Thursday December 5

Cold and overcast with a chance of both snow showers and sun over the day. The seed catalogs are coming in and soon I need to make some choices of what to get and where. I have seen some spectacular flowers in those catalogs that have arrived--far more than I have room for. The rosemary cuttings I took about a week ago are still looking good--no wilting or shriveling or other wise giving up the ghost.

Rebecca Gordon on Tomdispatch.com on life at "Trump speed." We stopped viewing and listening to TV news, for the most part, some time ago. We do watch the weather report but most of the rest is fluff or Trump. Neither of which is of much use to us.

John Feffer at Foreign Policy In Focus has a good assessment of #45's performance at the G20. Not good.

This sounds all too familiar.
