Welcome to Tuesday. Today would have been my brother's birthday, but he died young. Really early onset Alzheimer's took him.
This is how today started. This level of destruction would probably require nuclear weapons. This would be bad. However, he TACOed. He's given the Iranians a two week extension on extermination, IF they open the strait. No word on how that's going. Current negotiations are being held by Pakistan and Iran, and then China entered the conversation. China and Pakistan really need the strait to be open.
As always, it is astonishing to me that Congress is not impeaching or applying the 25th Amendment to get this guy out of office. He should not have the nuclear codes any more.
Last night, Iran attacked Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemical complex: the zone that produces 60,000,000 tons of petrochemicals a year which is 6 to 8 percent of EVERYTHING the world makes. This was unfortunate, pretty much everything is petroleum based. Read all about it here.
We rode this morning, it was very pleasant, not too hot. We both had a good bike day. A good bike day is when you feel strong on the hills, and not like you're dying. We've both had a recent spate of feeling like death on the bikes. I'm hoping it's over for awhile. Figures we'd get better now, we're leaving next Tuesday.
Examine the spines on this cactus. They're extraordinarily long. The plant is barrel shaped. The flowers are what first caught my eye, very pretty. Google identifies it as an Astrophytum ornatum cactus.
That's it. I did want to document the two week extension of nuclear winter. 47 is diluting his ability to be threatening because he keeps backing down.
