Absolute irony . . .

Monday, June 1, 2026. It's the Moon's day . . . still full, still blue, but beginning to wane. A slow start to a hot, sunny day in Green Country and TulseyTown. Moderate Southerlies and 95º by mid afternoon. Rainy night before midnight is possible this evening. Significantly cooler tomorrow.

Yin and Yang arising mutually is the absolute operationalization of irony. Ms. Morissete captured it.
