I might have cared forty years ago. Now, not so much. Set up a section and I promise never to look at it.

Zachary Taylor was a Mexican War hero. He served only about a year, as I recall. Died after a Fourth of July celebration at which he consumed cherries and milk in extreme heat and came down with what was probably cholera. He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James...

Maybe there's no list. Maybe Epstein did commit suicide. Maybe he didn't blackmail anyone. With all that said, he most definitely trafficked young girls who were used by prominent men. That's why Ghislaine is in jail. Those men should join her. This is really an outrage.

I don't believe in conspiracies. But this is a conspiracy.

Going for a swim. Packing later today and running miscellaneous errands. Bought some weed killer and will spray crevices in the patio stones. Hope to spend some time drawing and/or painting.

My good friend took care of her grandchildren last week because their summer camp was on break. In the summer. Good luck with the grandchildren, you will sleep well this week!

Lots of rain so no golf. Going to the gym instead. We have lots to do today to get ready for a big trip we are taking, starting Friday. We are going to a 75th birthday party for a good friend tonight. I'm looking forward to it but my wife, who is social and gregarious, claims not to like...

If there is an afterlife, I think Ol' Jimmy may have a surprise coming to him.

I'm not a good golfer, but at least I have some idea of what I'm supposed to be doing on the golf course. With gardening it's all guesswork.

Got up this morning and deadheaded my hydrangea bushes. Still hate gardening. Then I played nine holes of golf, walking in intense heat. Then lunch with the golf buddies. Now I'm showered and waiting to run a few errands with my wife. I feel like Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles...I'm tired.

After serving as a hatchet man for LBJ, he turned left and kept going.

I guess I don't get it. I can't see leaving friends, family and the US so you can live more cheaply somewhere far away. Maybe if you really can't afford to live here, but not otherwise. Your mileage may vary, and if you live overseas and like it, God bless you.

I'm anti death penalty, so I'm ok with this. But If I were one of the parents I would want to beat him to death with a baseball bat.

No. But it looks like fun.

I think one is free to fly a flag with a swastika on it, or a hammer and sickle. I frankly don't care how one displays his or her ignorance. I do care about peoples' actions, and neo-Nazis tend to "act out."
