May Cinco
From pinterest.com, attributed to Sheryl Osborne:
Headline from nypost.com: “Retired businessman, 60, who beat stage 4 cancer, joins college football team as freshman walk-on.” Division Three. Still… Good luck, Sir.
From NYP: “In deep water: ‘Muslim only’ event at taxpayer-funded waterpark gets major splash back: ‘Should we expect a Christians only day?’” In Texas, no less. WTF?
Conflicting NYP headlines: “The lesson of NYC crime dropping is that ‘no bail’ is a terrible mistake.” And: “NYC crime plunges — with murders at all-time low — as NYPD boss credits ‘unprecedented’ hiring of more cops.”
Before Trump resumes the bombing of Iran, which may include destruction of infrastructure that will set it back to the stone age, I think he should try arming the Iranian citizen’s opposition. Of course, there is the risk that those guns will someday be turned on us.

Headline from foxnews.com: “Washington Huskies women’s soccer squad falls to U-14 boys in ugly loss.” The score was not released. There have been three similar routs worldwide since 2017. I’ve always wondered what would happen if a WNBA team played a team of high school boys. Many see the soccer results as an argument against trans participation in women’s sports.
Please hurry. From FN: “Gulf states racing to build export routes that bypass the Strait of Hormuz.”
Wow. From FN: “Oil-rich province could hold vote on leaving Canada as early as October.” Alberta. Fossil fuel revenues cover Canada’s national health care, so it is extremely doubtful it will be allowed to happen.
From FN: “Chicago pol says Walgreens should be charged with ‘first-degree corporate abandonment’ over closure over theft.” How ‘bout posting a cop outside the door?
Gorgeous day, perfect for the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to Arkady, who for the second consecutive day delivered a fine cache of books, including the Kama Sutra, which he quipped he didn’t need anymore at his age; and to the young beauty who bought Inferno by Dante Aligheri; and to the woman who insisted on paying for a thriller by Russian detective ace Marinina despite donating another; and to the gentleman who purchased a hardcover in Russian; and to the 71-year-old Polish immigrant who took home English Step by Step with Pictures by Ralph Boggs & Robert Dixson, The Wordwatcher’s Guide to Good Writing and Grammar by Morton S. Freeman, a hardcover Webster’s Dictionary, and Natural Solutions for Cleaning & Wellness: Health Remedies and Green Cleaning Solutions Without Toxins or Chemicals by Halle Cottis. She talked a blue streak for a half hour straight, shocking in her anti-semitic paranoia, which one would never guess in looking at her: five-feet tall, gray-haired, civil demeanor.
