and I saw this
Senator Amy Klobuchar on Twitter: "Watch my entire response to Senator Ted Cruz about the Supreme Court vacancy: https://t.co/HxSCZKHMhR" / Twitter
https://mobile.twitter.com/SenAmyKlobuchar/status/1309605367282839558
It was kinda because of two songs.
This is good sometimes but it stuck in my head too much.

So I found

And that artist retweeted Senator Klobuchar.

I have had a song in my hheheahead
It is
The singer is perturbed and using all caps.
"Cher on Twitter: "Have asthma,I Can Pay4 My Medicine,BUT Trump & NEO-CON HATCHET JUDGE WILL KILL ACA.ACA WILL BE GONE & AMERICANS,WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE ‼️HOW WILL PARENTS CARE 4 YOUNG ADULTS,LITTLE KIDS GRANDPARENTS,WHO HAVE CANCER, DIABETES,HIGH BP,❤️DISEASE,LASTING OF EFFECTS OF COVID COVID" / Twitter

But after a stressful day, partly filled with worry about health, I now wish to cultivate calm, and maybe later try to understand why people use fear of socialism and dedication to very narrow versions of their religious beliefs
to put so many in peril by propping up an untrustworthy, unhealthy, unethical manipulator who has been horrible to women.

Especially because of

But all of it sounds interesting.
Reading about tenacity

I think of these on Saturday nights sometimes

https://variety.com/2020/tv/features/tales-from-the-loop-sci-fi-nathaniel-halpern-1234570010/
Sort of like the grown-up TV show version of The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.
health nature love
keep in mind

This life...and people
Before I type anything else, I wish to say I saw some nice people in the park yesterday and I moved away from them.
They had dogs, they were not socially distancing, not wearing masks, and they were so happy to mingle in a park on a Friday night. One had a tissue and was experiencing allergies or something. Two were black, one man was I believe Indian, and I moved away from these happy people. I did not want to be the standoffish Caucasian, but perhaps I was.
One brought his dog by me after I moved away from them.
"Don't bother her, don't bother her" he said to the dog.
I looked up at him and smiled and said "Hi." He said "Hi" back. I know they were nice people.
But I did not want to mingle like they were mingling.
The group actually moved by me after I moved away. But they were farther away, in the parking lot. Laughing and having a good time. Well maybe they were safe outdoors.
Oh, people.
And I know people were talking a little about a controversial figure at a memorial service...and outdoor restaurant situation. I heard it was a little close for comfort, but people want to gather.
I heard the "nice person" is a nice one.
It may be so.
I want to go to bed now.
I am going to do thaf.

some POVs
are here...

And another POV can be "my relative is very nice."
Person...
Like when you are delivered the news that your partner finds out his relative is related to RBG's .... um .....

You better hurry up; you don't have much time left in this life! You'll be back in another body as a squalling baby before you know it! Those tiny people are going to be decades and decades older when you come back!
None of it makes any sense, really.

Someday I should do something with all my experiences
And not just...gnaw on t-shirts and mess up teeth.
Oh and anxiety in the dental chair is the worst.
People would pay a lot of money to be free of that kind of anxiety.
Wednesday, September 23, 2020
Universe, help me with dental stuff
Need help with the anxiety and having much better experiences...I like communicative doctors.

The husband is a fun office mate.
We watched it that night
The RBG documentary.

She had a cool partner too!
It's like this sometimes
"Man, do you know how great it would be if the guys who got by on toxic learned behavior patterns of bullying and selfishness didn't have so many people (including both men and women) making excuses for them?"

Inside all day watches a bit of TV
The endings of Tsuruko's Tea Journey and Won't You Be My Neighbor.
your vegetable pickers needs
"California farmworkers labor to feed America despite COVID-19, heat, smoke and unsafe air quality - CBS News"
What i saw was beautiful
"Tsuruko’s Tea Journey | by Jean Oshima | Medium"
https://medium.com/@5hearts4u/tsurukos-tea-journey-fea8dcc51515
So maybe I can catch it again sometime.
Revise the approach
After listening to stories about coworkers casual comments regarding things like sexual assault (in the presence of a survivor) and suicide (ditto), society could do better.
For a lot of people, that's not a joke to them, to say the least. Just because you didn't experience it doesn't mean you need to make jokes about it.

MLK is far more inspiring
There is MLK

Return to the more inspirational source...
Beacon Press: Martin Luther King, Jr., "What Is Your Life's Blueprint?"
For the very succinct:
"In October 1967, Martin Luther King, Jr. opened his speech to the students at Philly’s Barratt Junior High School by asking what is in their life’s blueprint. His answer to them is timeless. #MLKDay

That was decadent
Mango and coconut frozen yogurt with strawberries, mango, cheesecake bites, and chamoy sauce....wow!
Had to think about the toppings choices more when it wasn't self serve.

What a reading does to the mind
You feel a change that's not entirely new
With the real things inside
You wonder if it's the energy
of another life ~ actually maybe it's the photo
Someone is in a photo from the past
Someone like an old neighbor
His mental challenges change
how he moves through life
The walks he takes
Make him a fixture and that's when
you find yourself wondering
Does he live in a good place?
One day he seemed to be eight years old
He waved "Bye, Uncle Tommy!"
He saw his uncle?
Was his uncle really there?
Where was he?
Who does he live with?
He's a tall black man
Who takes care of him?
The one who appeared on the day
the day the day the day the day
of marriage "that's your man" he said
He gave good energy
Where did that come from?
He gave instructions
Opening the door,
flowers, a heart with candy
Those are things we should indulge in
And after the pandemic hit
the last time I saw him
before I moved away
we passed on the sidewalk
He stepped aside with delight
Delighting in his own courtesy
At this social distancing time
Which is something that makes you feel very present
And when you say "thank you" and he seems to know
This is a good thing to happen today
Wow, that could be the best moment of your day
How is he blessed in this life?
That stranger, someone who makes me believe
A truly old soul might choose to be born
On purpose into a body
with some mental differences
He has some energy with him
He has at least one angel with him
Maybe a bunch of them
They work together
They make you believe
The heart surpasses the mind
