There were many factors that kept me from posting for the year and a half after moving to Sweden. One was, of course, the predictable shock of moving to another country with another language. But something happened in November of 2016, after I had been in Sweden not even five months.
American non-voters disappointed the world. I am, officially as an ex-pat, a Massachusetts resident, I vote as a Massachusetts resident, and Massachusetts is the bluest state in the USA. Elizabeth Warren is my homegirl.
Needless to say, I have been appalled at what has been happening in the US since last November, and for several month I spent most of my computer time reading the news instead of working on photos for my blog.
So, when I groomed Jacoby at a cat show and had some leftover hair…I decided to use it to make a point. Or something.

The election left most of us equally disappointed, Coco. I voted (all blue!) and stayed up to watch the results come in with mouth agape. This election was a travesty. Clinton can take some comfort that she won the popular vote. We’ve got to get rid of that archaic electoral college! In the meantime, I refuse to call this man President. I still refer to him as The Donald.

I don’t use his name. I tend to call him the “current president” or the “president”

What my human calls him is not repeatable.
