   He doesn’t really have any political aspirations; he just wants to stay out of jail. So he’s trying to make sure that he’s President for life. That requires choosing people willing to fend off any efforts to remove him from office once his official 4 years are up. No other qualifications make any difference to him.

   We had a neighbor who’d lived here for even longer than us (and it will be 43 years for us in January). He had two 200 amp power lines put in just to run an incredible display with lights, music, and moving objects of every kind that filled his front yard and patio, and spread all over and above his house; and when he moved two years ago it almost felt like Christmas had disappeared.

   Going to be a lot of very happy Trumps when Don goes. All that money, and no love lost. Of course, except for Melania, who was smart enough to renegotiate her share, the others will fight over the money until no one gets any except their lawyers.

   Gluten intolerant? Diabetic? Whatever the reason, poor thing…

   Sometimes I feel so sedentary that I might as well be sedimentary.

   How you pronounce Uranus depends on the country you live in. It SHOULD be pronounced the same way that you pronounce uranium, which is named after the planet. Jerks who call it your-AH-nuss to avoid embarrassment (pun intended) need to grow up and learn to ignore the titters.

   in California you have to separate compostables, put them in a compostable bag, then put them in with the yard waste. Whether the recycling plant ever bothers to separate the compost bags from the greenery is questionable, and for recyclable plastics you have to check the number to see if it’s one that your waste company will accept (which is a different list for every city). A great idea for the future, but a real pain. That’s why Sam Yorty was elected mayor of Los Angeles in the 1950’s by promising that people wouldn’t have to separate their trash anymore. Electrical stuff is supposed to go to a special site, but I take care of mine by setting it on the curb; there are people who know how to disassemble it and separate the pieces that can be reused, or treated to extract their gold, so they always disappear within a couple of hours after I set them on the curb. A lot more convenient than driving 10+ miles to the nearest electronics dump site.

    At UCLA in the 1960’s, that computer was in a building of its own, kept in the low 60’s day and night so it wouldn’t overheat, and you had to walk your boxes of punch cards over to it. This “prison” looks like it would have a much newer model (at least tape drives, and probably better than that).
