I was in the dog yard with an Obamite. They tried to get tickets to the Obamachron grandiose opening and failed so they have to go to the overflow on the midway with the ticks. I can talk Trump with them but it's low hanging fruit, and boring. I say I'm not just anti-Obama, I'm anti-oligarch, anti-fascist, anti-genocide, anti-forced displacement, anti-empire. That kind of ends the conversation and I get us hence to visit the little library where I find Jenny Uglow's Nature's Engraver and I make a pickle toasted cheese and listen to the Electronic Intifada for my sanity.
