Bob and I went to the Riley Institute and Furman sponsored program on the “Disparities in the Legal System” and heard from a public defender and an attorney in the juvenile justice system. I left the program both encouraged and depressed. Budget cuts and no new taxes take such a heavy tole on those most vulnerable people in our society. We heard a similar story last week when the topic was education. While MN may complain about high taxes, living in a state where they are low is nothing to be proud of.
On a positive note, the 95 degree temp and high humidity have left and I am enjoying 80 degree weather out on the screened porch watching a stunning sunset with black sky contrasted with beautiful pink, red, orange colors. The fan on the porch makes it very comfortable. Am I becoming a southern girl?
The two cats seem to not care about the hot temperatures but I worry about them and only let them out for a little while. I have to carry them in or push them inside. Smoky loves to lounge on the cement in the garage where it gets very warm. Goofy cats.
Ooh, I really loved the sunset tonight, and I actually didn’t even see it. Where we were, all I got was the beautiful orange / pink tint to everything, which really made the greens and browns in our backyard come alive.
Thanks much. Enjoying your photos on Facebook.
Aren’t we lucky to see such beautiful peaks at the wonders of nature?
