I don't watch soccer. I watched last night. It was people kicking a ball back and forth and falling down a lot.

A tailorbird is a bird known for its remarkable ability to sew leaves together to create a nest. This process involves puncturing the edges of leaves and using plant fibers to stitch them together, creating a sturdy and camouflaged nest that protects the chicks from predators.

A plausible explanation:

I was about ten when they added "under God" to the pledge. I didn't like it then and still don't.

I do love my home town.

It was the 1960s. I worked at this conference. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_H...

It occurs to me that I earned every "entitlement" I receive. Soc Sec: My money, double when self-employed Medicare: My money Other medical help: I took care of myself all my life. Property Tax: A good neighbor for 36 years. Don't tell me I don't deserve a break in my old age.

In 1963 I was stopped on the street by a reporter with a microphone. Him: What should President Kennedy say to President DeGaulle when they meet in France? Me: How about Bonjour? I probably cocked my head when I said it. Today I'd be the Bonjour lady.

Jefferson, Adams and Monroe died on July 4, the first two in 1826. The leader of the regime will give a lengthy speech in 2026 in 107° heat. Dare we hope...

The grand jury indicted the stuck-his-hand-in-the-pool guy. I would bet the house that the regime lied to the grand jury. #IHopeWeFindOut

Goood mornin' all. Going out ~7:30 this morning to get tempting food for LL, who doesn't want to eat and won't take her pill. Then in for the rest of the scorching day #HereNearDC. Wordle 1,840 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This didn't work. I'm back to "These BP meds are making me exhausted" and "I'd kind of like to, you know, breathe while I eat."

Do WH comms have scaffolding on their noses? White House spox Anna Kelly said: “Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged—or will ever engage—in conflicts of interest…. All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.”

This is my new foster kitty Lucky, aka Lucy. Sometimes I just call her LL.

It's going to be 95° to 100° #HereNearDC for days and my ears have decided that air conditioning doesn't just make them hurt when it blows right at me but when the vents are across the room too. Swell.

Gooood mornin' to you. L/L woke me up at 5 wanting to look out the bedroom window. I raised the blinds for her. Just as well, I was dreaming about a woman with carrots growing out of her head. Wordle 1,838 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I've lost the habit of eating eggs; I only use them for cooking. I just ate an egg sandwich and the eggs had no flavor at all. I remember how a fried egg used to taste. This was like eating some kind of inert food. I'm miffed.

Let me get this straight: My stuffed-up nose is vasomotor. It can be caused by Doxazosin or beta blockers or just bad luck. I'm trying to drop Doxa but doc put me on beta blocker so I'm outta luck either way. I just want to breathe without having to force it.

I've never seen Tim Miller look so pained and angry. #deadlinewh

Watching 12 Monkeys, an old TV show. Dr. Railly says "Haiti is dangerous... there are gangs..." I almost cried. Damn the evil 6 to hell.

Summer is a brutal time to hide people in attics but I think we'll have to. Maybe basements are cooler, we could try that instead.

Earlier I was weak, limping and in pain. I opted for a teeny bit of cannabis. Now I can walk normally but my blood pressure is sky-high. Damn, damn, damn.

G'mornin' ev'ybuddy. My smoke alarm went off by mistake. The shrill screaming made me scream back. I beat it to death and pulled out its wires. It's more likely I'd have a stroke or heart attack from the sound than there'd be a real fire. Wordle 1,831 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I'm reading Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. My advice if you prefer not to know exactly how awful broligarchs are is don't read this book. They wouldn't leave the author alone while she was busy trying not to die.
