View upward at dusk in my garden. The leaves coming out are on the Manitoba maple that I’ve let grow behind my raspberry row; provides morning shade in the summer. It and the Siberian elm I’ve let grow out front by my walk are considered weed trees, but to me, a tree is a tree; we need them all.

I met Richard and Riffat during my SF days, along with her brothers Sukhawat and Shafqat Ali Khan, both singers, the latter who tours all over the world as perhaps *the* standard bearer for their gharana (school/lineage.) Here I am with Shafqat and one of his sons after a concert in Montreal.

All because the WSJ, a paper so far right on its editorial page that Ralph Nader referred to it as “troglodyte”, dared try to inform him how tariffs actually work.
