Light posting - about to head off ot Quantico

No, I am not joining the Marines. But I am teaching a bunch of them.

I am heading off to Quantico Virginia- home of many US Marine bases to teach. I haven't been posting much because a) I've been busy teaching and b) the Impeachment Hearings are fascinating me.

 It is funny. I remember the Watergate hearings. My school classes (I was a Freshman in High School) watched them for the first 3 periods. (We were in California and the timing worked.) We all believed we would never see these again in our lifetime.

Looking back, it is obvious Nixon would be impeached, but watching it live it didn't always feel that way. Like these hearings, the committee was pretty set in its outcome. But the ground, the people's opinion, shifted.

This may not be the same, but watching the shifting opinion about Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, it was very deja vu-ish.
