Daily Notes- October 9th


Book list of ones I checked out on today's open library visit.  It's so nice to be able to go inside the library and look at books.  Choose new authors.  Choose old favorites.  Fridays will be gone after next week. then I will be able to go to the library on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. Curbside is still available.

The tree guys were all here- every employee it seemed like.  To hold the ropes as they cut down the big trees close to the street and power lines.  THUNK.  The impact of the tall tree trunks as they collided with Earth. Such a deep vibration. The impact if they fell on the power lines would have been amazingly scary.

I think they will be finished today.  All the branches have been chipped and the tree chucks will go to wherever they go to be dried and turned into firewood.

I pinched a blood vessel in my finger.  Left index.  At first it stings.  

Nothing much to write.  The Michigan Governor thing............man how much can we take? Some talking head on the news said that in every instance of a government overthrown by an authoritarian regime.....it was over before the population had a clue.  Could that be us?  

My friend was in Town and the Town office was open so she went in and voted.  She also said a very large box was in the parking lot so people could drive by and drop off ballots without coming inside or going to the post office to mail them.  We have ranked choice voting.  It was a hard sell but...we have it. The Will of the People.  And now the 25th Amendment.  About time.
