What Fiction are you reading this week, September 1, 2019?
Happy Labor Day weekend
I’m still reading Naked by David Sedaris and just haven’t had time to start anything else. Working the booth at the county fair turned out to be a lot of work and it was so hot, around 95. By the time I got home every day, I just fell right over. I did, though, talk to quite a few Republicans who are really unhappy about what’s going on and this gives me some hope for our future.
So, what are you reading this week?

The Overstory and love the writing and his very subtle plot development. What a masterpiece. I wish I could just sit down and read the whole thing from beginning to end but, alas, there are bottle babies to feed. Some idiot dumped a cat crate with six 2 week old kittens outside the fence surrounding the county animal control facility after hours on a holiday weekend. I took 3 of the kittens and another woman took 3. We shudder to think what happened to the mother cat.
Good on you for serving your party and doing the county fair. Our local party did that in 2018 and, as with yours, it was HOT, miserable, and very hard work. We had lots of catcalls from tRUMPERs and little georgia rednecks (teenagers), but most folks were respectful. We had quite a few folks to come up to our booth to tell us that they were proud to have a Democratic Party presence in this very red part of the state. We have decided not to participate in the county fair this year in favor of a big push next year. Happy to hear that your conversations with the GOPpers gave you an optomistic boost for 2020.
Many thanks for hosting the weekly thread.
Peace out
