Tis' official. I am among the unemployed masses as of today. Emailed my resignation to my Director this morning. Now instead of hunting back issue comic books I turn to the elusive job hunting. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a quick turn around. I pray God gives you favor In your job search and that it's quick.

Without going into detail, I am finding the news and current events in the US increasingly stressful. I don't remember things being this tense all over before in my lifetime so far. I'm really worried about what the next few months are going to be like. Crazy times out there. Stay safe everyone. Yes. Oh Yes.

As an outsider watching in on the US it very much feels like a case of “what has happened today” instead of “ has anything happened” now more thene ever.

Secret police? Check. Eliminate fair housing regulations? Check. Deny funding to fight the pandemic? Check. Hawk for beans at the Resolute desk? Check. If 1968 and 1932 had a baby, it would be named 2020.

(and my VERY Republican Father is upset that i use "profane" language when referring to the current occupant of the White House and the whole Adminsitration. they are *all* evil. The cruelty is the point of the GOP).

So this picture was taken outside one of my favorite little used bookstores in the village (Yellow Springs, Chappelle's hometown) where my lcs is this afternoon... (Photo by John Wehn-er) Chapelle and Letterman just relaxing on a bench taking a break from filming a Netflix special...the boxes on the ground in the background are where they put their "take these for free books" that often have gems among them. -M

Number two son just got his LSAT scores. He scored a 170, which is very good. Good enough to get into a top 14 school. He's aiming for Georgetown or NYU. So he's happy and I'm happy.

My wife used to visit there regularly. She's still a member of the Yellow Springs Friends Meeting. The village of Yellow Springs is about 6 miles south of me. Unfortunately the way the roads between here and there wind through the cornfields, it is still about a 15 minute drive. -M
