Money to stop windmills, pay people not to work, and monuments to the dictator, but not for the benefit of the public. What a disaster the dictator has wrought. NYT headline:

I think that some of the problems with the dictator and his toadies are resentment of the qualified by the unqualified. The dictator hates Hillary, Barack, and Joe because they were qualified. Hegseth purges qualified generals who know how to run a military, which he does not. NYT headline:

EV sales in the U.S. declined 1.9 % in 2025, in contrast to these countries. Kudos to Norway and Denmark for leading the pack.

Lovely birds. Egrets at our pond in NC piedmont this morning. I have never seen more than one here before. When I sailed near the Thimble Islands in CT there were flocks of them.

New York Times calls the Spokane fire a "natural disaster". I don't think so. The increase in fires, floods, and drought is a human-made disaster, largely caused by burning fossil fuels.
