And things in the Iraq and Afghanistan are just continuing to fall apart. The decline speeds up.
In Afghanistan there are riots and Kabul is under martial law after a second day of rioting.
In Iraq, there's yet more chaos and the civil war proceeds apace.
One is left to wonder how long the administration will continue to pretend that everything is going just hunky-dory.
On another note, today is the 25th anniversary of the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS. A quarter century we have lived with this disease. Tonight Frontline is doing a special on the epidemic which will air tomorrow. Turn off whatever is on commercial television tonight, leave the Netflix movies for another time and watch this. If you are too young to remember what we've been dealing with for 25 years, then this is history you need. If you had your head in the sand, you need to understand what you missed. If you buried friends, protested for treatment, covered the epidemic or just watched then you already know the history but watch anyway. Frontline, by the way, is on your local PBS station and is some of the best documentary filmmaking available.
On a personal note, things with my new girlfriend have hit a snag. Not a big one. Not a deal breaker, I don't believe but one of those inevitable complications that arise when you take two powerful, intelligent and competent women, toss them together and stir well. We'll work it out, we love one another too much not too.
That's all for today.
Good night and good luck.
