I find myself thinking about TFG. If he had any sense he could have looted his properties and acquired multiple offshore bank accounts, foreign passports, and residences, then just quietly left the US after Biden was sworn in as president, and had no trouble to speak of. I don't think he would have been able to make as good a go of it as King Farouk, but he should have been able to do at least as well as Fulgencio Batista, and way better than Idi Amin. It's hard to make a comparison with Ferdinand Marcos and the Shah of Iran because they died rather soon after fleeing. But they guy is simply an unutterable fool.
With profound relief and a happy dance, I report 7.5 hrs of sleep last night...nearly all of it straight through! Best I've done all Summer...!! Thanks for all the good vibes!!
Sooo, looks like we can make good on our tickets for this evening!

I have been reviewing and making notes of the Lord Dunsany video that I linked to yesterday. I think that I shall for now download with intention to read 1) The Gods of Pagana, 2) The Book of Wonder, and 3) The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories. ---Alan

If only. It's worse than him being a fool. He's a malignant narcissist. He is not ABLE to back down. I suspect he has an undersized amygdala.
