Hot, but not too muggy.  I sat under our new patio umbrella and did the NYT Acrostic.  Pleasant.

The New York Post... is that scandalous "rag" that I like to read once in a while. Remember, I said that they hate Hillary.. well,  I notice that they are starting to hate Donald... along with 59% of the population.  He gets a lot of attention because nobody (not even himself) knows what he is going to say next.  It's fun.

Here are a few of the Post's items for yesterday that I found interesting:

Melania Trump in the Nude

Letter to the Editor from Patricia Comerford said:  "Thanks a bunch for showing three pages of 'revealing' photos of Melania Trump Sunday morning.  Now to even things out, you absolutely must publish some photos of Bill Clinton naked.  Eww... never mind."

News Item:  Three Massachusetts men were indicted for selling $200,000 worth of razor blades on ebay that were stolen from the Boston's Gillette Factory where one of them worked.

Weird Remedies

The Post highlights some information from Dr. H. Eric Bender, who co-wrote "1 Out Of 10 Doctors Recommends: Drinking Urine, Eating Worms and Other Weird Cures, Cases, and Research From the Annals of Medicine."

Three special treatments:

o  Melittin, a toxin in bee venom may be beneficial in destroying HIV while preserving normal cells.  It also my be good for treating hepatitis and herpes. 

o  Bear bile has been used in China for years to improve eyesight and fight off the flu.  Good luck in getting the bear to cooperate.

o  Rhino horns are in demand since some big-shop says it helped cure his cancer.  Rhinos are endangered so don't get too excited.

Smart Dogs?

Weird but True item:  A lady locked her two dogs into her car with the windows up and the motor running, so that the dogs would have air conditioning.   However, the dogs must have become irritated at how long she was taking and attacked the parking brake and somehow shifted into first gear and rammed into the front of the store.  Luckily neither dog nor human was hurt.

Fun for State of Mainers.. how they Harass People in New Hampshire

Weird but True item:  Some clown spray painted the words "I'm drunk" on the side of police headquarters in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Any Calls for Me"?

Weird but True item:  An eagle attacked Coast Guard Lt. Andres Ayure on Ballyhoo Mountain in Alaska.  It ripped off his "hoodie" and caused him to drop his cellphone.  The savvy bird pecked at it a couple of times and then picked it up and carried it away to its aerie.
