You might have thought that this is a cheerful marigold (which I dare say it is), celebrating my first 4th of July as a bona fide American citizen. On the other hand, given the politics of the day (and the fact that, back in LA, apparently ICE was using the parking lot of Gelsons as a staging post - with Gelsons' approval? - should we still shop at Gelsons, which we only do because it's our closest LA food store?? - and and and), I think it's probably best used in its traditional role as a Dia de los Muertos flower. Oh, and apparently, a couple of days back, ICE raided the flower stalls outside the Forest Lawn cemetery the far side of Griffith Park, and kidnapped seven of the eight men working there. And men from the taqueria stall by Target on Eagle Rock. It does seem like a very deliberate assault on LA.
