Sunny today but cool. We are on that spring roller coaster. Had rain again last night. It is really pleasant to see green again--grass, bushes, trees. Even the largest trees are leafing. Those are usually the last to do so. Now to catchup.
I love Carol Michaels' gardeners math. We both here had a bit of a giggle reading it.
Lately we have seen a parade of Republicans shift from Trump critics to Trump supporters--although I have some nasty things I could say about their lack of backbones. One of the latest to do that Republican retreat from principle was Governor Sununu who brazenly admitted the maneuver claiming it wasn't about Trump but about getting a "Republican administration." Robert Reich put it most accurately on his substack blog yesterday: The Party Is Over. Meaning the Republican Party whose luminaries like Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan must be spinning in their graves.
CNN has an interesting story about China's sinking cities. Most of its coastal cities are sinking between 0.1 and 0.5 inches each year. They are experiencing flooding as the sea levels rise at the same time as the land sinks. Some areas where they have been pumping ground water out of aquifers to support their agriculture during recent droughts are sinking at a faster rate. In case you think they are alone the authors note that our eastern cities are in the same situation.
John Michael Greer continued his posts on lenocracy--government by pimps.
