I try to be only dimly aware of the horrors unfolding around the world, otherwise I'll fall into a pit of despair. <br /><br />Some apes in this world already have legal rights--a particularly distasteful one just got elected president of the USA and he's appointing other thug-apes to his cabinet positions. <br /><br />(Actually, my above comment is an insult to apes.

Except for two visits to the Post Office, I was at home either painting cards or baking cookies. Listening to the radio's news reports made for horrible contrasts, but I kept right on listening.<br /><br />I never knew the sources of Paisley designs before.
