Volunteer workday today. Likely working on further cleanup of the old nursery that went feral. Last week we had an unexpected repair of the archway and sign into Fawn Grove. It fell or was blown over, so needed a quick replace of the cedar supports.

Moving over to the Cardinals and allies today (Cardinalidae Family) with 14 Genera and 52 species - not all present in North America. A wonderfully diverse and colorful family.

Northern Cardinals today - vivid red male and muted female with red fringes. As an aside - when I was taking the Physical Chemistry sequence as an undergrad, Cardinals were my spirit animal that helped deal with the stress of those exams.

Who is more deserving of being locked away for 20 years in a El Salvadorian hard labor prison - the person who painted a swastika on a stainless bulletproof truck or the person who in an unscheduled manner rapidly disassembled an entire nation’s government functionality to direct billions of tax dollars to benefit his many federal contracts while eliminating oversight and regulation of those many Citizens United business’ interests?

Congress MP emphasized that the INDI Alliance aims to protect India's Constitution while accusing the BJP and RSS of seeking its destruction. Rahul

@Mary625 @StevenBeschloss A Federal Election Commission, that would deserve its name, would be capable of ruling, which constitutionally loyal parties are allowed to have its candidates run for public offices, & which anti-constitutional organizations are ineligible to run for public offices due to lack of intention to support & defend the Constitution (, which includes more than the mostly misinterpreted 1st, 2nd & 5th Amendments).
