Here's what bothers me about Biden critics. I believe they are simply promoting themselves in this rather than having a legitimate approach to ensuring Trump does not win. "Biden must step aside" is not a strategy to win. It's just not.

I had my wisdom teeth out that summer. I asked the dentist if my face was black and blue and he said I looked fine. I was disappointed because I wanted my friends to think I had been at the Chicago convention when I went back to school. Yes, that strange I was.

I feel that certain fine points of history aren’t well taught these days. Not that that’s an excuse.

If you’re not old enough to have voted for Hubert Humphrey, you should really go look that up and see what happened.

Even more important, one guy takes advice from people like Pete Buttigieg, and the other from Steve, Bannon and Roger Stone.

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

If postcards seem like a lot of work (lot of space to fill), you can also try letters with an organization that has research to back up effectiveness. Not really a letter, just a couple of sentences. Do both!

There are “no links whatsoever between the offshore wind development activity and especially the humpback whale mortalities. None. Zero.” But oil & gas & shipping interests sure want you to think wind energy is what's killing whales 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/whal...

Since I was in high school, is it no longer true that the person with the best, most cogent arguments wins a debate? (And the loud, flamboyant one wins a reality TV show.)

I have Virginia creeper too, but at least it’s a North American native. So is trumpet vine so I see we called that aggressive, not invasive.🤣

After every rain, I pull Asian bittersweet seedlings from my paths thanks to my neighbor’s vines. 🌱 It’s time for another ninja raid into her woods with a lopper.

My arthritic feet find shoes uncomfortable, especially since the podiatrist said I have to wear orthotics all the time. He said, you wouldn’t take braces off your teeth just to relax would you? Looking back, were times I wanted to though.

I can’t eat hot so I bring my ghost and scorpion peppers to the community fridge. Although once, I brought a bag to a Mexican restaurant and the owner gave me a discount on my dinner.

Newly blooming: viburnum (Brandywine or Winterthur), threadleaf coreopsis, panicle hydrangea “bobo” (mistake, meant to buy a native) and my husband’s hopefully not too invasive Japanese spirea. All very, very thirsty. But watering is reserved for vegetables.

Those are the ones my husband called Asiatic lilies. Not that he knew all that much about plants. I can’t ever keep them alive more than a year or two.
