2. Yesterday, I ran across a book in my collection

Yesterday

that I have not browsed in a long time. It is called, "Cut From Plain Cloth." It is about the 2011 uprising in Wisconsin over the abuses of that nasty Scott Walker. My daughter was living there at the time, in a neighborhood that was central to the uprising. We spoke every day and made sure the protesters had the material things we could provide, like water bottles and pizza. That might sound comical, but it is not.

I hope some enterprising soul writes a similar book about this event. We need a record. Of course the Wisconsin book has many pictures.

Little Scotty Walker won nothing but ridicule, whether he knows it or not.
