Whah???? High placers on yesterday's dressage mess up their jumping for one reason or another. Mynduveroan and Glinda Show with a third position. Best outcome for Mynduveroan and Glinda since they have moved up from Beginner Novice to Novice.

There are very few motorcycle riders ride like Ahn Rhee. Circumnavigation of the Black Sea. Trans Russia. Iran. I've ridden with Ahn Rhee in Mongolia, Viet Nam, Ethiopia, southern Africa and Patagonia.

Robust crab apple tree we thought would never make it when we planted it twenty years ago. FeeBee in the background.

I asked TIMDT what her most prominent recollections of the Malibu Interlude were. She replied, "The Getty Villa Museum," and being with our affable hosts.

Q. We are a polite society. Author Gad Saad has coined the term, "suicidal empathy" to describe how our citizens, not wanting to be impolite, allow for bad actors to introduce harmful doctrines into the culture. Saad has said that the progressive diversity cult is killing the West by a thousand cuts.

A. Politeness is a feature of the nation state. Citizens assume good faith on the part of other citizens.

Is this Marine boot camp or soccer training?

Because of earth's fragility and because I am convinced that human consciousness is unique, I believe strongly in Elon Musk's quest to hedge humanity's bets by ensuring humanity thrives off the earth. In the US where the government's impetus to explore space has been flagging in recent years, Musk's quest to seek to populate humans on other planetary bodies represents the revival of a necessary and proper human quest to advance human progress and to secure human consciousness. Periodic visits to the Fossil Butte National Monument timeline fence serve, at least for me, as a necessary reminder of this exigency: Reach for the stars!
