FB Fights, River Runs Down, but Music Comes Up

Interesting couple of weeks.  I found myself in embroiled in a heated exchange on Facebook with a former in-law who believes black people are genetically less-developed and more prone to violence.  I asked for his sources, and he gave me an author of a badly outdated book, the loud attorney who agreed with him, and horribly biased study by a "racialist" who abuses statistics.  Things got somewhat personal, and it became hard to bite my tongue whenever he posted comments.  Eventually I stopped (even though I still had more to say).  It became apparent he wouldn't listen to ANY kind of reason.  Even his sister (my ex), who I thought might have SOME sense in the matter, seemed to think I was "clueless", giving me the distinct impression that she agreed with his views.  I entreated him to visit with professors of various backgrounds dealing with people, academics who had spent years educating themselves with ALL sides of the issue, then I wrote the guy off.
The river crest was pretty tame this year, which is the best news we could ask for in Spring.  The Sorlie bridge was only closed about a week, and never even flooded.  Just this morning, the Point bridge also opened.  So all avenues to work are back online!  Just a matter of time now before the rest of Spring comes and I can cast off my Winter coat for the season.
I got a new page of Banjo's Tune up.  It's become a habit now to post a page every other week, so expect that. 
Band practice tomorrow (I love being able to say that again), and Open Mic resumes Thursday!
