost impossible political task. At best she will keep the MECRO team going so they can respond to non-violent social services needs.

Our wings are not tired.
Best of luck to Barbara Lee. A tough job for sure, but I like to see decent normal people in these roles.
My House district is being targeted by the GOP in 2026. The current rep won by 52%, but it is one of those bizarrely carved out districts where they have drawn it to dilute the solid blue cities as much as possible.
Happy Easter to those celebrating. Enjoy breaking free of the Lenten restrictions to those who did the thing. I have in previous years, but I just didn't bother this year. DH is still too sick for us to do much of anything today except maybe take a stroll on the beach and watch the tourists.
Yay Matilda coming home! It is wonderful that she had this experience.
My house had been invaded by shit-flies
I'm not sure know what these are, and don't think I want to either. House flies? One of the upsides to the constant ocean breeze here is that in the 2-1/2 years I have been in the condo I have never seen a single critter, ant, mosquito, fly, none. This is quite different from my previous 40+ years in Florida. I like it!
