* Donald Trump was out calling for "Second Amendment people" to do political assassinations if Hillary Clinton wins, though it's unclear if he wanted them to assassinate Hillary Clinton or her judicial nominees. This should be no surprise as they have had one of their surrogates out calling for her to be put in front of a firing squad, and rather than distancing themselves, they routinely praise him.

The head of the party of Lincoln in now calling for a president to be assassination.

* Today I got my flu shot for the year. It's a bad one, I can tell. I also ate my first tomato from the garden. It was a largish cherry sized tomato, perfectly ripe and warm from the sun. Tavy's on day three of a tear and has been banned from Squirrel's room for starting too many fights until he mellows out again.

* I wonder how many horses born in the next year or two will be named "Grace's Secret."

* I have still not recovered from that Irish horse somersaulting. Me screaming at the male announcer: Is the horse okay! Stop your jibber jabber and tell me if the horse is okay! (The horse was okay, but it was terrifying.) Luckily the other bad spill was time delayed and the nice female announcer said something like, "We are about to show a fall that just happened. They are BOTH OKAY!" It was still hard to watch, but much easier on my nerves. This is why I'm still watching the Cross country eventing and am not even up to jumping. I keep having to turn it off and go calm down. It's a beautiful sport, but this is a particularly tough course and there are an alarming number of falls and horses crashing into things. I'm a couple hours in and miraculously no people or horses have been hurt so far as the nice female announcer has just reassured me. No, don't tell me how it ended. It may take me a few days, but I'll get there.

Seriously, Equestrian announcers, lead with "They are both okay!"

* Donald Trump is outright lying that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are the co founders of Daesh. He said it repeatedly and clearly with no ambiguity at all.

* This morning, I sprained a lot of the muscles in my back coughing. I keep thinking of the first time my Mother cracked a rib coughing. It was when I was three and a half, and she was bed ridden in her grueling final trimester with my sister. She was dangerously ill. I was in the room taking care of her when it happened. I keep thinking about that, being that ill and miserable with an endangered pregnancy and how much the rib must have hurt on top of all that. She must have been terrified, but she never let me know. Because of the imperiled fetus, she couldn't really be medicated for the pneumonia or the rib. I used to rub topical on her back and service the humidifier and dehumidifier, depending. I'd make her peanut butter or cheese crackers, brought her water or juice, and shadowed her to the bathroom in case she fell. This is why I was drilled so strenuously on when to call 911. This is why I spent my days playing silently on the floor in a darkened room. (My father had to work to cover the medical bills, especially as we'd lost the income from both her jobs. This was the only option we had. He'd come home at night with fruit and bring up dinner and we'd have a bed picnic. I want to be clear I was not traumatized. A little bored from no television and not being able to go out to play with the neighborhood kids, but I was a responsible kid raised in a family where everyone pitched in. This was a thing that needed to be done if I wanted a little brother or sister, and in my family, we always did our part. At the age of three and a half, I didn't understand that pregnancy didn't always work like this; I accepted it as entirely normal).

After that, she cracked a rib or several most years coughing. The last decade, she always had a damaged rib or two as they couldn't heal properly anymore what with the frequency of breakage and the endless cough and battle for air. I am a decade older than she was that first time, and this is not the first time I've hurt myself badly, though my ribs are still intact.

I am lucky. CF killed my Aunt when she was in college. My lungs are way less damaged than my Mother's were at this age, and I am world's ahead of my Mother's Aunts when they were this age. CF carrier sucks. It killed all three of them slowly. It will likely take me. My hope is that I can hold off on the worst of the lung scarring and the broken ribs as long as possible.

I was hoping to GoB tonight, but I had to forage and between the heat and the pain, I think I'm no good company.
