April 1

 Well, Happy April Fools' Day and there sure are a lot of fools out there. 

The Indictment dominates the news cycle and I have already heard enough. I was glad when it came down. At least a majority of the members of the grand jury ruled that there was probable cause to believe that The Former Guy committed criminal acts. Now the matter has to go before a court where the issue will be heard in a court and subjected to examination and cross-examination. Now the DA has the harder task of proving the matter beyond reasonable doubt to a jury that has to rule unanimously. We have taken pride for generations that we are a "nation of laws not of men" and that those laws apply to all. It annoys me when some whine that "we have never indicted a President (or ex-President) before. So what. We have been damned lucky given some of the occupants of the White House we have elected. 

Another thing annoys me: most of the pundits focus on the "hush money" payments. Yeah, that is so salacious--paying off a porn star. But those business records aren't the only ones TFG and his people falsified. His organization and the CEO were convicted not long ago of corrupt business practices that involved similar falsifying of records and tax evasion.

As you have probably guessed I have already switched to something else: the Harry Potter marathon on the SyFy channel.

We woke up to severe weather alerts on our phones. Evidently thunderstorms rolled through with the threat of tornadoes. Most of that has passed and we have grey skies with drizzle. And much cooler temps. It was around 65F yesterday but can't be much above 40 now.
