True Dough's JournalDo you know where your _______ is?
One of the "joys" of married life. My wife likes to move things around. Today's example: I go to the cabinet where we keep the mixing bowls so I can get some batter started for a waffle. No mixing bowls! I know she baked a pie yesterday, so she would have used at least one bowl. But no sign of any of them now -- none in the sink or the dishwasher either.
She left for work before I started digging around for them and I didn't bother calling her to ask where she put them because she's in meetings first thing in the morning.
You know, our kitchen isn't enormous. Average-sized, at best. I poked through various cupboards but couldn't find the damn mixing bowls. Of course I am a man, so I could have been staring right at them and just didn't recognize them in their new setting.
What was wrong with their old location? They'd been there for several months!
Every time she does this, I wind up going to the old spot first anyway. I'm a creature of habit.
The living room furniture is another example. It can't stay in the same place for more than a month, well, maybe six weeks. Then it has to be rearranged. Fortunately I have not yet tumbled onto the bare floor where my comfy recliner used to sit.

Trump is taking defensive measures!
He's going to counter the wire tapping! Smart man! So smart! The smartest! Believe me, no one is smarter than him!
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a frenzy of early-morning activity on Saturday, President Donald J. Trump ordered aides to immediately cover every phone in the White House with tin foil, White House sources confirmed.
According to the sources, Trump contacted staffers Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer at approximately 6 a.m. and instructed them to purchase enough tin foil to cover every phone in the building.
The President, still wearing his bathrobe after what was reportedly a sleepless night, personally supervised the tin-foil installation, sources said.
“Wrap it tighter,” he was heard bellowing at Conway.

Cali Supreme Court rules that elected officials' emails and texts are part of public record
Just wondering if there's anyone here who would argue against this decision, and on what grounds?
"If communications sent through personal accounts were categorically excluded from CPRA, government officials could hide their most sensitive, and potentially damning, discussions in such accounts," Associate Justice Carol Corrigan wrote for the seven-member court.
The ruling came in a lawsuit against the city of San Jose. San Jose City Attorney Richard Doyle said he was not surprised by the decision and did not plan to challenge it. But he said it raised practical challenges for cities and counties.
"The question is how do we access those communications on personal devices without the government being overly intrusive," he said. "I don't expect and intend to have people turn over their phones."

If Sessions resigns, who replaces him?
We're all hoping this will bring down the Trump administration and perhaps it will in due course. But a more likely scenario for now is Sessions steps down in disgrace and then Drumpf brings in another AG.
Don't tell me it will be Rudy Giuliani or Chris Christie. Who are the other likely options?
