On this day Aug 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested after 2 years in hiding.
Not by monsters in uniforms but by neighbors.
Today, governors threaten political enemies with removal.
ICE raids target families.
LGBTQ+ people are banned from bookshelves.
Never again means nothing if you stay silent.

Perhaps they're telling you to get off your ass & pick them! π For years, I blamed the raccoons for knocking all the apples off my 2 apple trees. Then I realised they're Granny Smiths π. I just finished picking the remaining ones & am making cider with the windfalls.

I am blessed beyond measure to be 68 & still have both parents still alive. The reality of our collective mortalness will one day be painfully revealed to me... I'm going to need a lifeboat full of people to remind me that there is still land.

The silver lining to having a very big lifeboat is not having to vote anyone off!!

Neonatology Today
I have to get my writing mojo on... my column for July's edition of Neonatology Today (NeonatologyToday.net) is due. Title: Why are we always The Last to Know? Topic: device design & features (or lack thereof).
Does anyone have pet peeves they'd like to share?

Mary, why am I not surprised to find you in Kari's feed?! Birds of a feather!

It sounds to me like both sides of your family basket are/were full of good eggs. Thanks for sharing. God's grace truly walks amongst us, for He is us, and we are Him. The honey in Heaven is just a little sweeter; the golden streets a bit more lustrous.
My sincere condolences to you and yours.

One can be lean & mean on the outside & still have crunchy blood vessels on the inside. Fact is, tall, short, thick or thin, at 37 C & 100% RH sweat can't evaporate effectively enough to cool the body. Survival time varies, but it is limited to hours, not days.
