The "first Thanksgiving"--ancient wrongs

https://time.com/5911943/thanksgiving-wampanoag/ I can never get over that I have only met abt 3-4 Native Americans in my entire nearly 40 years in USA.  One was an artist, one was a delegate in Boulder and one was author Sherman Alexie at a book reading. In my 13 years at Penn, I only met 2 African-Americans. That says it all. km 11-24-2020

Free audio and print books online-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAoUR69gLoM If you click on one, like this audio book of Geronimo's story, Youtube will direct you to a whole line of masterpieces on the R. Try it, titles I have heard include John Wyndham, The Triffids, Chrysalids, HG Wells, War of Worlds, The Egg, etc.  To Kill a Mocking Bird. You can also read masterpieces like The Jungle or Daniel Dafoe's Plague Diary online at Gutenberg Project. Book are getting hard to buy, and now my eyes are going. You can also read a print book you buy and listen to an audio book at the same time, so you get the plot really clear. When I had cable TV, I cld watch say North and South, or Lonesome Dove, while also reading the books, say in same week. Of course this post is meant for ppl who read, or wish to read, or know reading is good. Not for those who say--"Too stressful" "Doer not reader," etc etc. You don't know what you are missing, by not reading

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html As Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations soared across the US , experts warned higher death tolls would soon follow. On Wednesday, there were at least 1,893 American deaths from the virus, according to Johns Hopkins University -- the highest daily death toll the country has seen since early May. Already, more than 241,700 people have died. And with the virus running unabated within US communities, that number will likely only keep climbing. Texas becomes the first US state with more than 1 million Covid-19 infections Another more than 110,000 Americans are projected to lose their lives in just the next two months, according to the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Joe Biden is President Elect, Kamala Harris is first woman and first African American VP--wow https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-biden-election-results-11-07-20/index.html Biden won 4 m more popular votes than trump. The commentators are already talking in past tense of trump. Biden also won 273 of 274 electoral votes.  Trump was stuck at 213. Twitter will probably shut down Trump's acct, through which he hourly and daily disseminated LIES and fomented violence for 4 whole years. I'm going to eat the beef curry I made last night with rice. But we can't let down our guard.  People are celebrating in streets wearing masks but not socially distancing. The nightmare is over. km 11-7-2020
