Good morning! I got back from DC yesterday afternoon, hoping for some quiet time. Instead I found a leaky toilet and a tree service working on the enormous oak in front of my house. The plumber is coming sometime this morning. The tree trimmers kept the larger branches and cut a lot of the smaller ones, sort of thinning out the middle of the tree. This will allow a lot more sunlight to reach the front yard and I may be able to grow something other than hostas.

Reply to doppelganglander in 1: I have been tempted to breed a new variety of hostas unique to the northwest side of Atlanta. I plan to call it Hosta LaVista.

Reply to lucius septimius in 2: I like it, but wouldn't it be northeast? On the northwest side, you could create a new hybrid maize called corn on the Cobb.

The way things are going in the world, I predict an imminent confrontation between the United States and Iran.
At 2 PM Eastern time today, to be precise.

And, the US advances to the Round of 16, with a 1-0 win over Iran. This match seemed at times to be a crossover episode combined with "Ow, My Balls!".

Reply to Occasional Reader in 9: Did the Iran team run into the US locker room and ask for asylum? Wouldn't have surprised me.

Biweekly Torah study by zoom with local Chabad rabbi mentioned an astrophysicist who was at a conference where the speaker was discussing how to get later generations of a multi-generation spacecraft to continue the mission their forefathers started, Someone in the audience said "We should ask the Jews how they have continued their forefathers' mission for 3000 years." "For the ark is hollow, and I have touched the Scroll"
