It's only Saturday, but the news coverage is rapidly

shifting to put Clinton and Trump at the top of the coverage. The media is moving on toward the General Election. Others are slower to catch on to what is news, it seems.

Clinton vs. Trump. That's the story from here on out.

Someone endorses Hillary? News
Someone insults Trump? News
Primary stuff, including uncounted CA votes? Not news.

And so it goes, heading toward November. I'm all in.

I'm an old geezer. I've been working all day, and not paying attention to what day it is. I work every day. My abject apologies for my "senior" moment are in order.

On the other hand, though:

GET OFF MY DAMNED LAWN, YOU KIDS!

"News" is in the eye of the beholder. Something that interests me is news as far as I'm concerned. If it is not interesting to you, you can simply ignore it.
