timely reading update

the stupid radio-controlled clock (thanks, john!) finally reset itself for daylight time this morning ---

in between NPS databases and what not, i've managed some reading, most notably a bio of philip johnson (4.5 stars at least), a history of hispanic america (4 stars), and a history of this country since 1974 (meh)

affluently handicapped, semi-closeted and semi-whorish, and a serious fascist --- that aspect of him is really shocking --- also too, dickish on occasion --- a good read, all in all

better than this, which gives a decent synopsis of those years but not a lot else, although i don't know what i might have expected

trump's border wall and all of the other immigration nonsense looks a lot different if you know this history
