3am Massive Golf Cart Race in Local Backyards... Harriet: You Can Have Mine,
This Is an Arizona Hat...
4am Proceeding from Church to Car as Fast as Possible,
Getting In, as Someone Hastens Up to Say, "I Don't Want to Interrupt, But...."
We Are Silent the Entire Time...
9am Making a Deep Connection w/ a Perceptive Tourist Transportation Worker in an
Alpine Area, Then Kind of Altering at End w/ a For Formal Perfunctory Farewell,
Concerned About a Rail Connection, Towards Which I Will Have to Walk,
Gathering Up Belongings,Which Require Re-Packing, and an Exact Manner of Carrying,
Forgetting Key Objects and Having to Return Several Times, Gently Balancing All....

All She'll Have to Do Is Deal with a 2-Minute Pain"...

Amidst all the goofy horrors, post-January 6 Insurrection, nice to hear and see on air today Elizabeth Warren (b. 1949),
Carl Bernstein (b. 1944), and Bob Woodward (b. 1943).
