My sister's drive to work in the San Fernando Valley this morning. There's a storm coming in, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailor take warning.”

Still life with garbage.

I'd add that this is true anywhere, not merely in Chicago.

I've developed a lot of skills in my going on 79 years. The one I'm most adept at today is, apparently, sleep. I share the feedback from my Apple watch and the graphic it produces in my iPhone's Health app to ChatGPT and it analyzes how I slept the previous night. I've become an expert!

She's right. Elon Musk is proof positive that all the money in the world can't buy happiness or contentment. He is clearly a miserable, deeply troubled "man", incapable of empathy or normal human emotion. I suppose that makes him the perfect candidate for the world's first trillionaire.

I believe this will become the defining photograph of the Trump administration. It perfectly illustrates his level of empathy and compassion, which is to say - Zero! At a time when our country needs servant/leaders, we have a useless narcissist incapable of caring about anyone save himself.

If it wasn't for idiots like Bill, imagine how far we would have advanced as a species by now.
