Straight out of the camera but I liked the combination of patterns going on here. Between Dana and John,  our garden is at it's best right now. This is a well established succulent in a pot. The guys have finished mowing the field, a massive job considering the nature of the terrain and the amount of rain we had last month. It's also almost two months earlier than most years. We haven't seen Pedro or the crew that he usually sends to do more major jobs. I have no idea what anybody's immigration status is, but I can't help worrying. At this point is seems almost everyone is at risk. If creating an atmosphere of fear is the goal, Agent Orange has certainly succeeded.

I went to the dermatology clinic today. It is starting to feel like my second home. I had another series of chemotherapy injections  my leg and a biopsy of an extremely ugly looking thing on my elbow. She said it is a fast growing squamous cell and agreed to schedule surgery without waiting for the biopsy results which I appreciated as I could practically watch the thing growing. I think they consider the doctor is 'on time' once they put you in a room, but I waited in there for over half an hour before she appeared. While I waited, the light kept mysteriously going on and  off. It's a motion sensor light and if I'm sitting quietly in the corner It thinks the room is empty. I was beginning to think everybody else thought that too.

Everybody, including me, has been wondering where the Congress is as Agent Orange continues to rape and pillage the country while accepting unbelievable amounts of money from foreign governments, mostly the  
Saudis. I decided rather than rant more I would collect some quotes that might show that there IS activity...just not as news making as gifts of Boeing jumbo jets .

I'll let them speak for themselves.

"It is Trump who is actually weaponizing the federal government against both his political enemies and countless other American citizens today. 
For not one of his signature initiatives during his first 100 days in office does Trump have the authority under the Constitution and laws of the United States that he claims...."

--conservative  judge J. Michael Luttig's response to Trump's insisting that he is the victim of 'weaponization' of government.

(The House DOGE caucus, created to work with Musk on a government audit) "is dead...defunct...We only had two meetings in five months"
--Rep. Jared Moskowiitz (D-FL)
 
'Republicans want to do this in the dead of night...and not let the American people see. Shame on you...the people deserve to see the actions that you're doing to them by cutting Medicaid in favor of the richest of the rich for tax breaks. Hashtag WeWon'tLetYou"
--Troy A. Carter Sr. (D-LA0

"Your deppartment has been sloppy. and instead of focusing on real criminals, you have allowed innocent children to be deported while you fly around the country playing dress-up for the cameras. Instead of enforcing the laews, you have repeatedly broken them. You need to change course immediately before more innocent people are hurt on your watch."
--Rep Seth Magaziner (D-RI)

"I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me"
--Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of Health and Human Services

"I think a lot of people understand it, but half the world gets its information from nontraditional news sources. So it's always hard for us to get our message to penetrate. On Fox news they just talk about tax cuts. They don't talk about how the money is going to hedge funds and corporations. It's a cruel, mean, rotten bill."
--Rep Jim McGovern, (D-Mass)
