Here & There

I don’t believe RFK’s endorsement will help DT. Jr.’s supporters are as way left as he is, so they will probably vote Dem. I wonder if he was motivated to do it because of his anger at his party for not allowing him to challenge Biden and/or Harris for the nomination. And now the race is down to a capitalist and a socialist-perhaps-Marxist.
I’m surprised Taylor Swift was a no-show at the DNC, and I’d be even more surprised if she didn’t endorse Harris.
Headline from nypost.com: “New hope for Alzheimer’s patients? Cancer drug shows ‘high potential’.” It remains my greatest fear and I’m always hopeful of progress on that front.
For those keeping score at home, headline from newsmax.com: “22 Shootings, 6 Homicide Deaths in Chicago During DNC.”
Headline from foxnews.com: “WH lawyers who advised Reagan, Bush endorse Harris over Trump in 2024 showdown.” This suggests they were never Republicans in the first place.
I’ve been working on L-O-V-E for about a month. I’m only taking it to the break. The chords are easy except for one: C Sharp Diminished, which appears only once. It occurred to me to ask Google if there is a substitute. One of the suggestions was A7, an easy chord. I tried it this morning and it sounded fine, at least to my faulty ear. Yay! The most popular version is Nat King Cole’s. I rewrote the fourth line, which baffled me, from “E is even more than anyone that you adore can…” to “E is for even more than I did before.” My apologies to songwriters Milt Gabler & Bert Kaempfert, both of whom have long since passed away, the former in 1980, the latter in 2001.

Another gorgeous, perfect day to do business curbside. My thanks to the woman who, as usual, grossly overcompensated me for a book in Russian, and to the one who bought a paperback in that language; and to those who purchased 3D art; and to Romania born artist Andu, who took home Seal Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper by Howard E. Wasdin & Stephen Templin.
