No politics whatsoever in this short talk I gave lately to the #AmericanPrecision #Museum in #Windsor, Vermont. It might offer you a little respite from all the sturm und drang going on outside - and the APM is a truly wonderful organisation. woa-tv.org/special-events/

This is for non-Americans. You may think the Presidential #Election is just between #Trump and #Harris. Not so fast. Look at the choices on our mail-in ballot, which I’ll fill in once I’ve tweeted this. Oliver and Ter Maat? Or Mr/Ms Ayyadurai? Nothing simple in these parts.

Busy day ahead. 1030am in Norfolk, CT, interviewing on stage the great publisher and author #MichaelKorda, then at 430pm in New Marlborough, MA, the equally distinguished Supreme Court writer #LindaGreenhouse. Then a promised good dinner. Late rising on Sunday, with any luck.

This is an incredible ad by The Lincoln Project narrated by Sam Elliott!

My #Hangul is somewhat rusty, but this #Korean edition of my most recent book, just published in #Seoul looks elegant and tempting, so I wish it well in bookstores from #Jeju to the #DMZ, and everywhere in between.

Great advertisements of your book, Knowing What We Know, showing up in Korea for the Korean language edition @simonwwriter
