Heard on Main Street: Burn the good candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
Can’t help but think that the hot weather replacing our lovely days of last week must be to make us realize that climate change is really happening. And to remind us that there are a number of things we can each do to improve the situation.
My car is not new. I have no intention of replacing it. I hear so many folks complain their new car does this or that which they find annoying or just plain wrong. But I see this in some with new computers or cell phones, too.

I tend to avoid watching the news, partly because it is so often the same as yesterday. But also because, at least on TV, the broadcasters are insistent on declaring every item a new catastrophic event. Perhaps, but I think more information on ways to help would not hurt. Broadcasting loud and damaging protests, bringing disorder and violence, does nothing to improve the situation.
Big bunches of birthday balloon wishes go out today to Laura Kimball. Best wishes to Jack O’Callaghan on Tuesday. Wednesday belongs to Nancy Cryer. Happy birthday to Leslie Craven on Wednesday.
