I liked this month of May.  We completed our 53-day around the world trip, and came home healthy.  I did gain 7 pounds, but by yesterday found out that I had lost 7.5 pounds of that. The World did okay too, if you are not Trump, Netanyahu or Red Lobster.   For example, that disquieting  unified reich  matter might have been a clerical error, but Truth Social did carry it, for a while, and any reference to Hitler can't help a presidential campaign. Red Lobster was one of ten companies going bankrupt this month.  I remember a bunch of  new restaurant openings in Florida going back as far as 1968  with Red Lobster.  Many of them, like Outback Steakhouse, LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden seem to be having financial problems these days.  Fast food chains are doing well, and so are high end restaurants.  It is this middle category that is affected by consumer adjustments. Is it possible we now have a working U.S. Congress? They passed 50 measures in May, and all became public laws .
