There are people who go about quietly, heroically. Here is one, mentioned in the Weird But True column in today's NY Post: "Felimina Rotundo works 11 hours a day, six days a week at a Buffalo laundromat and says she has no plans to quit working even though she turned 100 two months ago. She started working at 15 during the Great Depression. She works from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. washing clothes and handling dry cleaning at the College Laundry Shoppe. She says she hasn't considered retirement and will continue working as long as her health is good. Rotundo, who hit the century mark in August, says she likes being out and working because it gives her something to do. She says too many people retire too soon. Her advice to her peers: 'Get out and do some work.' Hail, Felimina!
Those who despise the Clintons are hoping her appearance tomorrow before a congressional committee investigating Benghazi reveals a smoking gun. I think they will be disappointed. True, the powers that be may have screwed up the incident very badly, but it will be hard to prove and I doubt any but the most partisan citizens even care about the issue anymore. There is greater hope in that she may be indicted for the email shenanigans, since General Petraeus was for similar, lesser sins, but I would be surprised if she is. The Clinton history is one of survival even against seemingly steep odds. I'd hate to see her skate on the issue, but I would love seeing her routed in the general, which I believe would happen only if Trump is her opponent. I think she would eke out a victory against the rest of the Republican field.
I earned some money accompanying a friend to the dentist this morning, which took the sting out of a session of no book sales. My thanks to our building's stellar porters, Jeff and Pedro, who hoarded about 60 books from people who have moved away.
