May the Fourth Be with You

Yes, it's Star Wars Day.  Forecast was for a windy afternoon, but here in the North Valley, it never got more than slightly breezy.  Definitely not windy enough to stop Debbie and I from a midday bike ride in her neighborhood.  

Now we're waiting for the forecast rain showers.  Radar shows the storm just north of I-40 -- very close.  There's also much more stretching from Quemado down to Tucson, Rocky Point, and El Rosario.  I'd call it a bona fide atmospheric river.  

In other news, the war with Iran continues with contradictory reports coming out of Washington.  All the while, the GOP reveals its racist underpinnings with its immediate response to the recent SCOTUS ruling that all but killed the Voting Rights Act.  We now know exactly who the bigots are in this country.  

On that uplifting note, I'll leave you with this photo of my little kokedama, a Norfolk Island Pine.
