9:30 am, 82 degrees, but already a swamp. 20-25 minutes outside working and off to the shower I went.

Chicken dinner math:  Into the Instant Pot: One discount roaster chicken ($4), a carrot, some celery, an onion, and a few bay leaves.  P-cook for 50 minutes, and then cool completely.  Pick the meat and set aside.  The bones and whatev go back in the Instant Pot along with water and it runs for 2 more hours.  Strains the remains and jar up the stock.

One $4 chicken and some stray veg supplies chicken for several easy meals and at least 4 quarts of excellent chicken stock.

Is this real, or is it Memorex?  The thing is, the way cowardly lies run out of that region we really don't know, do we?  NOTHING reported from anyplace in the Middle East can be taken at face value.  Not even the simplest things.   We Americans are rank amateurs at Pravda compared to those folks.  We've only been lying to each other for centuries while they went pro millennia ago.

Yeah, I know.  Not changing a single thought in a single head... assuming there are any there to begin with.

I like the idea behind the Juneteenth 'holiday'.  It should be remembered, and remembered accurately.  It is s simple thing, commemorating the act of Lincoln sending a Union general and troops to Texas with the job of freeing people unlawfully enslaved. We should also have a day of remembering when the world found out about the the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.  It began under Hoover and ended under Nixon, after some 40 years of watching black American men die for no reason.
