Wondering when we'll have Wirecutter ratings for businessmen, tech mogols, large law firm managing partners, and most notably Republican politicians, of Trump-approved and Trump-specific kneepads.

Amazingly, I have a very productive grapefruit tree in my backyard in Berkeley. Planted it maybe 30 years ago - bought it at Costco! Who'd a thunk it?
And a bird of paradise right beside it - from the same Costco trip.

Maui demonstration was in the thousands. Good hearted, but serious. Outrage at Trump for so many things is the dominant theme. This little girl gave me her sign to carry when her family was set to leave.

bulbs are the greatest! Here are some of mine this morning on my front steps - lilies, obviously. The lilies come up for me every year, but here in Berkeley, I have to replant the tulips and daffodils every year, they don't naturalize.

Is that a tiger lily? this one is spectacular, but less so than your fancy one.
