Finally rebuilt my spice rack here in Portugal to the point I can make curry powder. Yes, you can buy it, but what else are you using mace for? It goes stale.

Today's adventure in Portuguese food is hot dogs in a jar. I was prepared to be grossed out because they look like medical samples. Nope. Utterly bland, like turkey dogs. Stick with their native bratwurst like sausages.

My windowboxes arrived a week ago. My basil is already sprouting. (I need to find out where to buy pine nuts) I have until 4 September to take my Portuguese language placement test, and cram as much duolingo as possible in advance.

Tomorrow, I might finally head to the beach and get photos of the ocean. It's only 74F/23C tomorrow. Sounds like perfect beach weather. I'd mention that it'll be sunny, tomorrow, but this is Portugal.

Slow day here in Porto, so I took a tour of the Chamber of Commerce. This is the ballroom of the. Chamber. Of. Commerce.

Greetings from sunny (but mild) Portugal. Finally made good my escape yesterday evening, and I'm settling in. This was the view from my plane arriving in Lisbon this morning. There's always another dawn coming.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is threatening to mobilize the US Marines against the citizens of Los Angeles for protesting the armed removal of US persons without warrant or due process.
This is a violation of Posse Comitatus, and a violation of the US Constitution.
