She has succeeded in extinguishing all the wildfires in Northern California and will return to Rolla next week. In the meantime, I will be your interim editor. —Tom 3. THE MISFIT MATHEMATICIAN (Tom's column, http://tomsager.org) CLUELESS IN ASIA Wherever Donald Trump went in Asia, he preached War, while demonstrators demanded Peace. Trump apparently can't understand why a “country of samurai warriors” didn't shoot down a North Korean missile as it flew over Japan. Sounds like Donald's been watching too much television. Maybe some folks would prefer not to have a nuclear war which would likely kill millions, maybe billions. Not surprisingly, the main stream media (liberal and conservative both) played down anti-war protests, if they bothered to mention them at all. Rolla Peace News is distributed by email once a week on Tuesday evenings (except on rare occasions) and is posted on the web at http://tomsager.org (click on Grassroots Rolla: near the top of rightmost column). If you don't wish to get notices of peace events in the Rolla area, let me know and I'll take you off this list. If you want to be added to this list, let me know.
