Summertime treat: peach crisp with vegan vanilla ice cream:
When I was mowing, I noticed skeletonized birch leaves on the ground and later, we found them in the pool:
The culprit:
The big Tiger lilies out front are just about done for the season. A fable from 2022
All of Summer In a Day (or two):
They had been planted together, all those many seasons ago and developed a warm relationship with each other. Late in the bloom season, they would engage in a friendly competition to be the last in their bed to flower. While each contained both male and female parts, one leaned a bit more masculine and the other feminine. This year, she began to flower first, bright and bold in stark contrast to the forest of flowerless stalks that remained in the bed.
The next morning, he began to bloom. Deeper orange in color with less petal curl. She thought he looked magnificent.

She had begun to wane but for this single, mild July day, they bloomed together. They loved each other and looked forward to the coming dormancy, snuggled against the coming cold, roots entwined, awaiting the warming Spring.

Insane product and concept:
Neurotic Americans, worried about human-based odor? Here's the product for you!
Why stop at your pits? Now, for $15/13 oz, you can spray your entire body and fight odor effectively for 72 hours! That's right, spend a goddamn fortune (really, how long does 13 oz last?) and theoretically, only bathe every 3 days. Who is this being marketed to? Very busy and lazy people.
Group A-Moms-whether holding down a career and caring for a family-damn, you're tired. No strength to shower-just wanna fall into bed.
Group B-folks who have a full-time job and a couple of side-hustles. A great time-saver for those who can't be a stinky entrepreneur.
Group C-remote workers. Often, the partner of whom would like their beloved a little less ripe. Plus, not bathing regularly gives off a bad vibe of "why give a fuck?"; "I'm making money aren't I?"; "Yur just jealous cuz yur stuck going into the office".
Folks, help out your relationship and make the sacrifice: spend the money and bathe every 3 days.
Pardon the pun, but this really has the odor of some nutty product from GOOP. Operators are standing by and if you act now and buy 3 cans, we'll throw in a candle that smells like your vagina.

FUBARland:
Would it not be a delicious irony if what brings Roach down is the Epstein involvement? How common for a small man with a oversized ego who has thirsted for recognition as a stable genius all his pathetic life. Modern history across the planet is littered with such men, brought down by a sex scandal whether they be a leader in politics or nation, CEO of a corporation, president of a university, clergy, doctor, military command or community leader. One famous example just died on 7/1-televangelist Jimmy Lee Swaggart, Mr. I-Have-Sinned, who got busted for his involvement with prostitutes.
But I digress-I fervently hope that the Dems relentlessly push for the release of the Epstein files. It's a great opportunity to get rid of this bastard and his destructive administration before they do too much irreparable damage to our country and the world. The blood's in the water, Dems. Bite down and don't let go until they are all floating upside down, washing up on the beach of corruption and shame.

It has been reported that Russia is considering cutting the electricity and internet service at 10 pm local to try and boost the birthrates with these distractions out of the way.
Let's hope the idiots in Washington who are in a lather about the our own drop in population, don't grab hold of this idea. Roach will try and monetize it-oh, you can have electricity and the internet after 10 pm if you buy a premium service. If you bundle it, you also get Paramount +, the Disney Channel and more.

Fun fact:
In the US, giving candy away for Halloween was not widespread. But following the rationing of sugar during WWII, candy makers once the supply chain was repair, exploded their production and marketing-Halloween became one of their biggest promotions.
