Stoked in just finding out I was invited to a wedding next year. It’s really good news when your wedding queue outnumbers your funeral queue.

Every time I go to Canada I’m amazed how much cleaner it is than in the States. I asked a local cab driver why that was, & he told me that most areas are street swept 1-3 times a week. There are also recycle & trash cans spaced closely. He closed with, “Canadians proudly take care of their home.”

New York City was already my favorite place to visit in the Continental US before Mamdani became mayor. I’d like to go back sometime during his term to witness how much better it really is myself. The whole city seems like it’s giving off a cool, positive, accepting, and productive community vibe.

50 days until the midterms. The GOP looks weaker as a united front than ever. Don’t forget though, the last time Trump was booted out, he pulled a J6 Insurrection. We have to expect an even more aggressive response from him in the middle of his term as the sitting president. What will it be?
