I find the āright action for the wrong reasonā camp particularly maddening
That congressional inaction (as always now) and our ever lenient and frightened press

Most boomers had some education in journalism and critical thinking, (who/what/where/when/why and how were big in my high school English curriculum), which may be faded memories but can be revived

send them my way, Iām the baby in the boomer wave - really too long to be A generation
I have a lifetime of speaking truth to babysitters, older kids and older siblings, technically all from my age range
ā¦Iād probably start by not correcting but asking where they got such bad information

I am not much on faith, but I have hope and look for signs
This AM I woke to solstice sun at my window, a room cool before heatwave settles, several groups of the Missionaries of Charity, singing prayer, moving just below my bays on their way to quiet battles, and your poem

All of the old B&W š· of lost #SanFrancisco outdoor pools - Sutro and Fleishhacker - and then current outdoor ones in Montreal, Australia, and Scandinavia are particularly galling.
We have near perfect solar scores (for heat).
Theyāre building floating pools on retired barges worldwide
ā¦but not here.

Brandywine? German Pink?
I miss the heat that permits large backyard tomatoes.

Love an abundance of mint and fully expect it to ācreepā into other dishās - grilled meats and tomato dishes, so many salads, pestos/sauces/dips.
My own mint takes a midsummer pause ( itās in my dry bed in the shade, the only way to control it ). But I also have a deck pot.

I had a great pair of silver patent leather slip-on sneakers in my 50ās (by the Greats, an Olympics offering)
I wish Iād bought 4 pairs
I loved them, my patients loved them, my residents loved them
I wore them out and havenāt found a replacement equally loud yet also understated

The courts are consistently bad at medical science in particular - outlawing procedures not results (partial birth abortion), allowing roadblock expenses or waiting periods, letting employer religious beliefs trump patientsā own ( and thus their choices)
Politics beat fact or equity at the bench

So sorry
I had to have some emergency plumbing done during a caregiver respite trip back east 15 months ago
I still think about that day far too often

The 3.5% rule seems to apply to weekend protests (and ideally for more than one day?)
So sadly yes.
And we need to shame the Republican Congress too, the polling numbers on their bill donāt seem to be deterring them.
Hard to keep the message simple when so much is wrong

Iāve been to both Tule Lake and Manzanar here in California where little remains but plaques
Though the topography at Tule Lake does still have hints of the 3500 acres that were farmed to feed the camp - all were auctioned off to returning veterans after WWII.

if you havenāt read The Overstory I highly recommend it
I was lucky enough to grow up along the thin band of the Appalachian Trail skirting NW New Jersey, followed by a decade straddling New Hampshire and Vermont, and now blessed with Californiaās coastal Sequoias; forest bathing feeds me

Like them prepared - in custards, cakes, or ice cream but Iām not a fan of them just off the tree
It a textural thing - like Iām fine with yellow bananas but the really ripe ones are for banana bread only

I wish there was more written on all the EMPTY seats
Or just one article giving crowd estimates (nokings vs. Bone spurs birthday bash)
I know media is scared but let AI photo analysis take the blame

Nowhere near it. Didnāt even hear about it until I got home (thatās how large it was).
We wanted to be nearer to the end. I wanted to get a shot of the crowd with the Ferry Building far off but my iPhone lens wasnāt good enough.
