The news is about the crash of a container ship into Key Bridge in Baltimore. When we turned on the TV there was lots of coverage with news and pictures.
We have two rooms. I am in the living room. Rick is looking at brochuresn our bedroom.. All the decor is Williamsburg beginning with a poster bed. I’m could not sleep because I was so cold. I put the extra blanket on and my pagammas but still never fell asleep. I want to write Eliza but do not want to write too early because I do not want B to read. She is in a play today and she will speak some of the parts.
On our trip yesterday we heard non stop Michael Smerconish and talk about Trump and politics.
We watch a lot of politics at home. When I did get out of bed I came into this room. I shut the door and read the book I brought. The trial of the century. The story of the Skopes trial and weather Evolution could be taught in public schools. It took place in Dayton Tennessee—-outside. I guess in front of the Courthouse. It was highly publicized because it was the number one topic in the news at that time. The lawyers were both famous old men, Clarence Darrow represents Skopes who was teaching science and included Evolution in his curriculum. Opposing him was William Jennings Bryan who was a former presidential candidate but also a biblical schoolroom in the Presbyterian community. I have not yet reached the chapters that discuss the trial only background information about the famous lawyers.
I am suppose to write 1000 words each day. I do not know how many Imwrote.
