On my porch with my (indifferent) cat on my lap. I expected to hear car horns honking! For Pete’s sake, I live in Ann Arbor ---

At home on the computer; I wanted to check if my Czech e-mail got any messages, and went on the provider’s homepage, where I saw the news in Czech. I immediately went over to CNN. A historic day. ---

In the meantime, I took one for the team and looked at the ultra right-wing OANN website. “So called hush money trial.” Harumph. A quote from X: “Ray Charles could have seen this one coming.” ---

Just woke up from a nap. Ivy said look at TV. And then "turn it up!’ And then “don’t you get too excited, now.” Then I texted someone “CNN, now!” Opened the Dope and posted. ---
