Had a nice early morning swim. Then I spent the rest of the day doing paperwork-type stuff. I am not really on vacation here. So, stuff still has to get done. Investments need monitoring, bills need paying, etc. etc.
Also, I was a little tired and decided that some physical down time was a good idea.
One of my Canadian friends, a man who comes for about a month every fall, arrived yesterday. He lives in Vancouver. He and his wife escaped from East Germany. He reminded me that Hitler did not take over Germany. Hitler was elected, fair and square. Another point he made was that “Walls Don’t Work”. He used himself as proof. And, slightly self serving, he pointed out that walls just insure that the best, strongest, smartest people get in. Sick people can not jump fences, old people will not take the required chances, etc.
Still thinking that the US is becoming the laughing stock of the planet. Oh hell. Oh well.
