The car started with a jump and I drove to Salvation Army to drop off four bags of used clothes and items I no longer need. The engine fan kept going for hours, which explained why the battery was dead Friday morning. I'll call the MINI specialists at Bay Bridge Bimmers Monday morning. What a pain.
I did clean up my place a bit afterward in preparation for Seth Donnelly's arrival. We hadn't seen each other in two years, so it was wonderful visiting and catching up. We went to Lynn & Lou's for a late brunch. I hadn't been there in many years, but the food is still as fine as ever. We talked about our lives, politics of course, the impending Trump downfall, teaching, kids today versus us in the 80s, Seth's parents (triple star humans), music, and before we knew it Seth had to leave for his next adventure. It was great seeing him.
In the evening, I settled into a documentary Howard saw last night and wanted me to see:
It's a compelling film about Trump ties to Russia and Putin's mission to undermine the American election system and bring a degree of chaos and dissonance, not only to the entire electoral process, but to the population at large in exploiting wedge issues that creates continued division. Very good and in a while a precursor to the Mueller report, which will have plenty of this with more details. 2019 will be a watershed moment in American politics. 2018 will feel tepid in comparison.
