After the soothing rain, 

The flowers bright, sing.

And the bunnies come out’ 

To natures dinner bell ring.  

 

Time for the anti-rabbit spray. 

 

We live in the era of incident driven extrapolations rapidly disseminated forcing people inside assumed fears. It doesn't sound healthy to me.

While we have been looking elsewhere, China has been silently helping Iran rebuild its military capability.  

 

Plane crashes are low frequency high drama events which raise fear in potential flyers. There may be a bigger danger of relying on hysterics over facts. But human nature sees what it sees. 

 

Putin is dogmatic, wily and difficult to read. But one fact remains, he has a mediocre economy and needs wealthier nations to be on his side. He is in fact a communist capitalist, and probably has a soft spot in his heart for financial investment.  

 

Is this admin throwing out babies with bathwater to meet political coals? 

 

 

But, it is real nice having quieter borders. 

 

I think “More Naive” sounds better than "Naiver”, the grammatical acceptable alternative.  I guess I've always been more naive on that one. And I’m sure the phrase “Grammatical acceptable alternative” irritates grammarians. 

 

Today begins the final segment of the three tourney FedEx PGA Championship Guess who the oddsmakers are favoring? 

 

Actually, for gym rats like me it is a banner day and night with the FedEx followed at night by the Pats/Giants on Prime and the Red Sox/Ya, Ya. Ya... well you know who I mean...on local TV. I might have to go to bed later tonight.

It’s always a lovely time after a summer rain and my opening poem was to be one of romance and frivolity. But it turned out that rain nourished flowers for hungry rabbits. Full bellies and empty hearts. You know, authors build great characters and go where their characters take them.  

 

 

The Answer: 

Number one is Mercedes. It is flollowd by BMW, VW, Audi, Volvo, Porsche, Mini and Alfa Romeo. Land River, a euro car now owned by the Indian Company Tata would have been fifth. For all cars sold and Nin America Mercedes is ranked 11th. Interesting, -- For a number of years Jeep always ranked 6th after Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. But now it is tenth behind Hyundai, Kia, Tesla and GMC. And Jeep is owned by an European company. 

 

So, that’s it for another day. 

 

Feel the love around you.
