Back home after a week in Yosemite with the family. No radio, no TV, no

computer, no newspapers for a week — it was WONDERFUL.

Seems I didn’t miss much. I vaguely hoped that by the time I got back

Herman Munster & his choirboy pal might have magically disappeared. Nope,

they’re still there, still running for office. Grrrrr. Shoulda stayed in

the woods.

Masses of e-mail, I shall be behind for a month. (As opposed to the usual

fortnight.)
