Lots of people calling out Trump for posting such a racist image of the Obamas on his social media platform. And rightly so. Trump was wrong to do so. No one should behave that way, especially the President. Trump is a bully and a boor. That said, I'm glad he's on our side. Far from pretty and nice, but he gets the job done. Not like he's the only politician acting unbecomingly.
Question: why weren't all these people upset when all the memes were portraying Trump as the orangutan?
Some are saying the Obamas were only in the last 2 seconds of a longer clip about 2020 election interference. No outrage over a potential government overthrow. Hard to know what is and isn't truth these days. Unwise to speak out without really knowing the facts. As always, I'm speaking to myself, more than anyone else.
Friday: the the day got busy. Spend almost 2 hours at the gym, then returned home to get ready to go down to lunch with W&MC.
Ate at Sammy's just south of downtown on Northside Drive, about a mile south of Mercedes Benz Stadium, at the corner of Fulton Street, which runs all the way to 75/85 at the Georgia State Convocation Center / baseball stadium / football stadium.
I had the Cuban sandwich. Will had the reuben. MC the Italian sandwich. Ceil got the Greek salad. Good food. Lingered for almost two hours. MC stayed there to finish her work day.
As we were talking a familiar face walked in - Willis Norman. He's taken a new job with a startup construction company across the street. Right now the six person firm is building one project at a time (a single family home), with a few smaller renovation projects going on as well. Willia, Joel, and Charles all have birthdays coming up.
Took an hour to drive back home. Traffic traffic traffic.
A very nice evening at the Halls last night, celebrating Lee's 70th birthday and my retirement. My other friend Reid grilled chicken and shrimp, to go with all the Mexican fixings. Nine in attendance: the Halls, Earharts, Murphys, Chos, and Sean Brasfield. The Halls gave me a cowbell to summon Ceil, and a red button that screams NO!
Cindy Cho brought a delicious Mexican dip. Cindy specialized in cooking her native Korean cuisine. She says she might start a ladies dinner club once her youngest heads off the college this fall. Women will be falling all over themselves to sign up.
Anna had a High Country yoga event at the Avalon this morning, then she and C went shopping. Caleb is out at the Waste Management Open in Phoenix.
This morning I pulled out 12 shirts to give away, a pea coat to take to the cleaners, and 30 shirts / jackets / qtr zips / jerseys to sell or give away. And the closet is still crammed.
Plus I sold another pair of sneakers, making the current count 37 pairs of shoes I own, and an even 30 pairs that I've sold in the past couple of years. Sold my adidas Premiers, sneakers I like but rarely get the chance to wear.
