F*ck the fanatics on the US Supreme Court. With a rusty coat-hanger.

Other than that it wasn't a particularly bad week. I brought the Cassio keyboard down to Seattle, and it helped when Kaleidofolk had their second band practice Friday. I spent a lot of the week listening to music on YT and going down related rabbit-holes on Wikipedia.
