The Peanut Chronicles

Interesting things going on here. First of all, I really am happy that the lady at that shelter responded to my letter. Since she posted the letter on the list serve I have gotten emails and phone calls from several people. One is even a gentleman out of state!! That is a new take on things, don’t you think? Excellent. The ball is really rolling.

Second, and this is ironic because Alito hearing are going on as we speak, on the subway yesterday there was an ad. It said, “Nine months: because that’s how long the US Supreme Court has said it’s legal to have an abortion”. So I think to myself, a Ro V Wade thing… keep abortion legal. I was wrong. Down at the bottom it said, “Abortion: have we gone to far?” After some research at work I found that this is a campaign by a church group in Oakland CA that supports pro-life. It’s interesting because the ads were everywhere in my little liberal area. I am truly and honestly surprised they haven’t’ been vandalized. I also found it funny that the ad was in a subway station in the city next to an ad for a sex toyshop. Ahhh…. Irony.

Going to work on the book now.
