So looked forward to Pete Townsend's update.

Quadro would be my island album.
Too bad I had to listen to "extraordinary" Joe Scar scream to a very sophisticated guest.

Affordability. Seems like the Dems finally have a hook.

Here's hoping the memo is sent to every dem, ala Gingrich, with a means to apply it to their actions.
Proof in the pudding.
Should the present office holders wait for the recently elected to start the application? No.
It could be the imprimatur we've needed to take out the divide. Eighty plus percent of us battle affordability. Doesn't matter one's allegiance.
It could be the connector to all the issues we have in common. Child care, health care, nutrition, and beyond.
Wrap our conversations on what we are doing to make life more affordable.
"It's the economy, stupid."

Don't know if this has been broached, but smoke

and mirrors are a common ploy with this guy.
There is a master plan, Project 2025, for example.
Worked on for years.
It appears there was a removal of some East Wing items done before the demolition. When they started this, is unknown.
The East Wing sits atop the bunker.
Many high wealth oligarchs are building their own self styled bunkers.
Under the guise of constructing the ballroom, and the control of reporting anything related to the Pentagon and interviews of contractors, could there be other plans afoot?
This demolition provides access to the foundation necessary to construct a large edifice.
The drawings of such, indicate a large, multi storied building.
The actual White House footprint is only 14,000 sq ft.
Could many of the 90,000 sq ft be underground?
The engineering numbers and costs are troublesome to most evaluators.
Could he be planning a safe space for his family and toadies?

Living through bamboozlement is tiring.

The White House footprint is 168' x 85.6'. A bit more than 14,364 sq. ft.
Just saying.

Having done some restoration work on 17th and 18th

century homes and restored furniture from those time periods, I admired the craftsmanship of the carpenters and furniture makers.
Having hunted through many salvage yards, I know the door and window casings alone would be cherished for their White House identity.
What savages we have managing our country.
Is this what we accept as a nation?
I continue to be sickened.

Thought this should be available as an example of correspondence.

Dear Sir Oswald,

Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one’s own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.

I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.

I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.

Yours sincerely,

Bertrand Russell

Big news in the world of minutiae.

Publix has gone back to the larger sized cap on its half gallon half and half.
The struggles after the plastic reducing attempt at a smaller sized cap went away today.
A bit of joy in Mudville.

We have to teach all how to feel smart and feel

good about it.
Now we are all taught just to enjoy feeling good.
