asinine religious (mostly christian) beliefs are given a pass, regardless of their asininity. e.g. the mormons. or how about the laying of hands in the oval office?
asinine beliefs like believing in bigfoot or flat earth, not so much.
Wait, what? Bigfoot is not real? Next, you'll be claiming Nessie doesn't exist.
They'll take my Nessie from my cold, wooly-gloved hands.
It’s not a holiday or observance here, but today is the 60th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Miranda v Arizona. It was the decision that established the legal requirement for police to inform someone they are arresting of their legal rights in the situation. Such as the right to the presence of an attorney, and the right to keep silent.
“Read him his rights” has become a pop culture substitute for “place him under arrest”.
We watch a number of police procedural TV shows which I generally enjoy. But they all seem to frequently rely on suspects making confessions without a lawyer presence. If our teenage daughter is watching with us, I always remind her that if she ever finds herself in any kind of negative interaction with the police, the only thing she should say is “I’d like an attorney present.”
Trump this morning - don't believe the people who told you he had a peace deal with Iran. Quote: "Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!"
No one would know more about being "dishonorable", "not dealing in good faith" and "pathetic" than Donald J Trump.

Still not entirely clear about the risk of storms on Thursday, but here's my best shot
TLDR: Generally nice weather continues this week except for Thursday, which will be hot and maybe stormy
Low tonight around 60
Tomorrow, Wednesday, chance of showers in the afternoon and very slight chance of a thunderstorm, nothing serious though, otherwise cloudy and seasonal, with highs around 80
Wednesday night slight chance of showers, low in the mid 60s
Thursday, chance of showers and breezy, hot with highs near 90. There is also a chance that a warm front cruising through to our north could cause thunderstorms, with a slight chance of high winds and hail. The front though is likely to come through Thurs night, and without the daytime heat the instability will be lower and the risk as well
....and then it gets better...
Friday sun and clouds, lower humidity, high in the low 80s. Friday night mostly clear, low in the lower 60s
The weekend looks lovely, with sunny days, highs in the low 80s, and lows in the mid to low 60s
My friend the Crow, stops by regularly for a cat food snack. As I read about their fondness for shiny objects I tried leaving a key near the dish. So far no interest so I'm looking for something shiny yet safe for him to carry off.
Try wrapping the key in some aluminium foil.
Are there any nearby hardware stores where you can cadge a small sample of a mirror tile to try. Also, see if there are any glass cutting or mirror stores in the area where you might be able to relieve them of a small piece of suitably-blunted-edge mirror. (Tell them you are working on a mosaic and one small sample is all you need.)
