The Ambushers, published in 1963, Donald Hamilton’s sixth Matt Helm spy thriller. Helm has to assassinate a rebel leader and rescue an American agent. Lots of double-crosses and moral murkiness and some scores to settle. Superb spy fiction.

Tuesday paws, neatly arranged by Baby Kitty. To the left, Jellybean has a cameo.
Good morning from southern California, friends near and far.

Palm Springs carspotting today. I pulled into a parking spot at Aldi and had this rare (to me, anyway!) Porsche 944 cabrio for a neighbor. (There's a view from behind in the first comment)
A white convertible with a navy top and interior is one of my very favorite color combinations for a car -- my e30 convertible was the same.

Armistead Maupin, author of my beloved "Tales of the City" books and screenplays, has had a blog for a few months.
This story was just published, about his very first gay experience in the summer of 1969. It's sweet. There are about 10 "episodes" so far, all of them in his signature storytelling style.
For all my fellow car enthusiasts, he included this photo with his Sunbeam Alpine.

#Cardle has now had two days in a row of "Cars My Husband Has Owned."
Tomorrow if it's a VW Arteon or a BMW X5, you'll know they're in cahoots.

There is only one good self serve wand-type carwash in the Coachella Valley. After giving my car the special attention it deserves, I found today's carspotting subject. It's a first generation VW Rabbit diesel hatchback.
This one's in really nice daily driver condition. I had a gas-powered 1974 Rabbit, bought new very soon after they were introduced, yellow like this one but a lighter shade.

Today's in-the-wild carspotting: a really well-kept Z3.

Your challenge: review "The Devil Wears Prada 2" without resorting to "that's all," especially as your closing line.
(Looking at you, #NewYorker )
(We have tickets for Saturday afternoon, we plan our whole YEAR around it.)

RE: https://flipboard.com/@wired/video-3revfhq4z/-/a-C1VeelArQq-DOxE4_umjHQ%3Aa%3A3199480-%2F0
Watch this 17 min. video. It reveals the violent actions, but more importantly, the *names* of the federal agents who committed violence last fall
Wired doesn't allow me to share articles from my subscription, but this is powerful investigative journalism. It took a release-of-information lawsuit, plus hours and hours of work to unmask some of the worst federal offenders.
THIS is how real journalism works.

Only 19 years ago, HP offered costly high-bandwidth videoconference rooms, hosted at their offices, under the Halo brandname. You would book time, connect to colleagues in a similar room in another location, and "sit" across the table. It was a big deal, with a dedicated HP video network. Thanks to fiber and 5G, it's obsolete now and you do it from your phone for free.
Your Signal call, thanks to the miracle of infrastructure.

We are used to hot weather in the southern California desert, so today's high is manageable. But it's a normal high temperature for July, it feels like our cooler late winter days have been snatched away!
