… What did Jill have to say about her visit to KC? Did she enjoy meeting Ari Rodriguez Boog? It looks like Ari’s firm, Archifootprint, is carving out an interesting niche by including attention to the “environmental footprint” in the design of their buildings. I hope that Jill’s visit helped the Latinx community in KC to get excited about BBB….

…We are having one of our blustery fall days which puts my teeth on edge. Have you heard that wind makes us crazy? According to Voltaire the east wind of London created a, “Black melancholy (that) spreads over the whole nation.” …autumn winds in CA have the added fire danger that evokes dread. Wind on a Mon – UGH!…

…Today, I learned about the 140,000 children who have endured one of the most stressful things that can happen in a child’s life, specifically losing a parent to CV. Hearing people claim CV isn’t real exacerbates their trauma. Why do people say that kind of thing?…

…Given the history of corrupt politics in IL are you sure that visiting the construction site of one of your big donors is a good idea? Bob Clark may be an upstanding person, but he builds big, ugly distribution centers on brownfields. In fact, the Republican Steel site where he now has a project was a Superfund site….

…It’s too bad that some of the folks in Howell, MI, yesterday were using profanity to express their dissatisfaction with your presidency, especially given that they were right by a school. My mom always told me that using profanity was an indicator that your vocabulary was limited & you were lazy….

…Please be nice to Rep. Michelle Steel when she calls asking for help with the oil spill in Huntington Beach. Even though she calls herself a “tax fighter,” who plans to vote against the BBB & BIB, the wildlife & delicate marsh habitat need protection.

…I got a smile out of the photos of House Appropriations Chair, Rosa Delauro & her purple hair. I wonder if her hair-do was inspired by the poem, “When I am an Old Woman, I shall Wear Purple.” At 78, she’s not really that old. I am impressed that she has stayed in Congress for 30 years! She must be good at self-care….
