During the staff meeting I watched three coyotes playing in the field south of my office window. They all peed on the tree and scratched the dirt to cover it up. They seemed well fed and happy.
Coyotes.
In the last few weeks the ICE NAZIs have murdered two people in Minneapolis. It is so depressing to know that our country is being run by racist White Nationalists. Every day I hope Trump dies. Not sure if Vance would be any better. I cannot say what I wish would happen to other people, especially Noem and Miller.
I work on my latest book, a taboo subject- SLAVERY. Meanwhile the National Park Service is taking down exhibits that mention the topic, like that will somehow make history prettier and nicer.
Matt and I went to the Northwest Bricks and Minifigs store and I traded in a bin of Lego bricks I had accumulated for $132. I then got a castle set for $9 with the trade in value.
We then stopped at Lee Lee's Chinese grocery store. So many strange groceries. I purchased some durian-flavored cookies. Matt said that durian smelled like diesel fuel. I confess, I did not believe it.
At home I opened the cookies. The smell, so strongly of fuel. I made the mistake of tasting one. SO GROSS. I threw the whole package in the garbage and then had to take it to the outside garbage can. Then I kept burping up the nastiness.
