Happy Hump Day!
Ron's once flourishing roses are struggling mightily due to a mix of neglect and incompetence. This saddens me, but also makes me appreciate the occasional hardy blossom that beats the odds and thrives for a short time; this sun-dappled was photographed 2 weeks ago...
Edited to add my thoughts on yesterday's women's soccer Olympic matches...
USA (ranked #5) beat Germany (ranked #4) 1-0 in added extra time to advance to the Gold Medal match against Brazil. That's the good news. But I am concerned about their style of play in the last 2 matches: way too much passing back and not enough moving forward.
As indicated, Brazil (world ranked #9) advanced to the Gold Medal match by upsetting Spain (ranked #1) 4-2. IMO this was a huge upset, and I congratulate the Brazilian team. And I am glad that Brazil's legendary striker Marta has a chance to end her long career with a Gold Medal (she received a red card in an earlier match against Spain so was banned for 2 games but is eligible to play in the Gold Medal match).

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
