Well, I'm Irish, so, I MUST keep my distance from stars.

what a beautiful morning.
Hanging out some washing and above me  the baby house martins have fled the nest and their chorus of joyful rapture flying in the morning sun was heavenly to hear  :) :)

yes, actual Irish people despise the habit of Americans calling themselves Irish.

My family emigrated mostly because they were being murdered. There's a monument about that somewhere in... Sligough?

I imagine I share their lead allergy.

Actually, the entire World, including most Americans, hate Americans. Glad I will probably be gone before the SHTF.

I hate to break it to you, but you are American.
Sorry to correct you, but, the only true Americans are NATIVE Americans.

Fortnum & Masons sends me daily emails, usually trying to get me to buy expensive hampers or some such.  Today they wished me a happy independence day.  That's gracious of them.  I don't feel particularly happy about the state of our failed democracy.  We have a despot for a leader.  The legitimacy of his election has been cast into doubt for any number of reasons.  We have gerrymandered districts that ensure the victory of a minority party despite the purported "will of the people."  That's a joke.  And the legislature is so skewed that they have politicized the judiciary to the point where they're simply a puppet of the GOP.  State legislatures continue to pass laws that ensure that women and minorities will not enjoy equal protections.

The ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence have been subverted.  It's a moving document and it would be nice if people were required to read it once a year.

At times, I think we might have been better not seceding.  It might have meant lower shipping charges for tea from the UK, at least.

I would say "original" instead of "true". Just because my people weren't born here, doesn't mean I'm not an "American" (which of course the term applies to anyone from North or South America really).

I don't hate Americans. There are plenty of decent Americans.

I do hate the stupidity that has completely hijacked national discourse.

politician wants tanks rolling like he's Dear Leader or some poo.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

my wifi is choking at two minute intervals. I tried switching which USB port handled the wifi adapter, but looks like I'm bent.

10 has been well derided for handling networking like poo, and I can't say I am surprised. I am however disappointed, consoidering the amount of money I have put into things.

I also caught the Flu, and I had a doctor's appointment today.

I got lucky though, I got the nice, flexible desk lady. Usually I get the madam. She moved my appointment to the first and said I was very considerate to not risk other people's health.

Now I think I'll stare at a wall for an hour.
