Random Thoughts: As The New Week Dawns....


It was great to see the Community in Action as many came out in support of the Niguel Botanical Preserve here in my hometown of Laguna Niguel.    We planted, spread mulch, spread gravel on pavements, pulled weed and worked under direction of the team of Volunteer supervisors which spend    It has been quite a day though as I have been assessing the French Elections as the first round is done and the split in France mirrors the split in the United States.    Israel's Haaretz said it well:  Front-lines of Western politics redrawn Last Night in France.    The run-off is in Two weeks with the fate of the European Union hanging in the balance.   As I write this, my money is on Macron as he will be the Next President of France--as the Polls in France have been on the money.   The people have turned away from the traditional parties--and it is fascinating to be witness to it all.
