Susan's 366 Project: Day 1856: Black and White

Who is lying?

I will put my money on DT, the incompetent fool, who simply can't keep his mouth shut.

But I am disappointed in Comey who did not have the guts to simply say NO! This is wrong. No one has ever told DT no in his life and that's part of his psychosis.

Perhaps I have idealized Harrison Ford who in Clear and Present Danger told the president who was pressuring him, "I don't dance." I read several perspectives written by women who had been sexually assaulted by their bosses and the behavior was very similar. Frequent flattery followed by subtle threats of loosing a job, a closed door, just a bit of pressure by the most powerful man in the world.

But, Comey is a schemer and his actions have put an interminable spotlight on the topic which is all good. It will take years to investigate and who knows what powerful people will be destroyed in the process. Jeff Sessions is up next and appears in great jeopardy.

Comey knows more than he offered in his public testimony and turned away 13 questions for the closed session. I want to know what he told the Senators. The public has the right to know.

Look at their histories. Who has lied about virtually everything?

I'm not a black and white person, preferring to operate in grays. I see the perspectives of others and very little is clear cut. Not this time! Hopefully, the investigative process will reveal the horrors.

On the personal side, the debate this week has been about black and white or color photos. The determining factor is the retail price of the book. My primary objective is to get the published book into people's hands. That means the book must be accessible so I want to keep the price of a print copy at $20.00. If I included color photos, the price would nearly double. Yes, my beautiful photos will suffer, but it's the stories and information that must take priority. Now I have resubmitted all the photos in black and white. There's no doubt color is better, but I can have more photos if they are B/W. Plus, folks can view the color pictures on the Facebook page.

The other debate is the book size. Should it be 6 by 9 inches or 7 by 10 inches? Eleven point text or twelve? The publisher did mock ups of a 6 by 9 in both 11 and 12 point. If I go with 12 point, the book will be 430 pages long. NOPE! Back to 11 point. Now, he's doing a mock up of a 7 by 10 in 12 point. That decision comes tomorrow and then he can finish formatting the book. Crazy!

Swam my first full mile today for a total of six miles since the season began!

So, will these work in B/W?
