Just wrapped up No. 38.
I read "Life Among the Lutherans" by Garrison Keillor.
These are short stories of life among the Lutheran citizens of Mr. Keillor's fictional town of Lake Wobegon. It comes from his Prairie Home Companion show that he use to host on NPR. It really is fun/funny to read about the stoic Scandinavian Lutherans. Of course it probably helps to be a stoic, mostly Scandinavian, Lutheran myself. lol...

I've been very happy with Garrison's remarks about Demented Donald. Now, that he's retired from his show, I think his filters are gone!!

I don't think I have heard much from him about the current cycle. I think he's was suppose to be at a fundraiser here in Rochester this weekend that's just finishing. But after seeing him at the State Fair, I was not about to pay $100 or more to see him at a fundraiser.

WOW
