We are not watching, might catch a round up on the news this evening. It's like the football when the World cup is on, there is a blanket assumption by broadcasters and shops that everyone is hooked on it. Nope.
I struggle with the idea that you should rule a country because you happened to plop out of the right womb. However, as Trump, Putin and many others before have shown us, elected leaders can be problematical and the argument "at least we can vote them out" doesn't hold water if those around them are corrupt enough.

Ouch.Well, I had a hell night. A few weeks ago started having leg pain. After years of not properly stretching before exercise, my leg muscles were too short and so started the first three weeks on (intense) physical therapy. Last night, however, suddenly my calf muscles seized and formed a golf ball sized knot I could not walk or massage out.
According to the doctor, when your muscles seize, all the surrounding muscles will move in tandem and eventually go back to their original state. If the knot isn't removed by the time the surrounding muscles relax, the muscles will tear.
My doctor doesn't know how bad the tearing is because, at present, my calf is swollen to almost the thickness of my quads and he tells me I have six to eight weeks of immobility in my near future.
On the bright side, I finally figured out what to do with all the throw and decorative pillows all over my bed.

Just set a new all time personal record of 498 in one hand of (normal) scrabble (previously 484 which has stood since the 1990's).
It isn't my best all time word score, but is my best digital word score, if that makes sense.

I say normal scrabble because we also have SuperScrabble where games go on for days.
