Yesterday was Sunday, and as usual I went to church. When I came back home, I sat in front of the TV to listen while I read the newspaper. The TV was tuned to Pittsburgh ABC, and I left it there to get some local Pitt news later. Martha Raddatz was anchoring for George, and I listened as she did the normal start to the Sunday show, which is about 10 minutes of negative Trump. Later she invited a panel on the show, of whom I knew none, but I did not care as I was still reading. The discussion started about impeaching Trump and caught my ear. For the next 20 minutes ABC News pondered when the left should start to talk about the upcoming impeachment. There was no discussion of “high crimes and misdemeanors” or any other reason for impeachment. By the way, impeachment means indictment—not conviction and removal. So many are being misled about the left’s intentions because they will not have enough votes in the Senate to convict—the same that happened to Bill Clinton. There was no discussion as to why there would be an impeachment but simply that there would be one and when was the best time for Democrats to talk about it. Mainly, it was discussed that such talk would help or hinder the mid-term elections, and as impeachment was a sure thing that was the only issue. Would talk of it help elect more Democrats or would keeping quiet about it help the election of Democrats?
ROAD RAGE--WHO; ME

With over 2000 miles driven for the past couple of weeks, I have decided to write about “road rage.” As I was thinking about what to write during a short trip to a nearby restaurant for some lunch, I had a small incident on the way home to help me get started. Our university is about to start up for the next term, and there are about thirty thousand students arriving in our city of about thirty thousand. Our number of cars on the road has doubled in one weekend, and traffic is pretty horrible. On the way home from the restaurant, I had to make a left-hand turn at a busy intersection, and as I inched along after waiting through two light changes a large SUV cut in front of me almost hitting my front end and slammed on its brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I then had to hit my brakes to avoid hitting the SUV, which caused the car behind me to do the same. We all lived through it, but I yelled through my windshield at the SUV and called them a bad name. Then I realized that I had just experienced some road rage and, while avoiding an accident caused by an inconsiderate driver, had become inconsiderate for a moment myself.
