July 1st, 2025. Sad to report the USA's national debt is now above $37 Trillion. Some of us remember when it was a small fraction of that number.
July 5th, 2025. All that remains of my 4th of July red, white, and blue bunting is shown. Got hurried putting in the inner rings, so they didn't last much beyond the parade. The blue died within five miles of starting for home. The rest of the red ring died on the way to the 4th of July fireworks. Next year the goal is to have bunting installed ahead of time so I can enjoy myself at the pre-parade schmooze fest.
June 10th, 2025. Governor Newsom gave a great speech about the situation in Los Angeles.
June 16th, 2025. A couple of months ago Trump got into a foo foo row with Harvard. In an effort to help with the constitutional ignorance he was exhibiting they offered him free access to their course on Constitutional Government. At the same time they offered it everyone else, just in case we needed a refresher. I figured this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to take a Harvard course for nothing. To make a long story short, I just finished the last part.
June 23rd, 2025. Civic Self-respect is my transit read right now.
March 30th, 2025. My daily greens nowadays are mostly chard from my garden. This is by far the best looking plant in the bunch.
March 5th, 2025. Didn't really enjoy Trump's speech. The best part was finding out Representative Green from Texas has the gumption to be thrown out for saying (unintelligible in the broadcast). It's nice to see there is a congresscritter with a Medea Benjamin streak.

an effort to share my search for happiness with other people. It is a large
maze of pictures and words, and if you hunt around you are bound
to find something interesting sooner or later. Click the

June 6th, 2025: Fred's daughter had a memorial garage sale to empty out his apartment to sell it. Having been a friend of his for years I had to stop by. Picked up a laundry drying rack for $2, among other things. When I mentioned I needed quarters for laundry, she sold me the ones she'd gotten so far. Above is the list and the most recent four.
