Did the WaPo editorial board review this opinion before they ran it on the same day they gushed over Bondi’s battle against “woke” civil rights policies?

Fun waves yesterday in the Gulf of Mexico. Long rides on my old beater SUP. So lucky to live where a 15 minute boat ride can get me to a sandbar where I’m all alone on the wave.

So . . . If, while setting the time on your home alarm, you accidentally trigger a silent medical alert, and they send EMS, maybe this isn’t the best shirt to wear to answer the door. He seemed skeptical.
Don’t forget to reset your clocks.

Found this floating in the channel. Someone actually bought this flag to fly from their boat on the 4th of July! It’s literally . . . Christ . . . On a stick! Jesus died for America, ya’ll!

Work has been nuts. Getting ready for 2 trials. Tons of travel. In the last 14 days I’ve defended expert depositions in New Orleans, Charlotte, Asheville and NYC. Home tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I can take Sunday off to chill. Here’s to a brief respite.

A big thunderstorm rolled through last night and killed the power. Therefore, I am uncertain of what time to set my clocks back. Why can’t they invent some handheld device that always has the correct time? Oh. Wait. Nevermind.

Aaaaargh! I have spent several hours over the course of the weekend replacing vanity lights. Original contractor used whatever scraps they found scattered throughout the trunk of their dumbest apprentice electrician. Hey no big deal, it’s just ELECTRICITY!

How many lawyers does it take to replace a guest bath vanity light? Just 1. However, can anyone guess why I ultimately had to use gloves, kneepads, a bucket, Allen wrenches and pipe wrenches to my tools to finish the job? I will “reply” with the answer later today. I need a drink.

The flight attendant just announced in his British accented English that passengers should store their bags on the side “like a book on a bookshelf.” Getting lots of vacant stares. “Hmmm, book?” “Indeed Sir!”
