On the flip side (not of wheelbarrows!), my mother is finding that her church community just assumes everyone in their circle is for Bernie, which is not the case!

Yes! I've been wanting one for a while, but nsm to have to haul it in my car. But someone in the neighborhood was selling one for about half what they are new. So I walked over and bought it. No wrestling it into the car.

flushed water heater. messy, tiring, hopefully got enough scale and gunk out of it to stop the banging.

also did a 5K this morning.

I bought cat litter and soap, picked up cheese, fruit, and a wrap sandwich at the organic grocery, swept my living room, scrubbed my toilet and bathtub, scrubbed my stovetop, bathroom and kitchen countertops, and put a load in the dryer. Once I take the trash and cat poop out I am done being productive for the weekend.

You all sound like you don't want America to be great again.

I've gotta do all the cleaning tomorrow. Ran out of will today. But I did decide I like people, for today.

Filling up my tank (and grumbling that it wouldn't let me buy a car wash) the guy filling up across from me asked me if I could smell him. I must've looked visibly startled and he suddenly looked horrified and started laughing "And this is why my wife tells me not to talk to strangers." He tells me he's a photographer and just came from a job for the city that had him down in a manhole taking pictures of a 200 year old terra cotta valve under under Howard street and is was feelthy and gross and he had a jumpsuit on but he's got a model shoot and doesn't think he has time to get home. I couldn't smell it on him. We talked about how cool it was to get access to stuff like that and the hidden guts of the city. And then he says "You've got a great smile. Glad I got to see it and not completely creep you out!" As I drove down Greenmount, saw him pulled over, photographing an interesting falling down house. And so I waved.

During my swim, a dad with his family came over to tell me We can't believe you've been swimming steadily this whole time, m e & the kids are really impressed and we just wanted to tell you that." And then as I was leaving, another couple of parents watching their kids swim stopped to ask me about my swimming and my lap counter. Mom was like "you made me wish I could get in the water and do that. Maybe next time. If I can make it a lap..."

So for now, I liked people.

I think that's proof that you make the world a better place just by your presence, sarameg

Aw, that's sweet. But it's their presence making the world better, reaching out to just be kind. They're my examples to follow.

There's only one person in my Facebook environment who supports Trump. But then, my Facebook friends are 99% Buffistas or Australians. (This guy's Australian, son of family friends, but grew up in Switzerland, and appears to have picked up some disappointing attitudes about immigration.)

There's another guy with whom I used to play D&D in Philly who keeps posting about gun rights. He's the only one I ever need to make an effort to ignore.

There's a boy at school with a crush on Franny who is a Trump supporter. Frances on the other hand is Hillary's gal all the way.
