Yes, I was interviewed yesterday for live local radio - cringe…..On the up side, I did manage not to swear once (unless you consider fart a swear word)....
Denim? Swimming? Running for mayor?

My not political announcement:
If you are in one of the 12 states that has a primary today, please go vote. It does actually matter, particularly for the downballot races. And arguably, those positions make a bigger difference in your daily life, so go do it. -
my random announcement is:
The entire world has every right to look at the United States & laugh.
This entire thing feels like a huge hoax/joke/prank, the candidates, the things they say on purpose in public places . . . . sheesh, we are all f^cked regardless of who wins/losses/can there be a draw.

This is not a political statement either, so please do not take it as one. But to underline @madmonday 's comment above. This from a US politician - just unbelievable….
_"With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have to realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.
"Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services, do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? You’re basically saying you believe in slavery. You’re saying you believe in taking and extracting from another person. Our founding documents were very clear about this. You have a right to pursue happiness but there’s no guarantee of physical comfort. There’s no guarantee of concrete items. In order to give something concrete, you have to take it from someone. So there’s an implied threat of force.
"If I’m a physician in your community and you say you have a right to health care, do you have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That’s ultimately what the right to free health care would be. If you believe in a right to health care, you’re believing in basically the use of force to conscript someone to do your bidding."_
