Nothing manifests Gavin Newsom’s qualifications for president better than this newsmax.com headline: “California Projects $73B Deficit.” He would be a perfect fit in DC. How sad on National California Day.

Was the disruption in cell service a terror attack? Stay tuned.

Interesting foxnews.com headline regarding Mercedes Benz: “Luxury car maker cites weak demand in decision to cut electric vehicle quota.”

Kudos to Steve Kelly for this boffo cartoon:

I spent most of today’s session of the Anti-inflation Book Shop outside the car, enjoying the mild temperature and schmoozing with passersby. My thanks to the ladies who donated three books each, and to the gentleman who bought five hardcovers in Russian; and to the woman who purchased one; and to the woman who for the second straight day chose a Weight Watcher’s cookbook; and to The Quiet Man, who took home two vinyl gems: a Marlene Dietrich album and the original soundtrack to The King and I, featuring Yul Brynner.
