Yesterday, I received a grocery order. And two packages. At the same time. (Fortunately both packages were small.) I managed to get it all in but not all put away – just the perishables. And I feel like I’ve done a full day’s work and them some. Oh well, it’s supposed to be a little cooler today

Short Takes –
CPR News – A small southeastern Colorado town’s 3-person police force all abruptly quit
Quote – In a press release posted to the county sheriff’s Facebook page on Friday, the [Baca County Sheriff’s] office announced they would be stepping up temporarily to police Springfield after reaching a unanimous agreement with the city and Baca County Commissioners on Thursday. In addition to Springfield Police Chief Katrina Martin, the SPD had two officers on staff and one vacant Animal Control Officer position, according to the department’s website. One SPD resignation became effective Wednesday and the other two will be effective on Saturday, the sheriff’s office said.
Click through for story. It’s unlikely that this would happen in a town with a department larger than 3 (plus one vacancy) – not that there aren’t places we might wish it would. There were three hundred and seventy-six officers standing outside Robb Elementary in Uvalde (granted, a mix of city, county, state, and federal). That is 76 more than Spartan soldiers at the Battle of Marathon. And 370 more than flag raisers at Iwo Jima.
Democratic Underground (kentuck) – Why Trump called off his mob at 4:17 pm?
Quote – He was not talked into it. He did not do it because he thought it was the right thing to do. He had gotten a message that Mike Pence had usurped his authority and called out the National Guard to “clear the Capitol”. He did not have the people or the weapons in place to defeat the National Guard. His plan was to declare “martial law”.
Click through for full speculation – it is only speculation – no sources are provided. Some known facts are included, and the remarks on motivation may be accurate – or not. We don’t know. The most I can say is that the chain of reasoning appears consistent with his behavior and with motivations which are known.
