I’ve seen it in relatives too. Most recently my 95-year-old grandmother that passed away. The last time I saw her alive was at Christmas. She confused me for a nephew. I just let her roll with it. She would still exhibit some embarrassment if corrected, so best to maintain the peace in that case. But when it comes to the federal executive branch, sentiment must be pushed aside as national security is in peril. Question is: Who is running the show? Today’s Edith Wilson (aka Jill Biden)? Obama?
I still remember August 1981. I was living in Cle Elum that summer and Yakima hit 100+ some ridiculous number of consecutive days and it was a record streak at the time. Could still be.
