Personal, Political, and Possibility

FIORELLA HAS CROSSED THE RUBICON as Miss Osborn, her high school Latin teacher, would have said. She's dealt with all the insurance policies and is now into the investments, which look pretty straight-forward. So far as she can tell, the rest is just clean-up (fingers crossed).

By the way. Fio seems to be in good physical health too, according to her doctor. She even passed the three-word memory test.
*
Hallelujah! The newspaper has been delivered to Fio's door for five days in a row. Did she tell you that delivery had gotten so spotty that she taped the American-Statesman phone number to the back of her land-line to make the all-too-familiar call into the robotic complaint desk easier?
*
Hoping things are looking up politically. Fiorella, as you know, pins on her home-made DUMP TRUMP button every day, rain or shine, and more and more, when she goes out, someone sidles up to her and says, "I don't like him either."
*
Has anyone considered that it might not be such a good idea for everything we depend on to be run by electricity? Actually, it makes us, in war and peace,more  vulnerable to mother nature and people who like to mess things up. Fio recommends a pen and paper back-up. And maybe a mule or two too.
