Don't even know where to begin....
Yes, the novel-coronavirus pandemic is still raging, the U.S. death toll is now in six figures, and the horrible excuse for a president thinks that businesses should rush to be open, virus-spread be damned. Then on Monday, white Minneapolis police officers lynched a black man who was being investigated for a non-violent offense. Yes, I said lynched. That's what they did. The cops killed a man while someone was taking a video of it, and now Minneapolis and other cities are burning. And the pathetic excuse for a president cannot tell the difference between actual leadership and egging on a race war. More and more cities are devolving into chaos and, even though I don't like violence, I can't say I blame the protesters. That lynching was beyond appalling.
Yes, I had a nice time during the Virtual Balticon sessions last weekend, plus a nice chat with Sonya/Patches on Wednesday night. I am plugging away with the church budget team, Toastmasters, and plans to teach a class through the Virtual University of Atlantia in two weeks. But my own concerns seem so damned petty. Pathetic, really.
