It's impossible to avoid the news entirely. People talk about it like they talk about the weather, and it has about the same relevance. Can't do a damn thing about it.
I'm going to try not to give the unfolding catastrophe or comedy any of my attention, or as little as possible. There's nothing I can do about it, and thinking about it is just a waste of time and attention that could be put to more productive uses. When the mid-terms come around, I'll get more engaged. Hopefully up here in New York.
I do care about the weather, since we're going to be on the road tomorrow. Looks like the worst of everything will be to the north and west of us as we start out. We're getting a few flakes here and there this morning, but nothing heavy or steady.
Mitzi stopped by the Toyota dealer in Ithaca after she returned the cargo van and they were able to find the part that holds that plastic piece of the wheel well liner in place. Charged her $3.00 for the part, and nothing for looking at the problem and popping it in. Pretty decent of them, I think.
