    We are going to a morning rally to avoid the 106F heat.

      Apparently it's also World Saltmarsh Day. But I already have a soft spot for our king.

        "...disappeared people off the streets..."

        It's easy enough to be able to look at a website, such as the one in the link, and, to realize you need to research it, far beneath its surface value to truly understand it.

        I truly wish I had the time to take a longer look at this link, but, unfortunately, I'm having a small crisis type situation.

        A ceiling tile in the hallway, the width of it, and rectangular, was holding water. This water revealed itself as small drips.

        24 hours later.

        Two seams opened up in the tile and it gave way, but it does not look like it is danger of falling from the ceiling.

        I'm now using the porcelain pan, two large stainless steel kettles, two towels, and two fleece blankets.

        The water has stopped after it poured. I had to empty everything out the back door.

        Priced long stay hotel rates in Google and received daily rates.

        Well, for one thing, my cousin, in her role as a fiduciary, told me the estate would not be advancing money for this house in no uncertain terms.

        In which I spill the tea.

        She, also, told me in the same text, from the estate email, she was glad agency was my highest value, both for the reasons, being almost 58 and never having lived by myself, and, equally, a thirty-five year friendship ended.

        She said agency being a value in my life is newly appeared.

        She said I wasn't the only one who suffered and why hadn't I managed like, "...the rest of us."

        She reminded me my brother is in pain every day. Well, yes. Stage IV bone cancer means there's been a malignantly that's spread to an organ far from the cancer's original site.

        She informed me in no uncertain terms she was doing voluntary work according to loyalty to certain family members. But, she didn't include me as a family member.

        My brother and I had the same mother. She could't be more related to him than I am to him in the universe as we know it.

        So, it boiled down to, in her role as a fiduciary, putting me down in comparison to her and others in my father's and uncle's families.

        And, she implied that I was born without agency. A truly bizarre accusation, this. The reality is agency is second nature to me, as it happens. I can't express it but I don't think I'd be where I am in life, in general, without thinking and following up for myself, and in a methodical way.

        I want to make wise choices. An entire part of my life is taken up with this process.

        Well, I replied with my two specific complaints.

        I said, "Nanny didn't feel that way about me. Aunt Jennise didn't feel that way about me. And, to the point, my father, and I happen to know this to be a fact, didn't feel that way about me....

        My father could have made a new will, complete, and legally binding, if he had chosen to do it."

        I haven't heard any more personal comments. Our working relationship is fine.

        I apologize for going off topic.

            "Love is our resistance" is a line from a song by the rock band, Muse.

                An elderly man from Gainesville was one of dozens of veterans arrested outside the U.S. Capitol Building as they protested against President Donald Trump’s military parade scheduled for Saturday.

                U.S. Capitol Police confirm John Spitzberg, 87, of Gainesville, was arrested for crossing a police line during a demonstration on Friday.

                Video of this dangerous criminal here:

                  I'm really glad I went to the protest next door in Plymouth. Population ~6600 not counting University students. The students are all gone home right now. Still, there were several hundred people at the protest on the common, it was great. Tons of signs; my favorite:

                  OMG
                  GOP
                  WTF

                  Live music. Horn honking. Very upbeat atmosphere. I had a nice chat with a fiber artist I know.

                  Someone on Reddit has a short clip:

                        Is that a prop or a public art installation?
                        I am impressed either way.
