Corrrecting the Terminology

 Paul Krugman's substack has a useful examination of the right wing's tendency to label anything they don't like as "socialist" while ignoring the real meaning of the term.  Read:

 Krugman does not take up the even more ridiculous "communist" which Trump flings at politicians like Mamdami.

66

 The Albuquerque Museum has mounted a big show about the history of New Mexico's portion of the famous highway.  It is nicely put together, though for me all a bit overly familiar.  For Margaret it evoked memories of a cross-country road trip with her family in the 1950s.

Gus

 Gus was one of the kittens from two litters born in our backyard.  He was relentlessly sociable.  He found the ideal caregiver and became a warm center of her life for eighteen years..  Both are now gone.
