It’s a crappy day here in the CatBox.  Microsoft updated my Office reinstallation and trashed it.  I tried to repair it for a couple hours, without success, and had to reinstall it from scratch, which took another 90 minutes.  Of course I discovered the problem at bedtime, so I finally got to bed over three hours late.  To make matters worse, Microsoft discontinued OneNote 2016, forcing me to use Windows 10 OneNote.  It will take a lot of getting used to.  I feel exhausted.  I also feel pretty sick.  I’m going to call Megan (PCP) to see what it’s going to take to diagnose this.  Poopy pooped Hugs to all.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>Saying that he was \u201cincredibly moved by their support,\u201d Donald J. Trump said on Monday that fans at Game 5 of the World Series expressed their strong desire to see him locked up in the White House for doing such an excellent job as President.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of nowhere, they just started chanting,\u201d Trump told reporters at the White House. \u201cThey really want to see me locked up for another four years.\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump said that he was surprised by the passionate and urgent nature of the chanting directed toward him. \u201cDespite all the things that the fake media has said about me, these people know what an amazing job I\u2019ve done,\u201d he said. \u201cThey really want to lock me up and never let me go.\u201d <\/p>\n

Noting that the Constitution allows a President to serve only two terms, Trump said, \u201cThat\u2019s a real shame, because the way those people were chanting, I think they\u2019d like to see me locked up for the rest of my life.\u201d <\/p>\n
