Our sump pump has been running pretty steady since last evening. That means we have had enough rain and it can stop now.
Noah collected some iron and fire brick while he was visiting and gave it to us to ship to him. Tracey and I boxed some of it up and I hauled it to the Post Office yesterday. Thirty pounds in one box! Thank goodness for flat rate shipping!
We still have another couple boxes to go. I decided it would be better to spread it out over a few days rather than load the poor mail person up all in one day in Phoenix.

Hillarity Clintoon’s well-heeled backers have opened a new frontier in digital campaigning, one that seems to have been inspired by some of the Internet’s worst instincts. Correct the Record, a super PAC coordinating with Clintoon’s campaign, is spending some $1,000,000 to find and confront social media users who post unflattering messages about the Dimocrat front-runner.

So Bernie Sanders saying that he plans to go to the Party’s summer corporate meeting convention and argue that he’s best positioned to win the general election is the veritable dictionary definition of “playing by the rules.”
Meanwhile, Clintoon and her camp suddenly discovering some unstated principle about the connection between super-delegates and the popular vote, or super-delegates and the pledged-delegate count, is pretty rich — given that Clintoon picked up 86% of her super-delegates (451 of 523) at a time when she was well behind in both measures.
Calling Clintoon a hypocrite on the issue of super-delegates would be unkind; it would be more accurate to say that, on the subject of super-delegates, as on so many other subjects, there is no evidence that Clintoon has any core principles whatsoever.
