Fig tree first crop of the year (breba crop). Planted by our home’s former owner, Angelo, circa 1967; tree went dormant one cold winter and then regenerated in a new spot in our tiny yard and now produces so many figs that we need to give them away/make jam late summer.

clicked on nypost to see what was happening and saw this unfolding scandal, had to double check this was actually nypost and not an onion mirror site.
Headline of New York Post reads: "Rocky Road: Exclusive! Biden 'talking on the quiet car,' asking for ice cream on Amtrak rides to DC office"

Super exciting to run by the European-style on-sidewalk Coles Street bike lane. Let’s get this going on JFK Blvd, for a north-south bike route. The sidewalks are broad enough and there is little foot traffic other than by a certain school. (And yes I know it’s a county road.)

Epic WaPo style section response to Bezos edict to restrict editorials to “personal liberties and free markets”
Headline reads “why trans people are getting guns” and email line reads “well, hey, here’s a story about personal liberties”

Omg NYT, only head-spinning if you were not already aware that 47 is an op and more aligned with Ru/Pu than our own national interests. Where has *your* head been the past 8 years?
A NYT headline that reads “US and Russia Pursue Partnership in a Head-Spinning Shift in Relations”

Why is NYT making his list for him?

When I survey my MS students on what helps them learn, they say the online district curriculum materials do not: "the wording can trick students' minds," "you can just guess." What helps: book groups, interaction, conferencing. What they want more of: creative projects :) @covingtonedu.bsky.social
