All the News Fit to Print

Scott Wilkinson was still on the Leo Le Port show at twenty to twelve.  Leo was talking about digital projectors and I looked up that topic to remind myself how they work.  There is the new DLP technology with mirrors but most of the time it’s working off a mini LCD screen supported by a powerful light source.  Another informative topic was that people with callouses on their fingers can't use touch screens.  I guess guitar players get those.  But the skin is too dry and won't conduct moisture to "complete the circuit" as Leo says.  I always thought touch screens were heat generated rather than moisture.  Have they solved the problem of constantly getting finger prints on the screen?  Nora came by to mop the floor and complain.  She had me open the shades.  Last night there was some pink powder that fell on the side of the sink cabinet and also on the floor.   

They passed a bill in the California legislature on Friday to move the state primary back to March where it was for a while and for the same reason.  They want to make California more competitive in determining the nominees of the parties.  The only problem is that it didn’t work the other time they tried it.  Also the legislature voted to make California a sanctuary state where the ICE authorities can’t be contacted by local law enforcement to round up minorities who aren’t breaking the law in any major way.    There is still talk about making Daylight Savings time a year round affair.  We talked about this a couple of months ago.

People are bored with my blog entries.  My ratings are about as low as it’s possible to go and the question is how they could possibly be so low on the vast internet.  You’d think that by accident people would tune in and read at least a small portion of my blog.  Of course I haven’t felt like writing anyhow.  I guess I figure that everybody has gotten to the news first because everything happens so fast today with twitter, facebook, and insti-gram.  The latest news is of course is what President Trump is going to do about the latest missile launch by North Korea.  This latest missile that overflew Japan’s air space had the distance to reach Guam, if it had been aimed in that direction.  Tomorrow President Trump speaks before the General Assembly of the UN.  I hope he gets good speech writers.  Trump is so “off the cuff” I think he must write all of his speeches himself.  We have hurricanes in the news with Jose, Lee, and Maria out there.  I guess right now Jose is generating surf along the east coast.  They said that Marie is in the right position to attack the east coast and perhaps even Florida again as the
