You can see what was happening at the Production Meeting this morning at Socotra House. The group is a little short with Section Leader MIles off on a working group on resumption of oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Splash claims to be doing elsewhere and it is clear Rocket would prefer to be doing something else than discussing the biologic improbabilities aborad in our land.

Men in women’s sports isn’t a civil right issue, you know? it is lunacy. There should be a league for men Who ProudlyThink they are Women and let things sort themselves out without injury.

Dierdre and Holly are pleased that the Primary has been held and the elections people claim they will do all the counting in just a few days. Blanche stopped by to fill us in on the view from Arlington, which is five minutes closer than the District. We think we know the answer and there will be more. We took an internal poll and doubt if Mr. Trump will put up with our new mayor any more than he did the Iranians.

Meanwhile, when MIles gets back we will settle into the pre-midterm carnival of partisan dispute we are getting organized. There are five book projects in various states of assembly and a constant drumbeat of improbable news from unlikely places that have manifested themselves in a general war on biology itself. Pride Month is another parade in motion demanding we celebrate a variety of mental disabilities that are inimical to our well-being.

The key to things will be to stay calm and enjoy the spectacle! What a summer this will be!
