Yesterday, my shoulder was fine in the morning (not unusual) without having had to do anything for it the night before (unusual lately.) I’m not suggesting that will be the new normal -but if it isn’t, I think I now know exactly where to place the TENS pads to help make it so. Also, in the afternoon, my primary ballot came. There’s not much choice on it – the only contested primary is for someone to run against Doug Lamborn, and that’s a lost cause, i fear. However, I will do the due diligence and pick which one I think is the stronger In this district, there’s no point in going for the more progesssive one.

Crooks and Liars – Man Just Sitting Around Randomly Shoots And Kills 8-Year-Old
Quote – The sheriff says the shooter was “probably just methed up and has a history.” Maybe people with a “history” of being methed up shouldn’t have guns.
Click through for details if you can stand them, but the quote basicaly tells the story.
Robert Reich – The Week Ahead: Why everything depends on Liz Cheney
Quote – Cheney’s responsibility this week will be similar to Baker’s 49 years ago — to be the steady voice of non-partisan common sense, helping the nation view the hearings as a search for truth rather than a “witch hunt,” as Trump has characterized them. In many ways, though, Cheney’s role will be far more challenging than Baker’s.
Click through; don’t be put off by the headline. He makes a solid point.I honestly hope she reads this and (whether or not she reads this particular iteration – Carl Bernstein is saying much the same) chooses to live up to it.
