Sometimes the kitty boys alarm me by showing unexpected interest in what’s on the television. Here, Dougy is watching  “Morning Joe” and commentary on Trump’s impending announcement on the Paris Accord. 

Andy’s watching me watching him. He seems incredulous. 

The news later in the afternoon, while not totally unexpected, left me stunned: America joins Syria (tied up in its civil war and ISIS intrusions) and Nicaragua (didn’t sign on to the Paris Accord because it is not stringent enough in Nicaragua’s belief!) are the only other nations not signed on to this accord. 

Whatever your political affiliation, this decision transcends politics and puts America on the wrong side of history. I am sad. Very sad.
