Iside for all to see:
Some of the most beautiful, relaxing vacation spots in America are in the Adirondack Mountains in NY. But people who go there are happy they are not featured prominently in travel service recommendations. Minimalism only plays well in the USA if there are neon signs to show the way. An under the radar place is always a nice place to be.
The Open begins this week so get ready for early morning golf viewing. It is always good tourney, and fun to watch. Scottie was looking like he was just getting in tthe mood at the Scottish Open to play for the championship this week . He will be the favorite, and his patience will be an asset on these links. Rory and Jon Rahm will be two and three. But it is the kind of course that allows anybody to pop up and win.
I threw a boomerang a few years ago. Now I live in constant fear.

Coffee prices are not getting lower, that's for sure. Bring coffee plantations back to America!
Trump is now calling NATO just the opposite of what he called them during campaigning. It appears Maga isn’t Happy. He told BBC that Nato is now 180 degrees of obsolete. Of course, the other countries chipping in a little more may have something to do with that. It’s good to have a strong Nato. I hate sacrificing something that can always be improved and is essentially important to make political points.
A doctor I respect told me that people don't get dehydrated during air travel because of cabin pressure but because they reduce their fluids for fear of having to visit an airplane rest rooms, And that's in fact the biggest cause of dehydration in all circumstances –worried they won't find a rest room.
I went to my skin doc today. He said the surgery wound looked good. I told him it took a long time to heel. He was concerned. I said, "Don’t worry, when you are older watching skin grow back is pretty exciting.” He laughed so hard he had to leave. I like to make doctors laugh.
One of the things I detest is playing politics with human tragedies.
I'd like to comment more intelligently about the Stock market, but it is too unsettled to grasp. Even Jamie Dimon said today that hos company JP Morgan was doing very well in merger advisories and that the economy of the US is solid. He went on to say that he has to warn everybody about a big underlying risk for the future. See what I mean. Everybody feels something lurking.

People have always wondered what was on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Now they know.
The Answer:
Elizabeth 1 daughter of Henry the 8th and Anne N Bolyn was never married. But the talk of the 1500’s was the apparent strong connection and affection between she and Robeert Dudley who had been friends since childhood. She was advised not to marry him even after he spent a small fortune for a wedding proposal. But Robert married Elizabeth's cousin, and she was very mad. Yet after he does there was much evidence that she cherished him forever.
Maybe I should end with Queen! This one seems quite apropos:
