Garden Bounty

To be clear these veggies are from the grocery store, but my love of carrots and radishes in particular dates from a boyhood where my Dad grew them in our backyard garden in rich Saginaw Valley soil. I know we grew other crops as well, including rhubarb, but I don't remember which ones.

Lately I've been mixing lots of vegetables including the above plus brussel sprouts, artichokes, asparagus, corn, peas, beans and others into my diet.

Aidan is back! He drove Zaira and their cat, Mika, into San Francisco at around 7:30 last night. Planning to see him later today. So good to have him home.

I envision Donald Trump winning the presidency this November. The only way I see him losing is if the GOP establishment forms a third party ticket. That ticket would need to drain about 5 percent of the vote from Trump for Clinton to win the election.

There is no precedent over the past 8 election cycles, according to 538, for the two leading candidates to have such high negatives. Trump's in particular are amazingly high.

Yet negatives are not a bad thing for a candidate like Trump. That many hate and fear him will stoke his base, which is larger than many people realize.
