Oops, Fio forgot to post. She's been going back and forth from Husband's rehab center every day, plus meeting with two groups of writing buddies, plus welcoming Minnesota son back to the heart of Texas. Son is not only a boon companion, but he's committed himself to cutting the rawhide dog bones in two for Sonia dog and fixing some things around the house. He's also great when it comes to electronics. And, no, you can't have him.

Fiorella plans to start laying down rocas again soon. There are still parts of the driveway edging that need shoring up, and she also wants to shovel up the smaller, leftover rocks to use in other projects. Then there are newly-planted cast iron plants, which all seem to be on their last legs. Fio may have to pay a visit to the Home Depot garden center this fall, but what's new?

La Piloto is speeding toward its bloody finale. Now that half the population of Mexico has been killed off, the major villains are turning against each other, one of them even shooting himself in the head. In another thread, after being identified as Amanda's murderer, Sulima turned her pistola on Yolanda, la piloto. then took off in la avion (the airplane).

You do realize, of course, that Fio has always written. And always will.

Capsules of Trumpdom
This crap about having cops enforce immigration laws--as if they don't have enough to do. Please, Donald, let them concentrate on keeping the peace and solving crimes.

Fiorella is disturbed by Trump's isolationist agenda.The more the United States stands alone in the world, the less influence it has on the world. And the more the United States is at odds with Mexico and Canada, its immediate neighbors, the less attention it will pay to shenanigans across the sea. Hello, Vladimir.

Donald is trying to divert attention from his low inauguration turn-out and Conway's laughable invention of the term "alternate fact" by projecting again, talking about the election being rigged against him when it was actually rigged in his favor, just like he was the one guilty of all the accusations he hurled at Hillary. MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL/ WHO'S THE UGLIEST ONE OF ALL?
*
Trump supporters are aping their glorious leader's blood thirst. Vituperation and vengeance are the name of the game, and Fiorella has been one of its targets. It's hard to remain on the high road when the low road is so very low.

According to news leaking out of DC, the troops are not that happy. Maybe a palace coup is in the offing. We can only hope.

Trump--The Man Who Would Be God
Fiorella has noticed that the Republican Presidential candidate is not on a first name basis with himself, instead preferring to refer to himself as "Mr. Trump" or "President Trump," Even more preferable of course, is "God Trump."

Have you picked up the pattern? Whenever The Donald is in an uncomfortable situation--like visiting a black church, or being a guest on a talk show, or shuffling off to Mexico like a trained bear--he is totally non-reactive. There is no identification with his audience, no crossing of wits with Jimmy Kimmel, no meaningful discussion. The man has has no empathy, no wit, and no brain.
***
Trump's FB ads have been a weird cross of hucksterism and begging. They've also been amateurish--grammar errors and bizarre photos. Fio suspects Trump and the Trumpets are making the videos themselves in the old Apprentice studio in Trump Tower, then billing the Republican National Committee big bucks for their "labor."

Small World
Daughter and Husband are heading out on their eight-month-delayed honeymoon tomorrow. Husband and Fio had a delayed honeymoon too, but it was seven years late. And we went to Mexico while they're going to Europe for three weeks--France, Spain, and Germany.
When Fiorella was is college, the pundits kept talking about how the world was getting smaller. Fio didn't believe them then, but she was wrong. The world is MUCH smaller now. While her parents traveled from Texas to Ohio en famille once a year at the most, Fio has traveled to New York or its environs solo three times. And she and Husband have visited Older Son and his wife in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Minnesota--and Younger Son in California, Fio was even scheduled to visit Canada earlier this year, but the plane got stuck on the runway too long and she had to disembark.
Smaller and smaller. When's the next shuttle to Mars?
