Pardon me for being a little skeptical.
Bu-bu-but...it's a billion dollars.
I don't eat pizza, but this ought to work on toast, too.

More technical problems
Gregory and other commenters have indicated that they're having trouble publishing comments. Not sure what the problem is. The usual issue is that third-party cookies are blocked, but that isn't the case, since I allowed them some time ago. I'll look into it. If you keep having trouble, drop me a line in my email (see "About me" on the main page).
Update Checked some online chat; seems to be a widespread problem. Maybe it's an eblogger issue.
Neither heat, not hotter heat, nor the hottest heat of all will stay this gardener from her appointed rounds
That's Mrs. Paco, puttering around among the sunflowers and the vegetables - which, as you can see, are in protective custody, to save them from the depredations of rabbits and deer.
My four cotton plants produced several cotton balls this year; I've now got enough, I think, to make the toe section of a sock.
We hope to harvest the sweet potatoes in a few weeks, and maybe get another crop of green beans.
The extreme heat and humidity has led to a proliferation of mealy bugs, which I have combatted all summer. They don't move very fast, so sometimes I just put on latex gloves and run my fingers down the stalks of infected plants or squeeze the leaves, sending them immediately to the bug hereafter.

It could have been worse
She came very close to avoiding a guilty verdict altogether: "The Lindsay Clancy Case Officially Ends in a Mistrial, So What Happens Next?"
I suppose it's possible the prosecution may decide not to refile charges, but that would seem to be damning, even in a godforsaken place like Massachusetts. My guess is that, even if they try her again, they'll never find enough jurors to convict.
Meanwhile, the voices in my head are telling me, "See! We told you it would be ok!"
Never mind what "it" is. Mwahahaha!!!
Related Dear God, they can't all be hearing voices, can they? "Frankfort mother charged with 2-year-old son’s murder claimed he was ‘devil,’ ‘antichrist,’ prosecutors say".
Witnesses informed the officers Corie Walsh had “recently become very invested in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial,” prosecutors said.
“At the time of this occurrence, the jury was still deliberating on the matter. The Clancy trial, involving a mother who had killed her children, was widely covered and discussed in the media and on social media,” prosecutors said.
Corie Walsh had allegedly been “actively discussing the case via group text message” with her friends until 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 1, three and a half hours “before the scene was discovered,” prosecutors said.
I think I know what Tucker Carlson is up to
I believe he's hoping to be appointed Grand Mufti of Michigan.
Waiting for Tucker’s allies in the admin to say anything about his repeated attacks on Americans in favor of sharia candidates. Would criticizing him help or hurt the post-liberal establishment who thinks they’re being clever by ignoring it? 🤔

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem - and friend (1941).
Tucker Carlson: Sigh...
It's a start...
...and it wouldn't have happened under any other president, but let's pick up the pace: "Foreign-Born Population PLUNGES by Nearly 3 Million in First 18 Months of President Trump’s Second Term — Illegal Immigrant Population Drops by Estimated 2.3 Million".

Happy Feet Friday
The lovely and talented Nan Wynn sings "Ain't Misbehavin'".
Bonus tune! Have you ever wondered what English sounds like to the non-English speaker? Here's an innovative attempt to create that sensation.
Here's the song without explication.
