In all honesty, I could have done without a trip downtown today - in between admin, grad meetings, and catching a flight to London. But it was the time allocated for me for fingerprinting at the Immigration Center - the next step to getting a replacement green card (this one will have an image of me looking like a really depressed criminal on it, I fear) - so I had to go ... It was worth it (apart from the fingerprinting) for a dialogue that took place. They make you turn off your phone completely, so I was reading on a Kindle ...
Guard to me: why so sad?
KF: huh?
Guard: why so sad? You reading ‘bout Boris Johnson?
KF: no! You don’t let people go on line in here - so I’m spared news of him for a bit!
Guard: [points to picture of Trump, and rolls his eyes, and shakes his head]
And it was worth it for this picture, of course, from Wilshire. I'm so sad to be missing the first rain of the season - even though I'll probably curse at it in the UK ...
