A Sisterhood of Sleuths

The health investigator I was shadowing in Oklahoma City had a “weird skill set” that reminded me of my own.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/health/syphilis-std-united-states.html

Sex education has been deleted from the curricula.
Journalism has also been Bauderalized.
The press must clearly state its principles.
It has allowed those principles to be hidden in the names of entertainment and political expediency.
The news can and should destroy people and institutions.
The reasons for those attacks must be explicitly stated every time.

$2.85 Million Homes in Arizona, Louisiana and Virginia

A minimalist home in Paradise Valley, a renovated early 20-century house in New Orleans and a Georgian-style home in Charlottesville.

People have inflated ideas of what a house is worth.

All of these are grid dependent.

U.S.

Right and Left on the Fractures in the Republican Party

Writers from across the political spectrum take on President Trump’s increasingly contentious relationship with his own party’s congressional leaders.

The Trump coalition is an unnatural act.

Johnny Goes to College

My ex and I on a cross-country drive to drop off our son at school? Um, no problem.

Crosscountry driving can be a pain. 
It is better in cool weather.

I would share it with you.

Texas is suffering.

I will have to build.

Blowing Up When Threatened

Sam Trabucco fills his grid well and, as 1-Across says, I like it.

I stopped worrying about gay.


Travel

How to Get a Good Night’s Sleep at a Hotel

Ask about beds and mattresses when you book a room, request a room on a high floor and unwind before turning out the light.

Good advice.

Science

Drug Aimed at Inflammation May Lower Risk of Heart Disease and Cancer

A milestone finding for researchers, the connection of inflammatory responses to such illnesses could open the door to new treatments.

This is mostly noise.
Doing good studies is necessary.
The manufacturer will not give up.

Food

Afghan Delights, Delicate and Rugged, at Sami’s Kabab House in Queens

The menu is brief and unfussy at this Astoria restaurant, drawing in part from the ancestry of its owner, Sami Zaman, and offering simple, gratifying dishes.

As convenient.

Trump’s Morning Targets: McConnell, Ryan, Obama and the Media

President Trump attacked leaders of his own party for failing to advance his agenda in Congress, calling it “so easy.”

Doing the wrong thing should not be easy.

Opinion

The President Turns On His Own

The very Republican leaders in Congress whom Mr. Trump will need to pass legislation are the focus of much of his ire.

"Never Trump" was a good idea.

Quotation of the Day: Trump’s Feuding With McConnell Becomes Hostile

Food

A Smoky Lobster Salad With a Tapa Twist

This spin on the Spanish pulpo a la gallega skips the octopus, but keeps the sea salt, olive oil, pimentón and boiled potatoes.

I can make that.

Cure Yourself of Tree Blindness

Once you can identify a few species, you find yourself beginning to pay attention.

Living among the trees reduces mowing.

Hunting a Killer: Sex, Drugs and the Return of Syphilis

Outbreaks of a deadly, sexually transmitted disease confound health officials, whose obstacles include drug shortages, uneducated doctors and gangs.

Ignorance is the bottom line.

Right and Left on the Fractures in the Republican Party

Writers from across the political spectrum take on President Trump’s increasingly contentious relationship with his own party’s congressional leaders.

Such fractures should be encouraged.

Style

When’s the Wedding? It Already Happened (Shh).

And: Longtime couple friends disappear without explanation after a spouse dies; letting the bugs in; keeping baby photos off social media.

I have no real knowledge of immigration law.

The time I was an observer on such a problem A call to a sympathetic senator's office lead to a quick and happy resolution.

Opinion

Behold Our ‘Child King’

Republicans need to start thinking of themselves as a shadow government.

We can hope the Trump policies depart with the man.
