Her name Karin. Spelled with an i and not an e. Sixty two years old. Born and raised in Germany. She has been a U.S. citizen since the days of Obama. She has resided in Key West for many years.

Met Karin yesterday at The Grand’s Happy Hour. We sat next to each other at the bar.

Our conversation interesting.

Karin a chemical engineer. At 62, now retired. A lesbian. Formerly married to a woman. They had two baby girls. Her spouse did the carrying. Both daughters educated and thriving economically today.

One married and has provided her with a granddaughter. The other to be married shortly. She is excited about the soon to be wedding.

I received an education on artificial insemination. I was unaware there are two ways of doing it.

Steve and I always sit together at the bar during Happy Hour. Karin asked if we were “a thing.” Confused me at first. Then understood. First time I have been so accused. I told Steve immediately. He found it amusing also.

Jean and Joe Thornton at The Grand. Great people! They return to Birmingham next Tuesday.

Reilley stopped by for a quick visit yesterday. We are having lunch together tomorrow at Salute’s.

The heat was its usual hot. Repulsive might be the word for it. Too hot every day.

I had to stop at Bank of America before heading to The Grand. Oh, how cool! I had a half hour to kill before Happy Hour. I took a comfortable seat at Bank of America for the half hour. Seemed like the entire staff wanted to help me. I explained to each I was getting out of the heat. Each responded…..Stay!…..Enjoy!…..I did!

Food stamps keep going to the dead as well as living. Via the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Last year alone, 185,986 dead people in 29 States received food stamps.

Social Security could run out in 2032 unless Congress acts. Move your ass Congress! Millions of Americans depend on Social Security.

Is the WNBC ever going to learn? Caitlin Clark saved their butts. Turned professional woman’s basketball into a success in one season. Now opposition to her successful ways is fucking up again. To the League’s detriment. Beware! If Clark ever walks to Europe, the League is dead.

The ceasefire continues to be an ongoing war/no war event. Iran shot down one of our helicopters. Trump has retaliated by bombing Iranian facilities.

Iran is launching missiles at Israel.

In spite of the U.S.’ retaliatory shooting re the helicopter, Trump is consistently sucking up to Iran. He wants the war to end! The only way Trump’s war induced problems will end.

The Daily Beast said correctly: “The only war Trump is wining is the one with us. Trump may not be able to beat Iran, but he sure is kicking the crap out of America.”

Some things that cost $1 in 1940. At a time when the average salary was $25 per week.

One dollar bought 10 loaves of bread, 3 dozen eggs, 4 pounds of bacon, 20 Hershey Bars, 20 bottles of Coca-Cola, 4 pounds of coffee, 6 gallons of gasoline, 23 first class stamps, and 1 pair of silk stockings.

Trump said on Meet the Press that gasoline prices would drop when the Iran War ended. Good luck! Not swiftly. It will take a year or better.

James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., was arrested in London.

A number of women go panty less under their skirts. The number is growing.

Trump got his come up ins in New York City Monday night: “New York hates you” and booing during the Star Spangled Banner.

Trump over indulged on the goodies in the box and even fell asleep before leaving with seven minutes remaining in the game and its outcome uncertain.

Trump’s border czar Tom Harmon says more ICE agents will be coming to New York City than ever before. It is going to be interesting to see how Mayor Mamdani handles it.

Stephen Colbert’s closing words to Donald Trump appropriate: “Go fuck yourself!”

Wrong to address a President thusly. However in Trump’s case it fits! Deserving!

The Norris family should be returning from Greece any day.

The Dixons are on a boat returning them from Italy to the U.S.

A nurse visiting me this afternoon re my throat. A problem! Local doctors want me to go to Miami for surgery. I am reluctant.

Enjoy your day!
