(Although I remember something? about the second И...; That is a question mark in Attic Greek.

As it turned out, I was detained from the Pi Day Grad Fair event at Drexel so I have not officially visited the campus on student business. (I need to buy the textbooks for my classes next term.)

MEANWHILE, I wrote a letter to my senator and a couple other representatives in Congress about the nasty stuff happening right now on Capitol Hill thanks to the Action Network. They have this handy little copypasta "reject the priorities of the Trump Budget" Website.

"Write a letter NOW to your Senators and Representative that you reject the President's priorities of cutting Medicaid, SNAP, housing, help for people with disabilities, education and job training, social services, and public health programs.

Demand that your representation in Congress fight for fair revenue and the services our nation needs to allow all of us to prosper.

I just sent my letter, you can easily send one here: https://bit.ly/CHNBudgetPetition?source=email&"

But that doesn't work very well if you aren't represented in the US Congress, I understand. What I just displayed will only work for a portion of you, as I know that not everybody I have spoken with in the past is from the US.

What I myself need from the laundry list I just gave are Medicaid, education/job training, and help for people with disabilities. (That probably counts as public health, too.)

I have been counting how many birds we have been getting around here, to report the number has skyrocketed ever since I installed a window feeder by where I read library books to see if they are of any quality and to make sure no patrons have made messes in them, just like the birds used to do on my hair and shoulders. You can't shower the book. They disintegrate in water, so then no one can read them.
Only some books I actually keep a personal copy for myself, and the rest I let lie for later in the year.

I do those Read Harder challenges, but I only actually READ the entertaining books, as I think everyone does. The total slogs which I can't stand are skim-throughs.

Happily, I've been all over last month's Chess Life! My local library just subscribed. My mother told me I needed to start to give lessons. I panicked and reminded her I was not such a good teacher, as I didn't end up with any oboe students either. I remember Jack and his mother tried... it didn't end up so well for either party.

I'm midway through my Complete Works of Horace book! It's pleasing to contemplate. Charles E. Passage is an interesting Classicist! The book's been well-loved, though, it has several marks and etches in it. I think I found them all though. I put my list in the due date pocket, illegible as it may be. (I think 112 is there more than once as well.) Well, I erased on my note the repeat.

But now I am done. It reminded me that SPQR stands for senatus populusque Romanus :DDD Let's return it now! That was fun!

chess, birds, gubernatorial action!, computer, latin, grad, pain, library, russian
