The Daily Parker

The weather forecast for Munich doesn't look horrible, but doesn't look all that great either, at least until Saturday. So I'll probably do more indoorsy things Thursday and Friday, though I have tentatively decided to visit Dachau on Thursday, rain or not. You know, to start my trip in such a way that nothing else could possibly be worse.

Meanwhile, I've added these to yesterday's crop of stories to read at the airport:

• Deciding to be "stabbed, to live to see another day," the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature approved new district maps proposed by Democratic governor Tom Evers that will bring the state house and senate closer in representation to actual voter counts.
• Do anti-abortionists really plan to use the 1873 Comstock Act to prohibit abortions nationwide?
• The US border "crisis" is really opportunistic sabotage by Republicans after years of (mainly Republican) inaction on fixing its growing problems, writes Jerusalem Demsas in The Atlantic.
• Former Bucks County, Pa., school board member Tabitha Dell'Angelo, who served in the minority while Moms for Liberty whack jobs controlled the board, takes two of her rivals to task for quitting just a few weeks after losing the majority.
• Novelist Adelle Waldman warns that big-box retailers mistreat their workers over more than just poverty wages.
• Capital One plans to acquire Discover Card for $35 billion in a deal sure to raise the interest of regulators in Washington.
• Three men are on trial in New York for stealing Don Henley's handwritten lyrics from Eagles' 1976 Hotel California album.

Finally, don't skip your dog's walks. They're very important to her health.
