I have read several accounts of journalists and bystanders being targeted with rubber bullets.

BRAVO! This is huge! In ruling in favor of Governor Newsom, Judge Breyer said the protesting in Los Angeles falls "far short" of the "rebellion" Trump described to justify calling in the troops, and said Trump's use of the military over the actions of "stray bad actors" was "untenable and dangerous."

Phew, it's been a busy and somewhat troubled haphazard couple of days. Now I'm trying to wind down (not the best way to do it, checking my credit card and bank statements. OUCH.)
BUT at least I finished my two complete backups.

Okay, one backup finished and now that drive is full. Tomorrow I have to do the second backup.

Have I mentioned before, excuse me if I have, that for years hubby and I have used the expression 'an SDLE' for a certain visit to the toilet.
I need an SDLE means, a "sit down lavatorial experience" and saves a lot of beating around the bush.
But I cannot remember who used it... it was a male comedian we watched on TV but now I don't know who.
I don't suppose anyone remembers??

I am too hot here in the house, and if I open the windows, I get wasps, flies, and biting insects.
So it's the fans I depend on, but even they are not enough today. Is it hot where you live?

It's the dreaded backup day, and now I do two complete backups, having learned the hard way not to trust to one after my only backup died leaving me bereft.
So, two complete backups, and it will take all day, as I have a 5TB laptop.
Thankfully I have the Tablet so I can still come here and bother you. Don't think you can get rid of me that easily.
