The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.
There has always been an undercurrent against #ChristopherColumbus and lately I have seen more protest about removing his statues too. There have been comments on Facebook about getting rid of the one in Peoria’s Bradley park.

The installers for the new #GarageDoor opener were an hour late. No phone call either. Not a good start. They were a cheerful couple of young men but not too so good at customer service.
I had hoped they would set up the wi-fi and the car remote but they said I could do that. I didn’t make an issue of it but for the price of installation it would have been nice if I didn’t have to climb a ladder to set up the remote controls in the two cars.
I will get it all working but I think they should have done that. Good thing I am not a complete invalid or I would be in trouble.

“Great Crowd! Great Turnout!”
I have no idea what he said after that. I turned the TV off.

#TerryPratchett’s style of writing wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea but I enjoy reading him now and again.
