Suddenly, I have lots of translation work. For a day or two, anyway.

This helped divert my thoughts from the impending verdict in the Chauvin trial. This was of particular interest to me, since my city was likely to burn if the “wrong” decision was made.

But the verdict was just announced. Guilty on all counts. I’m pretty sure at least part of it is unjust, and likely to be overturned on appeal. So I have the uneasy sensation of being relieved, due to what looks like a lynching.

Of this I am ashamed.

I wrote down some thoughts for The American Spectator Online here. They are not happy thoughts. Though some are clever, I think.
