While walking this morning, we saw an unfamiliar and pretty egg lying at the side of the road: light blue with irregular small brown speckles, about an inch long with one end definitely smaller than the other. It seems to have been a northern mockingbird egg. We saw them at our previous house, about a mile and a half away, but have not noticed them here. -----Alan
“Allan Lichtman, the historian who has correctly forecast the results of nine out of the 10 most recent presidential elections argued on Saturday that replacing President Joe Biden could cost Democrats the 2024 election,” USA Today reports.
Said Lichtman: “It’s a huge mistake. They’re not doctors. They don’t know whether Biden is physically capable of carrying out a second term or not. This is all foolhardy nonsense.”
I agree that replacing Biden at this point is equivalent to conceding the election. There is no one else who can establish themsleves as a serious candidate this late in the game.
Something weird is happening on my phone. Facebook is bombarding me with a torrent of notifications. Most are friend suggestions, a great number of which are in what appears to be in Chinese or other languages that do not use a Roman alphabet. I can join something called the Illiminiti Brotherhood. I can buy a 2011 Ford Fusion for $500. I have 67 notifications and those are just the new ones. I hardly go on Facebook except every once in a while to say hi to a cousin. Has Facebook lost its mind, or its algorithm? --nordy
I searched for "Illuminati Sisterhood" and got some links, but didn't click on them because obviously my dishonesty would immediatly be detected, doubtless with disastrous effect. -----Alan
I have never heard of that happening on FB before, nordy. I wonder if your FB page has been hacked. I recommend changing your FB password immediately. After you do, be sure to report the issue to FB...!
Our couple of days at the seacoast were very good indeed...though it ended with Wil's brother's burial and a luncheon with the family. That part was sad. But our quiet anniversary celebration was very nice...stayed at two good inns, ate out well, walked a beach until sunset, visited UNH which is Wil's alma mater and where I took classes and worked full time, plus we visited some of our old haunts, including the church where we were married. Lots of sweet moments. Photos to follow in coming days.
Oh, good heavens; I love the lead graphic!

Clarification: at our previous house we saw mockingbirds, but not their nests.

I'm betting the egg won't be there long. Either the parent birds will reclaim it or a predator will take it.
