Trump/Hegseth instruction manual:
1. Invent a war where none exists.
2. Kill people by blowing up boats that aren’t attacking you.
3. Violate your own rules of war.
4. Call in the lawyers to explain why the clear violations are not really violations.
5. Blame it on “the fog of war.”

For the third county of my recent coastal road trip in NC, I took in an amazing sunset while eating nachos, braved the Cedar Island Ferry crossing (2.5 hrs), and visited a burial ground with stones dating back to the 1700s.

Everything is plundered, betrayed, sold,
Death's great black wing scrapes the air,
Misery gnaws to the bone.
Why then do we not despair?
By day, from the surrounding woods,
cherries blow summer into town;
at night the deep transparent skies
glitter with new galaxies.
