I’m starting work on a memoir-like writing project, so posting here at Paul’s Thing (and on Facebook and Twitter) may become even more spotty and random than it already is. Just saying.<\/p>\nI’m starting work on a memoir-like writing project, so posting here at Paul’s Thing (and on Facebook and Twitter) may become even more spotty and random than it already is.

In the meantime, a couple of domestic updates:<\/p>\n
The floor of\u00a0the cabinet\u00a0beneath\u00a0the kitchen sink was rotted, so Donna and Polly ripped it out. That, in turn,\u00a0revealed black mold on the concrete floor\u00a0underneath.\u00a0We sprayed bleach on the mold and once things dry out I’ll put in a temporary cabinet floor, but really we need all new kitchen cabinets. Someone’s coming over tomorrow to give us an estimate.<\/p>\n
Our neighborhood association approved our plan for an RV gate alongside the house, so we’ll start work on that soon. Meanwhile, between kitchen cabinets and broken dryers and new tires for the truck, there’s no money left for a motorcycle trailer, which is why we’re building an RV gate in the first place. All the more reason for me to\u00a0do some serious writing and try to earn a buck or two.<\/p>\n
Not going to pile on the lion-killing dentist<\/a>, mainly because everyone is doing it, but also because the dentist\u00a0probably did nothing illegal under existing law, at least in this country. That’s not to say big game trophy hunting\u00a0shouldn’t be illegal. As lions and tigers and elephants and rhinos\u00a0are pushed toward extinction, big game hunting is increasingly seen as evil.\u00a0The USA could easily outlaw it … it’s obvious most citizens\u00a0would support a ban … and then pressure other nations to follow suit. I’d like to see that happen.\u00a0But even if it did, I don’t think\u00a0it would stop big game trophy hunting.<\/p>\n I don’t want to talk about Trump either, but I think I know where he’s most vulnerable, in case any rivals want to poke him where it hurts\u00a0during the upcoming debate. It’s his embarrassment over a failed attempt to\u00a0disguise\u00a0his baldness.<\/p>\n Earlier this week the\u00a0Daily Beast<\/a>\u00a0wrote about Donald and Ivana’s divorce in the early 1990s. In a deposition Ivana said Trump went\u00a0to her plastic surgeon for scalp reduction surgery and was furious over\u00a0the results. Crying \u201cYour fucking doctor has ruined me,” he\u00a0assaulted her, pulled\u00a0fistfuls of\u00a0hair from her scalp, then raped her.<\/p>\n Trump’s attorney reacted angrily\u00a0to the Daily Beast story, issuing\u00a0threats right, left, and center<\/a>. Somehow, though, I don’t think it was the\u00a0allegation of marital rape that had him so worked up (if anything, I think the marital rape story will be seen as a plus by Trump supporters). No, I\u00a0think it was the revelation about\u00a0scalp reduction surgery.<\/p>\n
