From NYP: “Mount Everest climbers now must pick up their own poop as mountain mess festers.” Let’s hear what Triumph the Insult Comic Dog has to say about this, photo from Google Images:
Yum. From NYP: “Mike Tyson selling edibles shaped like a chewed ear — and now you can get them in New York.” Photo from GI:

Headline from foxnews.com: “Gov. DeSantis signs law to ‘end the squatters scam,’ protect homeowners in Florida.” Kudos, Sir. I hope the other 49 states follow suit.
I’m not anti-green. I believe it’s a good supplement, but not a mainstay as presently constituted. From FN out of Texas: “Hail cripples massive solar farm, sparking resident concern about vulnerable ‘green’ tech.”
The rain held off, there was no wind, so I got in a full session of the Anti-Inflation book shop. My thanks to the gentleman who bought two DVDs in Russian, and to Lou, who took home a bunch in English; and to my Constant Benefactress, who purchased The Jews of Moslem Spain by Eliyahu Ashtor, Jerrie M. Klein, et al.; and to the young man who selected The Education of Blacks in the South, 1860–1935 by James D. Anderson.
