As a natural extension of marriage, Juno was also the goddess of childbirth. Another interpretation of the origins of June" says that the name came from the Latin juvenis, young people," who were celebrated at this time. Juno, in Roman religion, was the chief goddess and female counterpart of Jupiter, similar to the relationship between the Greek Hera and Zeus. Perhaps not surprisingly, given her role of protector of women and children, this powerful queen of the gods was also considered the fierce protector and special counselor of the state and a guardian angel warning those in times of danger.The Month of June Juno is the ancient Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth.

Gotta go and get my emissions test (whoopee). No vacations in June except the rest of this week. Next big trip is the "big one" - to the U.P. (L'Anse to be precise). Beatiful drive up the western shore of Lake Michigan and into the woods of Wisconsin and MI, but we'll talk about that later. |

OK, so by that definition, if the Romans were correct, 80% of the babies would be born in March - correct? I don't think that's true. |

Picky, picky.... June is the Month of the Sacred Heart. June 8th is the feast of Corpus Christi - This feast is celebrated in the Latin Church on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. |

June - the month all of the gang bangers start hanging out on the corners and shooting themselves and others and knife fighting. Also when they start "drifting" at 2 in the am, 7 days per week keeping everyone up and Allentown police say "Oh, I guess there is nothing we can do to make it stop" because the youths are just dis affected and bored, so they are so innocent. Our mayor is a woke who thinks they are perfect and nothing can be their fault at all while the tax paying people have to suffer and pay the salary of the police that do nothing. I just want to stay in the Adirondaks where I came back from after the holidays. Its clean and peaceful there. |

OK, so how is everyone in the Midwest dealing with the drought? I didn't realize we had one until I saw it on the news. Hardly any rain in May and Accuweather doesn't show a lot of rain the whole rest of the month. Actually, the Chicago area got .89 inches last week, but the city itself didn't really see any (at least downtown). @ChicagoScanner on Twitter had several calls to the CFD for grass fires - one of them set a garage on fire. Hope Siobhan is watering her garden that she planted last week. |

Nothing in MI. Genesee county had a huge grass fire on Saturday. No houses burned, thank God. |

Oakland County has issued a red flag warning. Winds are going to pick up and its bone dry. The air is orange - smoke from the fires in Ontario and Quebec. Buckle up everyone. |

We had a bit of the smoke from the Sask and Alberta fires last week, but nothing like NYC is getting. |

We had it pretty bad, but not as bad as NY. Will be getting some much needed rain this weekend which will remove the remaining smoke. |

No plans to go anywhere this summer. We'll be going for two weeks in October - first to Charlotte for a family wedding, then several of the families will go down to Orlando. Skipping Disney - its over-priced and preachy-woke. |

I wish corporations would stop preaching and just concentrate on providing the goods and services we want. Fortunatly, I think the tide is turning, based on what happened to Bud Lite and Target. |

Yes, hopefully. I'm trying to put together a picture in my mind about what the motivations of various parties could be. Is it true that the deep state is really trying to push actual Marxism, or do they just want to maintain their power? I think there are the following forces: 1. Those that want to preserve their power positions in the deep state. They are the type that want the power, prestige and social creds that having this kind of power produces. They wouldn't care about actual Marxism, just power. 2. The utiopian dreamers: People who think they are smarter than others and have a "plan" to rule the world. They want to make things better. The problem is that their definition of "better" may be someone else's definition of "nightmare". 3. Dyed in the wool Marxist: Those that want to destroy the current system and impose Marxism because they beleive in it. Any of these people will produce misery. Group number 1 is the LEAST dangerous since they would be willing to go back to the pre-2016 status quo if possible. You know what Jordan Peterson says about people in the #2 category. As he says, and I agree, NO ONE can come up with one system to run everything - its too complex and any plan they come up with is bound to have flaws. Its best if we have a system like we have had: millions of distributed processing engines (people) all running their own experiments. When something proves to work, others can adopt it, and toss away the other failures. The problem with the #2 people is that, with absolute power, only their plan can be tried - no one is allowed to do their own experiment. If their Master Plan is flawed (and it most certainly is), we are all screwed. Need I say more about the #3 people. In the 20th century we had a perfect experiment. The West chose free market capitalism and freedom, the eastern bloc (USSR, China, Cambodia and Cuba) chose Marxism. Our way elevated the human condition out of the misery in which it had existed for most of the 350,000 years of our species existend. The other one (Marxism), killed over a quarter of a BILLION people and condemned BILLIONS MORE to oppression, privation and no chance to escape that. How much human capital was chained up during those years? As much progress at elevating the human condition that was acheived in our Free Market system, how much more could have been acheived if those billions of people were free to join the distributed experiment that we enjoyed? Could we have a cure for cancer now, for diabetes? Could we have the clean energy (fusion, maybe) solution the greenies always dream of. Its ironic that those same green freaks are also Marxist/Socialists. Something worth thinking about.... |

I had not though about the billions enslaved from that perspective. Yes, it may have been a human rights travesty for the enslaved, but if you view everyone as potentially in posession of abilities that could help humanity, that is another crime that affects the whole world. I tend to agree about the complexity of the motivation of the people in power. They aren't always on the same page with everything, but I think the one thing that binds them together is the desire to maintain power and to get more of it. |

We lump their motivations together at our own peril. That they have complex and varying motivations may be a tool we can use to divide and conquor. Sorry, I sound like an evil schemer, but you need to play hard sometimes. The Marcus of Queensbury Rules only work if both side are following them. |
