Walked Kimball, carrying my umbrella, but I didn't need to unfurl it. Did my usual Sunday rituals--breakfast and crossword, then cut up some bell peppers for dinner.
After that--ta da!--I actually got a lot of sorting, filing, and throwing away done. I was proud of myself, although I still have more.
That took me all the way to lunch, which I ate, then hopped the bus to town. I wore boots, gloves, and a scarf with hood, as it was supposed to shower. Turned out it didn't, but boy, was it cold and windy. In fact, there was a "frost warning" on the Internet and I got up this morning to 36 degrees--egad!
Walked the usual loop, then back to the library. I noticed that a meeting was just ending in the activity room, so looked in to see. It was on the need for universal health care, conducted by the Democratic Socialist Party and I signed up to get their newsletter. I don't want to join any political group at this point, but there's no question they're worlds closer to my beliefs than the repubs and dems. I talked to some and emphasized that pacifism is my major concern and they seem to promote that. I was heartened by the number of young people there--maybe there's hope for the world after all.
I continued on to the library, as I wanted the print version of Fight And Fury. This is an account of the first days of the Trump administration and, even more significantly, the people with whom he surrounded himself. I'm listening to the recorded one (in the car) and if even half is true, we're in deep doo-doo. The book was out, though--I'll see if the Hill Street branch has it.
Waiting for the bus in town, it was really cold, but worse, very windy. However, I got home while it was only dusk and, since this was close to 6:00, I was heartened--daylight savings time, come on in!
