The best thing about the Biden auto-pen: it set the bar really low for presidents like Donald Trump.

Truly amazing: this is a utility out in the middle of nowhere --

The Book Page

The book:  

Silent Spring Revolution: John F. Kennedy, Rachel Carson, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, And The Great Environmental Awakening, Douglas Brinkley, c. 2022 

I have this book on my desk and go through it periodically; it's been my book of the day many times. It brings back a lot of memories -- just look at the names in the subtitle: JFK, LBJ, Nixon -- it was a very different time. 

If I take notes on the book, I place them here
