Headline from nypost.com: “Help from above: Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites coming up big for Ukraine in war against Russia.” Kudos, sir.

Also from NYP: “University of Michigan protesters call for ‘Intifada,’ demise of Israel: ‘A call to murder Jews’.” First reaction: How is this allowed? Second: It’s good to know the enemy, a dividend of free speech.

NYP, government in a nutshell: “Puff, puff, pass: NYC’s Housing Works sells weed while helping clients quit smoking tobacco.”

NYP: “Why beavers are so much cooler than you ever thought.” One type is especially cool.

Headline from newsmax.com: “President Biden to Give Sermon at Martin Luther King’s Church in Atlanta.” The KKK’s Grand Dragon wasn’t unavailable? Then again, maybe credit should be given for being so forgiving.

Interesting development in Illinois, headline from foxnews.com: “UP IN ARMS: Dozens of sheriffs take matters into own hands, vow to defy Dem’s strict gun rule.” Kudos.

Also from FN: “Abortions in Texas plummet nearly 99% months after Dobbs ruling.” I call that progress.

No action at the floating book shop today until the last few minutes. My thanks to the gentleman who bought by the controversial, alleged non-fiction work A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, and to the one who purchased In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing by Walter Murch and Francis Ford Coppola and Einstein: the Human Side: New Glimpses from His Archives; and to the lovely young woman who took home a beautifully illustrated kids’ book. It was the first time I had all 14 of my books on display.
