Math is Hard

Good morning from Tim Hortons. We reserve judgement on the coffee. Much to our disappointment we didn't see Canadian flags, Canada Geese, Moose, Albertan miners, Quebecois loggers, or the obligatory photo of Justin Trudeau, prominently displayed so that the staff may show obedience. Speaking of, we counted eight people behind the counter with one Asian, one Latin guy, and the rest seemingly from the subcontinent. Does the Indian community in America control the Tim Horton's franchise? Not kidding, Greeks run diners in this part of the country. The ambience is fine. The music is not terrible, yet. Overall, Tim Horton's feels like Canadian Dunkin Donuts. 

We're a moron. [I know-Ed]. And dyslexic. This isn't post 6,000. This is post 5,600, which our dyslexic brain told us was post 6,000. That's how dyslexia works. [You're blaming dyslexia?-Ed] We said we're a moron, didn't we? [Nothing to disagree with there-Ed]. Actually, we found one unpublished post begun last December but never finished. If we deleted that...[Yes, yes, do the math-Ed] No way. we scored a 320 math SAT. Foreign reader(s), that's really bad. 

Self-immolation is the term being bandied about to describe Senator Charles Schumer's anti-Israeli speech yesterday. This seems about right. Even the regime backed away from Chuck's call for an Israeli election. Meanwhile, Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire, then it will release hostages. The Times of Israel reports, 'Netanyahu rejects ‘still absurd’ Hamas demands, approves IDF plan for Rafah operation'. Let's hope so. Best guess, no deal. Disclosure, last night our best guess would have been 'deal'. They're still negotiation, folks. Lets just say there's a lot of Kabuki being performed. Up north, the Israeli operational tempo against Hezbollah gains speed. 

The Lexington story in War Night is coming along fine. Right now we have a lot of bookmarks to sites about Lexington. We consulted with, shall we say, a person who works in government, and he gave us some great ideas for all the stuff that would go wrong as the City of Lexington prepared for war. Officials on vacation or out sick. Bomb shelters not checked since the late 50's, etc etc. Lexington is proving to be....complex as a joint Lexington/Fayette County government and council formed in 1974. This will make for an urban/rural divide. This story is turning into a tour of Lexington. Which is fine.
