My grandson attends a public university in Florida

where his major is American history. Recently I asked him how he would be teaching the Civil War… would DeSantis insist that our Black ancestors arrived in 1960 on jet planes invited here by the sports and entertainment industry?

He reckoned that was an interesting take and not beyond the governor’s revisionist capabilities.

I would have chuckled at this just two or three years ago, but this man scares me more and more each day. People say he is not as nutty as Trump but I’m not sure about that.

He stayed in Cape Coral with his roommate’s family and they had quite the night, going through the eye.
But they survived. Glad to hear from you! Let’s hope this year has no more surprises like that one!
