Mother's Day Weekend in Lancaster

I went with my mom to Lancaster, Pa., for the weekend. It was very nice! View from the 15th floor (out of 19) We stayed in a hotel directly downtown in Lancaster City. It was expensive, but... that's what we did. So we were "in the heart of the action." My mom and I accidentally dressed exactly the same. She thought this was great; I did not but went along with it.

The general mood in the media and among liberal-leaning people is that we're on the verge of fascism, democracy is dying and America is going to hell in a handbasket. I was watching Bill Maher's show recently (no, I don't agree with him on everything but at least his show tries to be even-handed); both he and guests like Michael Moore have been increasingly "somber," arguing that Trump is likely to stay in office forever and the country will basically be destroyed if more liberals don't get into government. I liked "The Handmaid's Tale," but people now seem to think it's a real cautionary tale for the Trump era, not just a ...
