Well, that was weird. I received a phone call asking if I would participate in a brief political survey. Having nothing pressing at the moment, I said yes. They read a list of names and asked me which ones I was familiar with. My response was none. The caller seemed surprised and said, 'Are you sure you don't recognize anyone on the list I named? I thought it was strange as well, as I keep up on California politics. Next, they asked if I would vote for the next governor of Colorado, would I vote for a Republican or a Democrat? I said that, since I lived in California, I would not be voting in Colorado at all. Oh, came the reply, I am so sorry to have bothered you.
I am very excited that a week from now I will be hosting overnight two young women who are part of a group of twenty students who are biking from Texas to Alaska to raise money for cancer research. I have not met them, but I am already impressed.
I've added my GoFundMe to my profile here; I don't have enough definite classes for summer (I would have, with the money saved from spring, but now I'm paying student loans plus deductions for taxes this time around...).

Or at least get their telephone codes sorted out ... 🙃
