My first trip out to the garden since my new heart valve. My son has done an exceptional job of caring for the garden. Today I showed him how to stake and prune tomatoes. I am pretty sure no weed survives more than 24 hrs.

First real tomato sandwich of the season, thanks to our local produce stand's excellent selection of Cherokee Purple tomatoes. Duke's Mayo and Early Riser Sourdough bread. A perfect tomato sandwich.

"As unrest and military troops overtake Los Angeles, terrifying scenes are also unfolding in smaller communities around the country. They, too, are being invaded by what resembles a secret police force, often indistinguishable from random thugs." - Washington Post

The inspector tallied enough violations — a faulty dishwasher, poorly stocked sinks, improperly stored raw meat -to give the club a score of 32 out of 100, one of the lowest ratings earned by any establishment in Somerset County this year. She ordered immediate fixes at Trump National Golf Club. NYT

Canadian public perception of the U.S. hits new low in mid-May, survey found 65 per cent held an “unfavourable” opinion of the U.S., while just 29 per cent had a “favourable” opinion. It's a dramatic shift. Last fall sentiment toward the U.S. was divided roughly 50-50. Toronto Star

The executive order came after Mr. Trump shared a social media post over the weekend that claimed Mr. Biden had been “executed in 2020” & replaced by a robotic clone, following a pattern of suggestions by the president & his allies that Mr. Biden was a mentally incapacitated puppet of his aides -NYT

The tax bill adds trillions to the deficit while cutting important services. It is a lose-lose proposition unless you are rich. It is time to say, "No More Tax Cuts for the Rich."

Planned birthday spectacle is laughably hollow. Even as Trump wants to showcase U.S. military power, he is doing grave damage to the real sources of U.S. strength, including its long-term scientific research investment. Trump is declaring war on science, & the casualty will be the U.S. economy- WP

Press sec. Karoline Leavitt claimed the one beautiful bill causes “the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years with $1.6T in in savings.” She echoed 40 years of GOP claims that the economic growth leads to higher tax revenues, a claim that hasn’t ever been true even by Ronald Reagan in 80s.

From May 2023 through April 2024, they logged 26 days of flooding in Beaufort, 65 days in Carolina Beach and 128 days in Sea Level. Floods, defined as water getting on a nearby road, happened on sunny days, and very few were associated with large storm events. - Gift article. wapo.st/4mWmQr8

"The launch went well enough this time, but while the behemoth was on the edge of space, it lost control, started tumbling and eventually broke apart." '"Or, as SpaceX put it: 'Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly.' The same might be said of Musk himself."- Washington Post
