Another new day in this horrible winter. First, there's that it's winter and here, it means that after Xmas and certainly after New Year, everyone withdraws from each other and tries not to see each other again until April or so. It seems to be a northern thing.
But there's also that we're in our shiny new Nazi regime, and today's new twist is, lots of people are not able to get passports now. So they can't leave the country unless they sneak out somehow.
Also, the new Gestapo is going door to door in some places, checking for IDs which I'm pretty sure is unconstitutional but that doesn't matter any more. If you are brown and here not legally, or brown and here legally but they just plain decide to, it's off to whatever country we've decided you've come from, or off to the shiny new concentration camp that's been authorized in Guantanamo. Or one of the new ones land's allocated for in Texas. Or some other one, as the Nazis 1.0 had about 900 camps and I'm sure we're determined to outdo them.
I listed 20 things, packed about 6 including one big thing and got those off to FedEx and the post office, did a study session at Paris Baguette, and got back here and was settling down to maybe some cornet practice when Ken called to say he's tired tonight and will come by tomorrow night. I said, "See you tomorrow night!" and did a bit over an hour's practice.
