Plums

On Sunday, I bought a box of plums from Twin Springs at the farmers’ market. On Tuesday, I ate two of them as part of my lunch, and they were delicious, much better than supermarket plums.

Sharing an Appeal

I know my online friends are mostly not the country club set, but if you’re interested and solvent, there is an appeal through GoFundMe by a woman with medical expenses, so those who feel moved to chip in may do so. This does not apply to you if you have business before the Patent Office, or it would otherwise be improper for me to suggest making a donation.

Kamala Harris, Prospective Veep

Mr. Biden has made his vice-presidential selection and he chose Kamala Harris, whose record as a prosecutor and politician does not delight me. It used to be that conventions actually chose vice-presidential nominees for geographic and ideological balance, but even if that were happening this year, the nod might go to Senator Harris, or someone like her. I was hoping for Stacey Abrams.

I do not plan to vote Democrat; I have contributed to Jo Jorgensen’s campaign, and plan to vote for her. However, since the Libertarians are highly unlikely to win the election, I do at least hope to see Trump removed from the White House, and I can think of better potential removers, even within the Demopublican duopoly, than Biden and Harris. But I don’t always get what I want.
