Which reminds me:
Remember my just previous blog, about joining the mailing list notification if Mueller is fired?
Well, I got a phone call from a woman in Antigua, Guatemala. She was the friend of an incredible woman, Mary Lou (I think), who I met on the four-hour van trip from San Miguel de Allende to the Mexico City airport last year. Mary Lou is an American archeologist who rediscovered the ancient jade mines of Guatemala, which were lost in the jungle.
So anyhow. Mary Lou agreed to be on my blog list, and she was forwarding all my blogs to her friend (can't remember her name, sorry), who is an activist. So... Guatemala has a VERY strong activist movement, which forced the impeachment of their President. (Hmmmmmmm...)
Sooooo... Mary Lou's friend wanted to know the technical platform for the Mueller protest campaign so they could do something similar to immediately notify Guatemalans of emergency demonstrations! I directed her to MOVE ON, who I'm sure will give her the wherewithall. Needless to say, I couldn't help her with anything technical.
But my blog helped Guatemalan activists! I'm so proud of myself! As Ai Wei Wei says, "A small act is worth a million thoughts."

Dear Friends: People are asking if they can forward my latest blog. Never ask. Just forward. I'd love to be spread far and wide.
