Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night — nor the actions of a dermatologist — stays this dog servant from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
When Queen Dharma wants her deck escort, I’m there for it. Couldn’t this be a side hustle?
Happy Flag Day!
Today is the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777. It’s also the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and I’ll be watching live coverage of the celebration and parade in Washington, D.C. I saw Delaware Valley Intelligence Center’s threat assessment and according to it, the risk priority in most categories is HIGH. Even if I lived close, I would likely still not attend in person.
I’ll also be tuning in off and on to watch the protestors who are missing the parade to take part in “No Kings.” The ‘No Kings” events are to “show the world what democracy really looks like.” If that’s truly the goal, we should expect to only see our grand stars and stripes proudly flying on Flag Day here in the U.S.A.
Wouldn’t it be great if both the protests and the celebration are peaceful?
Rain yesterday; rain today; and rain for the next who knows how long.
I was happy to finish up the yard mowing job before the rain started yesterday. Who knows how long it will be before I can face death and property destruction again while driving a zero turn mower I didn’t want in the first place.
When the weather is yucky outside, at least I can clean house inside. My granddaughter will be here this upcoming week and I’m willing to bet she’ll be the first to hit the pool this season. Although it’s still too cold for me, she’s a kid that doesn’t notice she’s half frozen until she turns blue.
Now you know: Clarence King, discoverer of Mount Whitney and one of the USA’s best-known scientists, revealed on his deathbed in 1901 that he had a second life, wife & five kids, living as a Black man named James Todd.
