Sleep more

We last night streamed  Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer on with Colbert.  He was chatty and approachable, was pitching a small new book and carried a copy of the U.S. Constitution in his jacket breast pocket symbolically close to his heart.  Truly an impressive guy with a ready smile.  I hope his judgement is there for a long time. He said it was a (4 times very) bad decision to allow Texas basically ban abortions. 

I have a hard time putting together a good nights sleep for some time.  Often up in the middle of the night I am scrolling thru my phone mindlessly.  Been told that the light emanating from the device is sleep disrupter due to the nature of the color.  Honestly, I think I have an addiction to this device and to the time wasting it causes.  Going to read actual books and turn pages rather than moving my fingers up a screen catching snippets of information that really have no value to me. This lack of sleep is affecting my mental acuity and focus, making far too many mistakes and racing from one thing to another which causes the mistakes.

I find it hard to fathom that Trump is still a big part of the political narrative.  Biden has been the duly elected president for almost a year and the former is holding rallies with his supporters.  If statistics are to be believed, 88% of Republican voters are sure that the election was wrought with fraud and was stolen.  He has spouted that the failed recall attempt in CA was a rigged election.  The media needs to stop covering his speeches, his movements, his golf games and his opinions.  They need to make him a footnote.

We have a day off today and plan to take advantage of the temperate weather for a trip to the Troy Nature Center to look around at the environment and the critters.  I need some new pictures.

all for now

stay safe
