Adapting
Maybe it’s because I work from home now, so I no longer have to be out in it, but the afternoon rain has become one of my favorite parts of the day. The clouds come in and a cool breeze kicks up and the rain comes roaring down on all the tin roofs, straight down, like it’s heavier than other rain. I always imagine that the jungle is still covering the Central Valley, or I think of the Ticos in the countryside taking shelter from the aguacero to drink afternoon coffee and watch it come down.

I had, what I considered, a Peter Krupa moment this week when I noticed most news stations were fucking fawning all over Bobby Kennedy since he was killed 40 years ago.
But then it occurred to me: what did he ever do?
The news coverage is especially annoying and absurd when RFK and/or JFK — at best, mediocre and status quo politicians — are grouped in the same “reformer” category as a towering figure like Martin Luther King Jr.
Anyway, this is an interesting and refreshing critique of the myth that Bobby Kennedy was a great champion of the people.

Also, with Hillary out, who are you supporting?
