A friend of mine, a senior like me, sent me this. I thought it was a hoot and I hope you do too!

Bragg and his team have made a new filing detailing Trumps additional gag order violations. Theyre now pointing out that based on the timeframe, some of Trumps offending posts may have been posted from within this courthouse. There are a couple reasons why this is a big deal.
~snip
... by all accounts Trump doesnt type. Instead he reportedly dictates his posts to a guy named Dan Scavino. Trump even recently admitted that Scavino is the only person with full access to Trumps Truth Social account. So if Trumps gag order-violating posts are being made while Trump is at the courthouse, how is that even happening? Are he and Scavino scheduling them the night before?
If so, it sets the stage for the courts to potentially drag Scavino in as a material witness in Trumps gag order violations. Scavino would have to be truthful about how he and Trump have crafted these offending posts, or else Scavino would go down for obstruction.

So its worth watching where Alvin Bragg and his team are going with this. If they can drag in Scavino on this and firmly establish that Trumps offending posts were a strategic decision to try to intimidate the targets, and not merely spontaneous outbursts in frustration, it would go a long way to convincing the judge to indeed lock Trump up during next weeks gag order violation hearing.

This is a pretty ordinary photo, but I've got a good reason to post it tonight . . .
Somehow my Olympus camera had gotten into RAW mode, where I didn't want it. I'm used to jpegs and I wanted to stay with them. But I couldn't figure out how to get back there.
My attempts let to more confusion and strange settings that totally flummoxed me. I thought maybe Gato could help, so I messaged him on Facebook. We tried all kinds of stuff but got nowhere.
Finally I decided to just put the camera settings back to the factory numbers. And then I took a photo to show Gato!
This was that photo. And that's why I wanted to post it tonight--as a thank you to Gato, for his support and cheerful mood. He is a great friend!
for Gato!
