Quote of the day:

If there is a more hideous language on the face of the earth than the American form of English, I should like to know what it is!
—Baron Somers, in the House of Lords (1979)

When I went grocery shopping yesterday morning, there was a bike ride in progress.

I had noticed a police presence earlier when I went for my morning walk, but had forgotten about the bike ride.

Once again I had to pick my spot to make it across Christian Street.

The bikes were a lot denser on my way back, but by then I was in a hurry, and didn’t get my phone out to snap any photos.

I was planning to walk over to the No Kings protest, but by that time, between the plantar fasciitis and the arthritis in my knee, my right leg  and foot were really killing me (it was a washing day and I had gone up and down the stairs quite a bit), so I only made it a block before I realized I’d never get all the way.

So sorry. No photos of the protest.

Instead, here’s another pic of the herbs on my kitchen window.
