Do you ever have a dream that totally conflicts with who you are in real life? Last night I had a dream that I went to a Donald Trump rally. I was enthusiastic about being there. Trump was not there but I told the organizers I had been looking forward to the rally for a long time. I woke up and I was like, WHAT THE…? That is something I would never attend in real life. It astounds me that 43.5 of the American public (credit RealClearPolitics) either don’t realize or don’t care that Donald Trump is batshit crazy. I’m only marginally more of a fan of Hillary than I am of Trump at this point – they’re both members of the “We Should Be In Jail For Perjury Right Now” club – but she has the qualifications and I’ll vote for her to keep Trump out of office if that’s what it takes.
Geez. If the Democrats had nominated Bernie he’d have swept every state except Idaho and West Virginia. Same thing if the Dems replaced Hillary with Joe Biden.
Those of you with iPhone 6’s, might want to hold off on that update to iOS 10. It’s bricking some iPhones. Others (including one I witnessed personally yesterday) find that their battery life has gone to hell in a handbasket and that plugging the phone into a charger actually drains the battery more. I would wait for them to release a fix before proceeding with the new OS.
Time to go to work. Possibly a second post at lunchtime.
