 I dreamed an old lady on a bus offered me LSD. I took it of course. My vision of the sunny coastal landscape we were passing through was enhanced.

I chanced this morning on a video about paranormal goings-on at Beachy Head- the landward side of which I can see from our windows. The phenomena include shadow people, white ladies. the sense of being watched and lights manoevering in the sky and rising and descending into the sea. I hadn't known this was happening but I'm not surprised- and that Beachy Head- the highest cliff on this coastline- and a magnet for suicides- should be a place where "the veil is thin".

Someone on Quora offered the opinion that the present occupant of the White House was the handsomest president ever. The opinion is so self-evidently absurd that I assume it was made in bad faith or by a bot. One person who chose to engage said "No, the handsomest president was JFK" and- as I coughed myself to sleep last night- I found myself engaging too. I considered the claims of this man- who was after all, a film star

But decided that handsomeness is not the same thing as good looks or beauty, and that dignity, gravity and presence are also involved, so that my choice finally lit on this fellow- arguably the most gifted individual ever to hold the office.....
