Cloudy right now but only a small chance of rain. That might change as it has often over the last few days. It is nice and cool outside so I spent a bit of time shifting my patio bucket planters around. Also deciding which I will empty and get rid of. Downsizing is absolutely necessary but not something I really like. It reminds me that I simply don't have the same level of energy any more. With the cooler weather the hibiscus and other surviving plants are perking up.
The CONTRARIAN posted a summary of the most recent economic data--good and not so good. I wonder what kind of jobs numbers will be released Friday especially since Trump has fired the person who released the data he didn't like not long ago and nominated a man to replace her who is unsuitable for many reasons. Another episode in the MAKE AMERICA SAFE FOR MEDIOCRE (MAYBE) WHITE MEN. However, if anyone watched this morning's BBC broadcast they would have heard the report that the U.K. inflation was over 3.5% or more than double our latest figure. Inflation is everywhere so why should we think we are immune.
Simplicius on his post has an assessment of the Oval Office meeting with Trump and the European leaders plus Zelenskyy. He isn't portraying anyone involved in a flattering manner. And the regular media coverages echo his scathing descriptions. For all of the coverage nothing much really happened. But reading Simplicius I had to wonder how long would it be before Europe gives Trump a "middle finger" salute and goes its own way. It is a thought I have often had over the last ten years.
