Barbarians

In the morning drive down to the lagoon before sunrise to put out seed under the Bodhi tree. The food from yesterday was all gone. Several squirrels were waiting for me this morning. Drive home. Do serveral court hearings on the couch over my cell phone. Drive to the jail. Go in for a consultation. Drive out to the House of Correction. Go in for another consultation. At night go to Orangetheory.

The news of the day was the riot at the capitol in Washington D.C. I posted the following on Facebook:

Weakened by plague, endless wars, massive wealth inequality, and incompetent leadership, the unthinkable happened to the Roman Empire: barbarians looted the capitol. Within a few decades everything was lost to the dark ages. Sadly, they didn’t have the Democrats around to fix things. But we do.
