Day 9 of 25 

     Recovery from surgery is rougher than the operation. Today's blog may be tougher than most.  😆 

     Yesterday was the first since Aug. 24 to enjoy most - not all - of my usual diet. I'm very tired, but I'll take you many places. Might even tell you where the name Jimmy Donut comes from. We spent yesterday watching news rather than working my keyboard. 

     Lindsay Chancy's jury in Massachusetts is deadlocked. Tyler Robinson in Utah is charged with the death of Charlie Kirk. He pleaded not guilty. Hollywood has lost 49,000 jobs since 2022. Had no idea. Senator Adam Schiff, a Democratic opponent of the president, tried to impeach him, is joining Trump in efforts to restore Hollywood. 

     Our president wants to bring film and television production back to the U.S. Meanwhile, he is giving sanctions and dropping bombs to those rascals in Iran who don't admit they are defeated. Socialists want to turn America into what? Another North Korea? 

     New York City has some 13,000 illegal aliens. A tropical storm is in Texas, but not as bad as Nepal, or the storm that swept through the Grand Canyon.  

     Okay. When some Christians in Europe and now in America arrive at the 40th day before Pentecost, they fast. That night they use up leftover bread and make donuts, without the hole. Many of us are named for the night before fast, in German - Fastnacht. Our first relative arrived in America in 1750. He and none of my relatives used the first t.
