Trent Telenko thinks the Russians have reached a culmination point too, meaning they are no longer capable of offensive operations. Hope he's right. He knows a lot more than me.

The Bachelorette Party Comes for Scottsdale.

The Bachelorette Party Comes for Scottsdale
Local hot-air balloon and desert Jeep tour outfitters are crawling with groups of women belting out Katy Perry songs and only occasionally throwing up.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — On a recent Friday afternoon, at a $5 million mansion turned short-term rental property just outside Scottsdale city limits, God’s perfection revealed itself as elements of the natural and synthetic world collided at Marissa Sklar’s bachelorette party.

The clear blue infinity pool sparkled. The baby pink letter balloons arranged to read “Sayonara Sklar” stayed aloft despite the fact that it was 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The desert flora in the distance provided what everyone agreed was a pretty decent Instagram backdrop. At approximately 3:30 p.m., one of two cabana boys who had been hired at a rate of $500 for two hours poured champagne directly into a bridesmaid’s open mouth.

Fourteen women had come to the house, in neighboring Paradise Valley, Ariz., to celebrate Ms. Sklar. A 29-year-old account executive from Hoboken, N.J., she would be marrying a nice guy named Andrew Levine, also 29, in three weeks. Most in her party had never been to Arizona before, let alone Scottsdale. But they took to their environs like ducks to pristine water, splashing around on the pool deck of their rental home — $7,300 for three nights — in what has swiftly become a bachelorette-party capital of the West, if not the entire country.

As her cousins, sister and favorite college roommate played flip cup with the shirtless cabana boys, Ms. Sklar explained that she originally wanted to travel to Las Vegas for the event. But the logistics proved to be too complicated, given the size of her group, and other possible locations had to be axed from the list, too.

If a cabana joy can earn $500 for two hours maybe I should consider this. Hmmm.

The Every Once in a While Patron!

From today's NY Times:

Mr. Zelensky added that he hopes many words that have become common in Ukraine will one day be relegated to the past. Words such as filtration, deportation and torture. But he also used the milestone to offer inspiration. “When we hear the word ‘Patron,’ we remember the most famous sapper of Ukraine,” he said, referring to the bomb-sniffing dog he awarded with state honors last month.
