…Sithula Omatthage, 9, insisted on laying a floral tribute at the gates of Green Park. He had written his own note…: “Dear Queen Elizabeth, I didn’t want you to die. I wanted you to be the world’s oldest woman.” “Children in these times have never had a king,” he said firmly. “I prefer a queen.”
…I saw some photos of you in Detroit at the auto show. Did you enjoy visiting with Mary Barra & bragging about replacing America’s fleet of cars with EVs? I’m sure she cringed when you said you preferred your Corvette to the Cadillac, because GM won’t have an electric version of that until 2025….
…Isn’t it sad that QE2 died? She served an interesting function for the Brits – a steady presence… Did you see that recent photo taken of her as she awaited the arrival of Liz Truss in the drawing room at Balmoral Castle holding her trusty purse? I speculate that her personal kryptonite was in that handbag so she had to keep it at her side at all times….
…It’s too bad that Sen candidate Mandela Barnes (JMB) left the MKE event before you got there & chose to go to Racine where he spoke to the CNH strikers & their families, telling them about his dad from UAW Local 1866. Union members at your event said that as a native of MKE, he’s got the metro area locked up & needs to get out to the rest of the state. I wonder if he’ll head up to Dunbar….
