Sunday-again

I was born just after the second world war and the stories of the concentration camps and the deaths of millions of Jews. Not so much info about the founding of Israel. I am grateful that my grownups told me those stories and grateful that I was able to raise Amy knowing what happened so that she could not be tempted to believe the fascists who have started to say that the reports are exaggerated or even that there never were any camps. I honestly never thought that they would come out and say that it never happened but I guess I am too trusting.
There is a piece in the Sunday Chronicle about a couple who met after that war and survived the loss of both families and learned to love and laugh again through each other. They witness the power of love and the human spirit in a way the fascists never can with their whining complaints.
I found a wonderful pair of pants for work at Ross for $12.98 and four wash clothes in the sand and fern green towels that I have collected for the bathroom. Soft clean colors. The pants are black with some rayon with polyester and a little stretch stuff. Steve got three mugs in the style we love-one blue two red and this is almost the end of those mugs which have a wonderful balance to them consequently they chip but don't often break.
Ran into my beloved Judy Abel who was on her way to Ross for a gift card for her dnl. Big birthday coming up with the dnl and her snl in Santa Cruz. She and I began working for CCCO in the same hiring group in 9/75. She retired a few years back being older. She was 67 when she headed in. I plan to leave this year although I am so afraid of losing my pension to politics but also afraid of losing my life to the commute.
