Today’s Thoughts
Monsoon
is doing well…rained most of the night…gentle rain. Another one around 11am for
about an hour.
I
had lunch with Mary and Mike. Good food, good conversations. Faith and Andy are
in Phx to watch their grandson play his 1st Jr. year Varsity football
game.
Last
night’s first debate looked to me more like a VP vetting than a Presidential debate.
Debates have rules that are rarely followed. I don’t want a President who interrupts
others and yelling your position is not Presidential.
Trump’s
arrest will be in the evening, so as not to mess up traffic with a motorcade. Interesting?
That also gives all the news channels have all day to show his movements,
rather than give us other news. It is an historical event, but after 3 previous
ones, not really that newsworthy.
Enjoy
