Let’s All Come Up To Speed

So, why no posts? Basically we are homeless, traveling around the east coast like nomads. Right now, Ed is in the Hudson Valley (New York) at a friend’s house and I am in Hartford (Connecticut) teaching. We are homeless because they are finally fixing our leak and it has completely screwed up our house. We can’t live there. As for how long.... They said 2 weeks, and we all knew it was 3. Then, there was a delay because they would not turn off the air-conditioning because it was hot, and that moved it back a week, which makes 4 weeks, but the 4th week is Thanksgiving, so probably 5 weeks. Yes - that is what we said too.  

Here are some ceiling pictures.


Since the crap has occurred, Ed and I have been on a tour. First we stayed in Port Jervis for a week. Then we drove to North Carolina to stay with Aldona and Joe, but we spend some time in Charlottesville first. I'll post some pics soon, but here is one from the University of Virginia, which Thomas Jefferson designed.


So, another second (or third) thing - the election. For me, it was great to vote Joe Biden as President. I will say it is weird to me that 73 Million people voted FOR Trump, but there is no reason to look a gift horse in the mouth. He’s not President after January. Our elections are really odd in that even after the voting is over, it is a couple of months before the new President takes office. But the Constitution was written when electors had to ride a horse to New York to vote, and then the President had to get to New York (or Philadelphia) to be sworn in.

In typical Trump fashion, he is still causing issues, changing the heads of the Pentagon, leasing more of our wildlife refuges, ignoring Covid. But, it will be done soon.

And posting may be more error prone than usual because I have to do this on my iPad.,
