By way of explanation, though not as an excuse, these days just beneath the surface of my skin is so much hate and bile engendered by the Trump years that it takes only a flicker of an eyelash to set me off. Not good. I'll try to argue intelligently instead of emotionally in the future. Will I always succee...
