My Dear Friend and President, DJT,

 

How are you today? My cold is getting better. I attribute my rapid improvement to the honey that one of my student harvested from the bees in her yard. Have you tried local honey to cure your ills? It works wonders.

It looks like you had fun with the 18,000 people who joined you yesterday at the Toyota Center in Houston. It's too bad that you got mixed up and encouraged folks to vote for Ted Poe who is not running for anything. Oh well, who can keep track of all these races?

It looks like folks around the country are oblivious to the America Water Infrastructure Act you are signing today. Is it one of those pork belly bills? What's in it? All I know is that it's funding 100 water resource projects and will help maintain levees and dams. My garden water comes from a well and my drinking water comes from a new water treatment plant on the Sacramento River. I don't think either of those sources will be affected by this new act so I am not too excited about it. Senators Barasso and Carper had an op-ed piece in USA Today touting the bill as a bipartisan effort, which I AM excited about. Maybe you could say a few more words about the bill when you sign it so we can ALL get excited about it.

I hope you have an enjoyable dinner with your generals tonight. According to CNN many will be retiring in the next few months so you will have to appoint a bunch of new folks for various positions. Army General Vincent Brooks looks like an excellent choice. He graduated from West Point, has a law degree and has led the troops in Korea. He's creative and effective as evidenced by his ability to bring the idea of "Pacific Pathways" to fruition. He's also a trailblazer, being the first African-American to do several things in the Army. I assume he'll be attending tonight's dinner. I'll be eager to hear your thoughts about him.

Please remember war is not the answer. I think those generals have learned that the hard way.

Be well,

RCA
