From Politics to the Virus and Back

When Fiorella was in fifth grade, her teacher, Miss Grissom (later, Mrs. Pewitt) introduced a little true-life education into the classroom by allowing a short class debate on the presidential candidates. Carol Ann Adams supported Stevenson because he was a Democrat and Texas always voted Democratic, and Fio supported Eisenhower because her family was from Ohio and Ohio always voted Republican.
     How times change! Texas has been voting Republican for some time now, along with Ohio, and Fio has switched to Blue, Blue, Blue.

Fiorella would have a lot more time to write if she'd hire someone to do her taxes and take care of her inheritance responsibilities for her, but, of course, she'd have to pay them. Damn--there's always a catch!

Button, button, who's got the button--Fiorella can't find the aluminum foil she bought at H-E-B last week. She's put out a "wanted" notice on FB and hopes she'll get a result because baked salmon is her favorite noon meal. The weird thing is that somehow she lost track of the foil between the check-out counter and her car.

Ever chatty, Fiorella contacted three of her Austin friends yesterday--one by phone and two by
email. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Wondering how Trumpites are explaining Trump's mishandling of the the corona virus thing to themselves--all Obama's fault?
