Thursday--

Very foggy this morning and we got more rain overnight. I will check the gardens a bit later and may water some plants. The monsoonal type rain we got Wednesday didn't touch several of the pots. We may get more rain later today. Hope so.

I wonder if this will affect workers over there as severely as it has workers over here. And think about the problems that come with 56% of the labor force displaced into (mostly) lower paid work.

National Geographic posted this article about the massive effort to save nearly 400k ancient manuscripts from the library of Timbuktu from destruction by jihadis with Al Qaeda in the Maghreb.

I can so thoroughly agree with the sentiment of this post. Our political leaders have lost any sense of decorum or decency and certainly don't know how to either admit defeat or simply being wrong.
