The Others
We watched this today with YaYa. Lisa and I saw this in the theater back in the day, and it's just as great as I remember it. Well done.

A Discussion on Race with Junie
Junie (on seeing a wanted poster of African-American thieves): Dad, I don't understand. I thought white people did all the bad things.
Me: Every color does good, every color does bad. Where'd you hear that sh**?
Junie: At school. They say we had slaves, and that's why black people have to do stuff so it's our fault.
Me: Who are 'they'?
Junie: My friends.
Me: I know you, and I know your friends. You didn't own no slaves, they didn't pick no cotton. You do right or you do wrong, and it's got jack sh*t to do with people dead and buried. Don't listen to them.
****
There were more questions, and discussion, but it ended when a thief ran out the door with some merchandise, setting off an alarm. A thief, btw, that was not black or white.
On the Riots
Okay, let me get this straight;
9 people shot
5 dead
NOTHING.
Police shoot and kill an armed felon who pointed a STOLEN gun at an officer,
BURNT BUSINESSES and Civil Unrest.
- Carlos, an African-American police officer and friend
What an angel, the prototypical martyr of BLM:
BREAKING: The man shot and killed by a Milwaukee police officer Saturday was charged last year in a shooting and then charged again, with trying to intimidate a witness in that same shooting.

The Polish Birthday Blessing
A few days late - our life is chaotic right now - but I finally got around to Lauren's Polish birthday blessing.

A House Divided
This house is quite divided on the election. One kid (I will protect their identity) is very pro-Trump; Junie is vehemently in the Clinton camp. The other two believe both are bums and not worth arguing about. Lisa is extremely anti-Trump ("Don't make plans for our 20th anniversary until after the election. I'll divorce your ass if you vote for him). whereas I will protect Trump from the machinations of the MSM but have not yet decided if I should vote at all (a first for me). #ElectionYearFun
A Day with Junie and Grandpa
Monday was a tough day. Not without its good, but a tough day all the same. For part of it my #Bookends and I watched my stepfather-in-law. While there, LK talked me into playing Barbie with her.
