When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.--CONFUCIUS
Cercone wedding. Lovely. The bride was quite beautiful. We left when the guests started to take selfies with cows.
We stayed at a strange hotel, though.
A fight between Tory leader Boris Johnson and girlfriend Carrie Symonds, where the police were called by neighbors concerned for the woman's safety, led to senior Tories voicing concerns Johnson had ruined his chances to get into No10 over the row.
There is some good reason to believe the call was politically motivated.
"Boris." Probably a Russian.
Mysterious objects over Kansas City.
it was revealed that the mystery flying objects were a top-secret DARP (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) project, dubbed Adaptable Lighter Than Air (ALTA) program
ALTA was developed to test high altitude lighter-than-air vehicle capable of wind-borne navigation over extended ranges. The balloons can fly at altitudes of more than 75,000 feet while carrying a small payload.
Symonds:
Created by the dating company Nozze., which operates 21 branches across Japan, DNA Matching works with scientists at a Tokyo laboratory in order to decode the science of attraction and find the perfect match for its clients.
DNA Matching is clearly one of the more futuristic innovators of Japan’s dating industry. Its concept is simple: based on the survivalist scientific theory that people with the most diverse DNA are the most attracted to one another
This quote from Will's new book is so witheringly sensible and insightful, it likely will be banned:
"The voluntary interactions of individuals in what we now call the private sector, and what in the Founders’s era was called society, aka almost all of life, would naturally produce inequalities. Individuals who are naturally unequal in endowments, desires, and exertions would in a context of political liberty, experience different social results. “In the Founders’ understanding,” [Martin] Diamond wrote, “whoever says equality of liberty thereby says inequality of outcomes; whoever says equality of outcomes thereby says inequality of liberty, because only the unequal handicapping of the superior will prevent their capacities from manifesting themselves.”"
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
The original was in Greek, but it passed through Latin on its way to us, and the Latin word used for love in the passage was not ‘amor’ but ‘caritas,’ the root of our word ‘charity.’ It means ‘caring love,’ or perhaps ‘loving care.'

Companies are investing in marijuana. Altria paid $1.8bn for a 45% stake in Cronos Group, a Canadian cannabis company and there could be expansion. Sales of traditional cigarettes are expected to fall in the US by up to 4.5% annually as the new generation of products, such as e-cigarettes, becomes more popular. While these products may be the target for growth for cigarette companies initially, the report expects more of a focus on products from the cannabis family.In anticipation of changes in the beer and spirits market, Constellation Brands has taken a stake in Canopy, another Canadian cannabis producer, which S&P's analysts say will provide growth opportunities for the company as beer and spirits sales slow. Amazingly, lawn and garden company Scotts Miracle Grow has invested $1bn buying companies that help users grow plants with little soil. "While hydroponics products are not solely dedicated to growing cannabis, we believe this is the primary purpose," the S&P analysts say.
