    that Trump wasn't invited to Cheney's funeral. IIRC he wasn't invited to Bush Sr. or Barbara's funeral either. And honestly I would be surprised if he is invited to the funerals of any other former president or VP.

    funeral I left on the TV but muted the audio, and played a cd called Rachel's The Sea and the Bells.  The music reminds me of the voyage of the ship Demeter that took Dracula from Varna to England.

    Then I trimmed my toenails, which I find is MUCH easier having lost 25 pounds.  Everything is easier.  Here's to losing more weight!

    the first pedicure in my life.  My ancient bones and joints won't allow me to reach my toes.  Weight is not my problem fortunately.

    I thought it sounded like something from the Kama Sutra.

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter

    mixed reviews but I love it.

    One of my favorite Dracula movies and too few have seen it.

    On toenails I've found a good time to trim them is if your feet are up and you can see the light of the tv through one or more.

    But I did not like that Nosferatu remake from I guess it was last year.  I saw it at Brewflix and it was worse than the queso.

    a new policy. the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has reworked its policy to align with the Trump Administration's changing tolerance for hazing and harassment in the U.S. Military.
