Pretty Easy Task …
"Please put the newspaper back in the right order, Se that the next customer can enjoy it like you.
Thank you"
One of these headlines is not likely to the other two .. and I do not understand why it isn’t at the top in capital letters.
One of my great friends in the world - John from the UK, lives in Oregon with his wife and are visiting Ann’s home county … Maui and right now are at Oceans Vodka waiting for the seats to fill up to hear another great friend - Randall Rospond perform with even more friends - Tom Conway and Rand Coon.

"“At this time, we have no reason to believe that there is any other existing threat out there,” said state police Lt. Col. George Bivens."
Doesn’t sound right to me.
🔗 Stepping Back From the Precipice - Sam Harris
Judging by how much you can read of this before the paywall - I would argue that Sam should make this free for all to read.

📸 🌊 On 🖇️ yesterday’s post I remarked how all the boats had collected in one corner of the bay. In the comments a friend wrote
"The boats are huddled in the corner because the wind is meant to swing around to the east."
.. a ‘sea farers’ explanation - which I kind of had in my head - but when it is so pretty, it is hard to think that it is going to get worse.

He missed? Seriously? One job. That was it.
On the flip side I have lost count of the movies and shows that I have started and stopped this past week. Have I seen them all?
Been listening on and off for a couple of days to Preet talking to Ian Bremmer. Solid.
So wish I was going to be there.
📸 🌊 Quite a few boats in the bay this morning, though funny to see them all huddled together in this corner, they usually spread all over.
There are 56 in the series .. I just counted. There only going to be two more and then the unplanned series that you probably thought was never going to end .. well, it is ending.

"Many of Trump’s most ardent fans and foes alike believe he is the leader of a political movement with a clear and defined set of principles and goals. They disagree only on whether that agenda is good or bad."
