Mailboxes on a back road in Princeton, near Half Moon Bay. They caught my eye, standing at attention like that. There was probably a fight - one of them lost its head - and the drill sargent is getting ready to chew them out.
That is all.

This week I've been mainly been reading, no. 193.
For a book group I've just read Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers (2018) & while I enjoyed the plot & structure, it is rather over-written (or almost baroque in its expression). I guess I'm now so used to much sparser style of writing that I found this pretty frustrating to read; I just wanted less exposition. But Moraity has a sure hand on her story & delivers the successive plot developments well, which saves it
When I was eight, my family moved from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, and from the time I entered the third grade, till the moment I graduated the eighth, I attended a rural Mennonite. Mennonites were different from the other Christians I’d known in that they were pacifists. My family came from Protestant and Catholic Irish pioneer stock, so pacifism was not really a familiar concept. If we weren’t drinking, we were fighting, so pacifism didn’t come up a whole hell of a lot.

Hue ! Go ! Demain dès l'aube,

Do read @mmasnick on the rancid hypocrisy of people like Matt Taibbi, who LOVE the blend of government and social media when it's the extremists they support.

Pam Bondi, Trump’s AG pick, said ‘prosecutors will be prosecuted’.
It’s always projection with Trump & Republicans, they falsely claimed Dems weaponized the government, which they did during Trump’s 1st term & will again to a greater extent, in his 2nd term, because of loyalists like Bondi who will succeed, unconstrained this time.

Salut, ça doome ?
De mon côté pami 28 #GoodNews j'ai relevé les migrants appréciés à Los Angeles et en Espagne, le plus grand corail du monde résistant au réchomatique, une taxe danoise sur les flatulences animales, le solaire qui fait pâlir le charbon de jalousie, une forêt faite d'un seul arbre et des croyances erronées sur les comportements humains face aux catastrophes.
Bons appétits !

I've cut back my plastic use by almost 90%, using washable rags, washing brush, cutton bags and glass containers instead of single use plastic, washing sponge and shopping bags.But still have a long way to go.
Since they don't recycle many of these items in France, I shove them in milk bottles before throwing them in the recycle bin.

I've read (and soon about to finish) Russia Silhouettes by Gennady Sosonko. It's a fascinating portrait of some of the best chess players in the USSR that Gennady knew personally or encountered.
Excellent writing and he does make them "come alive". If you like chess, but are not in the mood for something technical, this is a nice option to soak in some chess atmosphere and learn how passionate the masters are about their game.
