Spring in bloom. Choko walked early this morning before the rain. We met several runners practicing on the neighborhood portion of the A. Lincoln half marathon which is now just a week away.

Ah Ha!
Make no mistake, the safety & security of the United States and the American people, has nothing to do with Trump’s ambition to acquire Greenland…
Peel back the onion and you find it’s all about personal enrichment for the billionaires.
Trump, don’t you dare even consider starting a war!

One consequence of this chaotic economy is that I've quickly reduced my credit card purchases and moved to cash.
Mastercard doesn't need my money, and my online purchases (anything non-essential) are near zero.
