!. Today a young man I know made a change in the direction of life. He has shelter instead of the street.
Tonight the same young man spoke up at the City Council meeting in favor of a proposal for an emergency warming overnight center.
The council voted to allow the warming center a 1 year trial.

Tomato plants are happy and growing up
Coneflower and Indian Blanket plants have a few flowers
Zero mosquito bites so far.
I seem to have lost the plot about pundits and how the world works. I read the daily posting of Mike the Mad Biologist. Have for years. I do not understand why he contiues to link to substack authors. For the most part I refuse to read anything published at "the old nazi bar"™. Installed Kill Yr Substack browser extension the other day so... what the hell I go read a post by Judd Legum about how Coachella performers are funding the MAGA movement. ON SUBSTACK. Do you think his pulling my leg? Wonder what he's doing? Takes one to know one?
I'm old, world has changed... but what passes for punditry these days is messed up. Maybe the scales have fallen from my eyes.

Today was a chance to spend a few hours on my bike. No need to think about all the bad stuff for a bit.
Great weather.
A chance to ride my bike.
Doughnuts!
