Lessons For The Day

     First lesson, when recovering from a cold, Mandarin oranges are delicious -- and so are imported, dark-chocolate-covered cherries! (One of the first and, by an effort of will, only two of the second.)

     I managed to get to the grocery today, the first time I have left the house since last Saturday.

     Second lesson: Washington rarely gives you what you want.  The Epstein Files were released today -- almost entirely redacted.  Most of the blanked-for-declassification documents nuclear-weapons historian Alex Wellerstein unearths and FOIAs out have less blacked out on the page.  Yes, I said it: you can find out more about the once Top Secret U. S. plans to nuke the Moon than about most of the men in nice suits featured in photos in the Epstein Files, their faces entirely elided.

     It's sure nice the Great White Father in DC has managed to clear that up.
