After Connecticut Lynette and folks and I got in a little Queens (including "Benfaremo- The Lemon Ice King Of Corona"), a touch of Manhattan, then Brooklyn and Coney Island, which was new to me - caught the
Coney Island Circus Sideshow and a bunch of rides including the legendary Cyclone and Wonder Wheel. #coneyislandusa

Disgusting derilection of duty; the people have the right to know the justification when so much legal precedent about balnce of power among the three parts of government and what checks to presidentia power if any still exist:

"Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*"

Been spending a week on a lake with Lynette's extended family, working half-days.

Between work shifts and a low level travel anxiety I kind of get... I do think the trick is threading this needle of worry. Be too blasé and nothing gets done, and you could end in a worse situation. Be too anxious and you might end up being unproductive in avoidance strategies and the like, besides being miserable all along.

(Not that we have full control over how anxious we feel, but we do have some... where we direct our attentions to, how we reassure ourselves that resiliency will see us through.)

let's see if your balls feel less clammy... ... they do! they feel fresh

On the cultural evolution of morality and community and why so many people think Trump is good
