This lead to my starting yesterday clearing off my desk. I actually made a lot of progress, but it was time consuming. And I also made enough time to look up the one of today&#8217;s double bill of short radio operas which is by William Grant Still (it should be very intense.) BTW the other opera on the double bill is &#8220;The Dwarf&#8221; by Alexander Zemlinsky, also from the 20th century. Anyway, I hope you&#8217;ll be kind to any typos today. Oh, I almos00t forgot to say, I did bake a another batch of oatmeal raisin cookies and they came out remarkably well.

It&#8217;s an interview with the DA who tried the case, and the interviewer asked a lot of very good questions which might not have occurred to most people and elicited some answers that were not exactly obvious. If you don&#8217;t have time for ir, that&#8217;s fine. The people who really should be reading it are mostly election workers, whether elected or appointed.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, It does need to be noted.
