I am so very sick of him. I disliked him before he got into politics, and now I despise him. The whole political scene is surreal now, like a nightmare one cannot wake up from. Politically, I have a group on Facebook that screens out conservatives, trolls, spammers, etc. It's a really good group, if I say so myself, although the events of this past election cycle have been difficult to deal with. Many progressives are very bitter at Hillary Clinton and colleagues for their unfair treatment of Bernie Sanders. I feel that way and think Sanders should be the new president, and probably would have defeated wutzizname, but bitterness and prolonged anger are not in my nature. I want us to go forward from here with political reforms and Bernie and the rest are still with us. I can out argue conservatives, but it gets tiring and it's not worth it when you know that you can never change their minds, because their cognitive dissonance wouldn't allow it -- so I am networking with liberals and trying to build something productive. I really don't enjoy arguing either. Some people actually do. LOL
I haven't been fishing much these past few years, but I think I can go fishing more this year. I am having spring break (from teaching) next week and we plan to go fishing. I just read your aqueduct report and really liked it. I am tempted to go but the only problem is that my wife will want to keep every striper over 8 inches. LOL I don't know why they have that limit on the aqueduct. We will probably head farther north.
It's good to hear from you, etucker.
