Partly sunny today. Cool but warm enough to go about in jeans and t-shirt. The plants in the garden, for the most part are enjoying the cooler temperatures and the rains we have had. However, a couple aren't so happy with the much cooler overnight temps. The indigo has lost most of its leaves. I have to get off my butt--figuratively speaking--and start checking the seed venders on line. Planning for next season.
Found this on CNN this morning. I am not surprised that China and Russia are touting a "multi-polar" world. That is exactly what has developed over the last 30 years. The dissolution of the Soviet Union around 1990 resulted in a unipolar world which has now turned into the multi-polar world we now have. Most Americans have no little experience of a world in which the U.S. wasn't either one of two or the only big bull in the pasture. The Boomers (including this boomer) grew up in the era in which the U.S. and U.S.S.R. squared off on the world stage and the fall of the second came right in the middle of the two decades that mark the birth of the Millennials. Most of us haven't come to grips with what it means to be part of a world with more than two loci of power. As far as Russia and China wanting a "fairer" world, I have to ask for some clear definition of what that is exactly.

Rain all day. And dealing with the aftermath of a serious leak in our garbage disposal. It is the second we have had but this time the repairman found the source and changed the unit for a new one. But that means we had a mess to clean up and we decided that we might as well clean up and sort out the contents of two other cabinets as well. Over time, we have changed our cooking and we don't need some of the utensils we acquired or we don't use them as frequently. We have two cabinets done and have one more to go. As an old saying goes: clean on spot and suddenly there are more that need cleaning.

Cloudy but not much rain today. Also quite cool--the temperature hasn't passed 60 yet.
Jim Jordan struck out again and with fewer supporters than on the first two failures. The news said he announced that he is no longer a candidate for Speaker. So we have another weekend without a functioning House.
Another of the Former Guy's attorneys has made a plea deal. So the tally is Georgia 3--RICO defendants 0.
Tom Englehardt asks a good question: Are We The Dinosaurs of the 21st Century?
Stray thought on the Hamas assault on Israelis: I wonder if any of the politicos who are insisting that we need to finish THE WALL on the southern border watched the pictures of Hamas fighters blowing holes in the border fence between Gaza and Israel or using bulldozers to break through the barriers?
