Driver's Ed

I listened to a very interesting Podcast today on Moyers on Democracy.  The Podcast:  Trump's Grotesque Tulsa Speech and the Cult of Trump.  Bill Moyers talks with journalist Jeff Sharlet, whose reporting for Vanity Fair describes how Trump the orator has turned his re-election campaign into a militant crusade fueled by conspiracy theories and rhetoric that incites violence.

It's very interesting but worth listening to if for no other reason than remaining aware of just what is at stake.

On a lighter note we are dog sitting tonight.  My daughter and her husband took their four girls to the lake for an overnight stay. The girls are 15 now and they will have 4 drivers in another year.  They thought they'd take them down to my other daughter's lake house and teach them how to drive the golf carts.  Ellie is enjoying the company of their two dogs today.  They have played non stop all day and hopefully will sleep all night with little fuss. 

I taught my twins how to drive but I can't imagine teaching quadruplets.  I'd have to be on valium.  I asked my daughter how the girls were doing and she said non of them know where the brake is.  I remember the girls didn't know either.  It always felt like they were turning on two wheels. Scared the life out of me.

Shortly after the girls got their licenses to drive Julie came home from an outing carrying two of the hubcaps from my car.  They were scratched all to heck and when I questioned what had happened she defensively replied, "Well, did you want me to hit the kid on the bike?" at which I responded, "Were those your only two options? You do have a brake!" 

Sometimes payback is fun to watch!
