Well ….this time around he got the popular vote.

Which sort of explains the insane lawfare directed at Trump — no one ever considered him a boy scout, it’s not like Trump himself pretended to be anyone but who he was — so, to prop up the very unpopular Biden/Harris, the hunt to throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks took off in earnest with the decades old Stormy Daniels he said/she said tittle tattle.  It was not the court’s finest hour.

If I were a Democrat (my father would be so proud) I would have to ask why there are no other candidates lined up to pick up the Biden pieces as he appears to be  struggling to stay erect these days. O, silly me, I forgot about the first female president of color standing in the wings! Mr Unpopular and Mis Unpopular, side by side!  God help us all!

You don't have to be a Democrat to believe in the rule of law, just an American who believes in our country. Apparently too high a bar for many Republicans.

Memorial Day

Humidity and mild temps (around 70⁰) today with perhaps another shower or two until this afternoon

A second line of heavier showers is forecast to come through the area this afternoon or evening. There is a slight chance of thunder with this afternoon's storms, and gusty winds are not out of the question. There is a very slight chance of hail and high winds.

my “malaise” got  a name today: Covid.

Get the Paxlovid ASAP.  The last time I had it (November 23) was definitely the worst thus far. Regardless of what people say, it's not something to be taken lightly.  

In spite of our countless differences, I wish you a mild case and a speedy recovery.

Thanks all — wasn’t given Paxlovid, but got four prescriptions — antibiotic, prednisone,  benzonatate, plus an inhaler!

When my primary care doctor didn’t return my initial call, and the ENT doctor told me she couldn’t see me until the end of June, and my eye doctor said the nasal spray he had given me a few days earlier couldn’t be the culprit, I will be eternally grateful for Hackensack Meridian urgent care walk-in centers which have popped up all over Ocean County. My neighbor brought me to a center and within an hour, I was examined, diagnosed, reassured, and walked out. The center phoned in my prescriptions and my neighbor brought me home first, and then  picked up my meds and brought the to my house! I love this neighbor!

I think it's darker than that -- he understands perfectly well how trials work, and is purposely undermining trust in our justice system. You know that if he wins a second term, he'll be whining about how all the "criminals" he's having disappeared in the middle of the night have too many rights.

Yes, you are correct. His aim, and the aim of those who work for his candidacy, is to appeal to the ignorance of the voters he is targeting.

I'm sorry you have Covid. I think the rules for Paxlovid have changed so it's not free anymore, but hopefully it is for seniors on Medicaid still. I don't pray, but I wish the best for a full recovery.

Bill Walton was an amazing basketball player, both at UCLA and as a young pro, leading Portland to four straight victories over my 76ers in the 1977 NBA Finals after losing the first two games. That hurt.

Walton was also by all accounts a great guy. A few years ago he graciously posed for a photo with my son and a friend before calling a Pac 12 game. (His garrulous enthusiasm at the mic was a taste I never acquired, but lots of viewers loved him.)

An all-time athlete and character. May he rest in peace and love.

I especially like the crimson clover
