   I think that our only hope is that Biden has a plan to exercise his presidential immunity for the good of the country; otherwise, we are totally screwed. It would be virtually impossible to undo what the Trumpists plan to do if they win the election, especially since they encourage violent means to get what they want. Please note that i don’t say gain power in that it is obvious that they have been leading a shadow government in parallel with the elected one the past four years. And, they haven’t even bothered to hide the fact. Why have they been allowed to get away with this?

   There was a really great article in the New York Times magazine today about Robert Paxton re: trumpism and fascism. I highly recommend it.

   I LOVE it! It reminds me of the Roma dances we are learning in our international folk dance group. Great fun!

   I thought he already has a government in exile the past 4 years.

   Sounds like it could be fun to folk dance to.

   Same here – we don’t sit there solidly until it is done; definitely, it is a when we feel like it or waiting for tea to brew kind of thing. Yesterday’s newspaper featured a couple of locals who participated in a puzzle competition – boy, would that sure take the fun out of it! So far, we prefer Ravensburger’s quality and like eeboo as well (the Alchemist series). We will be trying a White Mountain as a Christmas puzzle, a brand recommended by one of our friends.

   Not only were their weapons of war inferior, they succumbed to the introduced diseases.

   My spouse got nostalgic about puzzling during the holidays in his youth, so we got one just after the New Year. My, oh my, is it ever addictive! After trying a 2000 piecer, we settled on on 1000 piece puzzles. There is ALWAYS one in progress now. It is something fun to do together, and surprisingly relaxing (perhaps because it requires so much focus?). The funniest thing is that just about every one of my friends (decades long friendships!) is a “closet” puzzler! I had no idea! We all get a laugh out of that.
