Lucian get better. I have been introducing friends to your work for years. A woman we know celebrates Jefferson in almost religious tones. I have shared with her your family history.
Trump and the other fascists want to celebrate slavery. They want to return to a total kleptocracy. The wealthy rule from theft of our liberty and theft of our hope.
I mourn Lahaina. I knew it for many of my now seven decades, a place for hippies and art and celebration of the true Hawaiian culture (not Bubba Gump shrimp). So how will it be rebuilt? With wood of course. Because the lumber industry is giant and powerful. Paradise, California, where many died because of the crappy cheap construction of wood framed houses is being rebuilt with crappy cheap construction of wood. A friend of mine has been building houses where pine two by fours are replaced by steel interior girders. The cost is about the same and these houses will last. But in California, and Hawaii, the powerful business interests do not care about we peons dying in houses and buildings that are unsafe and have been known to be unsafe for decades. Look to Europe. Their cities are not burning down.
I remember my family rental in Kailua in the 1960's, as a 115 pound 8th grader I could have kicked the walls in, we sure felt that 52 degree record low in 62 or 63!!!
I've never reviewed a book that was published 45 years ago, but I really liked _Dress Gray_ and want other people to read it so I posted a review on Goodreads. :-) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5758898423
Covid is making it’s rounds again.

Arrgh. You get better, boy.
Yes sir.
I am just starting Full Dress Grey after just completing Army Blue and Dress Grey. Thanks for three terrific reads. I am becoming sleep deprived
Out,
Repatch
I read Dress Grey and have the other 2 coming in soon.
Be well in the care of nurturing mammals.
I’m surprised you did not do the COVID test. I did (negative) a few weeks ago after I developed the symptoms you’ve been experiencing.

Sounds eerily familiar. Just got over covid followed by covid related Pneumonia. Get tested and take the drugs if warranted
Get well quick--miss you.
(I know you’re being provided with the finest human and animal care!)
A summer cold....totally worse than a winter one. Chicken soup won't do it. Feel better soon.
Feel better and get rested. There is a lot of stuff coming down the pike!
Be well!

Glad you re getting good care!
Covid? Take care, feel better soon!
It is always beneficial to be in good hands and paws. Also try chicken soup. (Not kidding.)
