Life and the G7

We've had a bumper crop of baby marmots this year.  We drove by a facility on Indian Trail Road, and their yard was full of them.   We've got one trying to establish a burrow in the front retaining wall.  This will not stand.  Lest you think I am unfeeling about critters, there are miles of basalt cliffs behind the neighborhood that are very tall, and they could all be happy there.  They do not need to be here digging.

There is not too much happening here.  The guy across the cul de sac is getting a new roof.  His crew keeps odd hours.  The house up the hill from us has a crew that worked until 9pm last night.  Different work ethic.  Across the cul de sac crew is doing other work along side the roof so they're part time, that would annoy the living snot out of me.  

It has warmed up.  We're riding.  There is a lot of this blooming in the park.


47 went to the G7 where he lost his way several times.  The other attendees would go get him and bring him back to the fold.  There was a fair amount of this, as well. 


We're not convinced he knew where he was, or why.

Macron invited him for dinner at Versailles.  That is where Germany signed the surrender papers after WWI.   While 47 was there, he signed surrender papers to Iran, as well.  We don't think he understood the optics of signing there.  Macron played him.

Meanwhile, the Reflecting Pool is full of algae, the blue coating is coming up due to the use of hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae, and the entire thing is becoming a lost cause.  Uniformed officers of some sort are arresting tourists who are reaching in to get a sample of the floating blue coating.  I have no idea what they're charging them with.

Other than that, life moves on and the ice maker has quit making ice.  I am very annoyed about this.
