Here’s what I was thinking about a little on a dog walk yesterday.

Happy fourth to my one kid being an asshole to my other kid just to get a rise out of everyone. Truly the most USian thing imaginable.

Enjoying these four discrete and unrelated images.

It somehow had not occurred to me until now that a core motivation in Sharon’s removal of Gaza settlements might be to make way for less restrained violence with less risk to settlers.
