Bolton book--long sample online but--
to me his ideas are unpleasant to revolting, but book does give a chronology of events and keen observation.
Will wait till price falls to $5 incld shipping for a used book.

Alarming uptick in corona cases,
Support and understand yr children, don't bad mouth them down like my mother did.
Actually she only verbally abused me, not my siblings.
Yesterday evening on Lafayette Square, near White House--
About sundown, protestors tried to pull down statue
of Andrew Jackson near the entrance. A helicopter flew very low and
police formed a line and pushed protestors out, using pepper spray
balls.
I didn't not go out there and do not go out.
Saw many videos on Twitter.
Trump's secret service asked press to leave WH grounds.
This is not good.

Before and after photos of man who recovered from covid-19
don't get complacent. Don't gamble with yr life and yr loved one's lives.
Don't go out on unnecessary trips, beach is unnecessary.
Hair cut is unnecessary. girl friend, boy friend is unnecessary.
Remember, covid is back on rise esp in USA and China and ppl are still traveling all over.
Asymptomatic people can carry and pass on disease.
Symptoms usually appear 2 weeks after exposure.
Virus
can live on surfaces up to 3 days, ie if you touch something like a
hotel door knob or a desk etc less than 3 days after someone has touched
it, you can get it.
Again,
wear masks and gloves when going out and wash cloth masks each time you
use--sterilize in assigned pot in hot water. Wash hands and wring out
masks when cool, hang to dry in sun by straps. Dispose of disposable
gloves in trash.
Don't be a fool.

Essay collection, Let it Fly with the Flowers--edited by me.
https://www.amazon.com/Let-Fly-Flowers-Institute-Economics/dp/1514616378
Prof. Dr Aye Hlaing
Founder and first Rector, Institute of Economics, Rangoon, Burma.
I am now happily re-typing and editing U Aye Hlaing's Ph.D. dissertation for re-publication.
The pdf of the original typescript is in very bad shape, some of the letters indistinct, and Saya Aye Hlaing said so many important things (about Burma) that deserve to be read by a wider audience.
I am also going to set up a Go Fund Me to finance this project.
Ideally, it needs a custom cover which will cost about USD 500 for -ebook cover + for soft cover book cover wrap.
So please, reach into yr pockets and pledge or send some small amount to me.
The Go Fund Me will be ready in a few days.
You can start by buying some of my previous publications.
Every little bit helps.
Thank you.

Trump's tuba walk across WH lawn after failed rally.
Donald Trump arrived back to the White House with full fanfare after his #TulsaRally
Unbelievable--entire text of John Bolton book leaked online.
I found it on Twitter.
Official book launch is on Tues.
Judge just struck down trump admin request to block it.
Meanwhile,
teenagers caused empty seats at Trump's Tulsa, OK rally by pre-ordering
tickets and then not showing up, some providing fake names and phone #s
so their data could not be mined by trump campaign.
Stay tuned.

Trump fires heads of RFA, RFE etc
I knew it was coming sooner or later, bc he thinks he can "handle" international relations directly.
This is truly a fascist move, just like NW sending 1 tank to Burma Broadcasting Service on March 2, 1962.
Haven't heard of former colleagues at RFA looking for jobs yet, but--
Time to query my Tyranny book.

Special post, Nana Mouskuori sings Va Pensiero in French, Paris Opera House.
The
opulence of the French court always makes my flesh crawl, all based on
oppression and empire, but I would like once in my life to hear/watch an
opera, perhaps The Magic Flute, in that opera house.
Many shots of exterior and interior of Paris Opera House.

Shark attack + Covid-19 It's up to you to keep yourself healthy and alive--
Some off ventilators have still not regained consciousness
Don't
let down your guard and don't go out. We are going to have a 2nd peak,
and the peaks take months to get down, see NY experience.
In
2 weeks, Covid positives from all the thousands of demonstrators will
increase again. New York state has greatly increased testing
facilities--but check testing sites in yr own states.
The bottom line is protect yourself and don't go out unnecessarily.
If
you are "bored" yr "boredom" might be alleviated by being caught in a
violent incident in a demonstration, or having a nasty case of
coronavirus, dying, and not even knowing family members have also
died--and they are all "can't breathe" painful deaths on ventilators.
cheers,

Elementary, my dear Watson--air prices will double if they can only fill 1/3 to 1/2 capacity.
One more reason why academic conferences will move to Zoom for the duration of the pandemic.
