I'm interested in how folks who attend Trump rallies think, and I don't get much chance to talk to them. These clips are a narrow window into how they see the world. Some of the clips are relatively long because I wanted them to have some context.

    This week I go back to pedestrian subjects such as replacing a built-in microwave oven and difficulties with two California Unemployment web sites. Why are there two? Who the (*&^ knows? COVID19 Social Distancing fun: * See if you can spot where I replaced one word with a similar word and was too lazy to go back and re-record! * See if you can figure out where I went off-script and started ad-libbing! * Go to https://www.patreon.com/SeniorGeek and pledge a couple of bucks a month to keep this thing going! Daddy needs to upgrade his podcasting rig. If for whatever reason you can't do that I completely understand. You can still help by telling all your friends and family about what a great podcast it is. (Worth a shot) If you like the show, please give it a 5 star rating on whatever app or site you use to listen to it. And tell your friends and family about it! Thanks!

    Some stats on the progress of the COVID19 global pandemic and how my state and the Federal government are reacting to it. I read an open letter to President Trump that I doubt he'll ever hear. But you will! I wrote a new fake commercial for this episode. I hope you like it. As usual there's a Dad Joke, Dad's Journal and the Quote of the Week, and Bloopers are back after the closing theme music!
