But it seems every hieroglyph gets whitewashed eventually

Overnight the weather has gone subtropical: I fell asleep after it was light out and even then we lay sweating on top of the covers while the air came in like heat-shimmer through the window fan and the cats tried to melt themselves into the hardwood. I have the blinds drawn; I'm drinking cold water even though it makes my teeth hurt. We need to get our air conditioner out of the storage unit and fast.

The twenty-four-hour news cycle has become more like twenty-four frames per second. Yesterday 45 claimed that "no politician in history has been treated more unfairly" (to which I found myself responding on Facebook, "Definitely not any of the asssassinated Presidents of the United States") while today he invokes witch hunts, of which again there has never been a greater victim than himself. I saw a macro of Joan of Arc last night: "Bitch, please." [edit] Points to the representative from Salem.

Here's what I hope: that Robert Mueller is honest, and good at his job, and has security who are the same.

I'd lend you a cool grey British sky if I could, assuming you don't mind rain.

Rain would be lovely. Last night it was so humid that I thought it might, but it was just suffocating instead.

[edit] It just started raining tonight! Thank you, ashlyme!

The Salem representative made me giggle. Fingers crossed for Mueller.

Thank you.

(Unrelated: I've read so many good things about Kate Tempest. Time to take a listen!)

I think you'd like her! I actually discovered her a few years ago with Brand New Ancients (2013), which I have read but not heard. Let Them Eat Chaos (2016) right now is the other way around.

There has to be a better title than "Rainomancer"! But you're welcome. Thank you for the Tempest recommendations.
