Rest in Peace

There's primaries in a bunch of states today, and in Congress there's been a lot of wrangling over bills lately. I hope they can get them done before recess.

The last week of July was rough with several major deaths. Sad to hear about Nichelle Nichols passing, but at least she won't suffer any more from dementia. There had been talk in recent years about legal disputes among her family and caretakers. I think it was last year that I watched the Woman in Motion documentary about her mission to recruit diverse hires for NASA. Black people were skeptical of NASA's sincerity, warning her that "they're using you" for PR, but she said, "I'm using them" to get real change. What a big difference she made!

Meanwhile the heat continues to bear down on us through August.
