Eew

This is sorta awful. An old high school friend of Fio's whom she has been trying to get in touch with for years suddenly put a hate-filled, racist anti-Obama poster up on FB which, of course, endorses Trump. Fiorella is shocked, startled, dismayed, and wondering. Could her friend, who once had a steel-trap brain, have slipped over the edge?

Speaking of slipping over the edge, what's going on with Trump? Encouraging his fans to assassinate Hillary?  Claiming that Obama and Hillary founded Isis? Where's all this coming from? Advanced syphilis?  (Just sayin').

Actually, Fio thinks it's a bad case of vampiric narcissism. Trump lives off the roar of the crowd, and the more outrageous he gets, the more the crowd roars. How sad for Trump, his fans, and America,

What Will Happen When God Cuts off the Electricity?

Fiorella has long been concerned about our increasing dependence on electronics, and earlier this month, she was the victim of it.  Her credit card was hacked and she misplaced her car keys,   Mastercard thwarted the baddies and sent her a new card, and Mazda leapt into action and reprogrammed a new key for her, but it all took time--and Mazda cost money too.

We are all vulnerable.  What if Isis figures out how to shut us down?  How would we manage to drive our cars without pushing buttons?  How would we light out homes without flipping a switch?  How would we communicate with each other over the miles?  How would we cook our meals?

It's back to the cave man days, people. Thank God for Boy Scouts.
