it was a chores and errand running day. in the morning it was the post office, three orders picked up. dropped off recycle near the capitol and printed two event tickets at the copy store. then i went home and had lunch as it was midday. i laid down for a little while as i was tired and i also watched some of a WNBA game on TV, new york beat chicago. i also waited out the rain, then went out again to donate another box to goodwill. there was a long wait, i was the sixth car in line, so i parked and went to the other side and handed off the box. i told the attendant that i didn't feel like waiting. then i went to walmart to get shoes and bought a small pack of baseball cards. they were discounted, a year-old edition of topps cards. then i went home and got groceries at aldi. when i turned on the TV for the baseball game on fox there was a special report about an assassination attempt on an ex-president. there was a split screen for a while, then just the news. i correctly guessed the game, which had no sound on during the time there was a split screen, was moved to fox-plus, and it was. the twins were playing the giants on the coast, twins won 4-2. i watched the press conference after the late local news and there was not much information to be given, as expected. it was in pennsylvania, there was spokesmen from the state police and the FBI. a rally attendee was dead, the shooter was dead, the ex-president was whisked away and is fine. much like with 9/11, i didn't want to keep watching the news after finding out what had happened as i still had other things to do. and this is why i switched over to the baseball game. during my walks i found 25 cents.
