Sunday

Today is Sunday and the day is almost over. We had a very nice and lovely and lazy day.

Around 1 pm we decided that it was time to get up and start to do something worthwhile. So we did. We got up and started to do something worthwhile.

Since Abigail is in Florida we are free to do as we please and boy, don't we ever!

Anyway, we drove out to Manhattan Beach to our "weekend place" and spent a few hours out there. It was sunny and very warm so we took a nice walk out to the beach. The beach was very crowded but we found a nice bench facing the water and sat there for about an hour people watching.

Early evening we went in a nice restaurant and had dinner after which we headed home. Traffic was lighter than usual so getting to our place was pretty easy.

All in all it was a nice and quiet day.

Something else.

Last Wednesday was the first Republican debate for the presidential candidates. It was funny, it was interesting and it was not very informative. Naturally, the star of that show was Donald Trump.

The Donald wasn't holding back. Insulted everybody and anybody within earshot. Didn't give any specifics about anything he was asked about. The following day he insulted one of the reporters who was on the dais.

Commentators said that he probably hurt his chances with that appearance.

Now here is the kicker. He went in with about 24% popularity, the highest between all the declared candidates. The consensus of opinion of the experts was that his rating will definitely drop.

Well, after his newest insult surfaced his popularity rose to 27% against all the others. Today he said he was getting so many telephone calls that they changed his number.

My opinion: the American public is so stupid they might just elect him into the White House. And then he will be the most surprised of them all.
