One of the strangest things we encountered in Scotland is the absence of washcloths in the hotel bathrooms. (I think they're called "flannels" in the UK.) There were bath towels and hand towels, but no washcloths. (Okay, I lie. One hotel had one washcloth, for two people.) We stayed in a variety of hotels, from Residence Inn to Holiday Inn Express to the Best Western Queens Hotel in Perth. We also stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Thurso. So here's my question: How are people cleaning themselves in the shower, without washcloths? (In case you're wondering, I used the hand towel as a washcloth. Talk about unwieldy!)

I shouldn't admit this, but I learned only a couple of days ago how to use the "Bcc" function of my e-mail. I have three boxes: "To," "Cc," and "Bcc." For years, I would send a message to someone using the "To" box and then (occasionally) add additional names to the "Cc" or "Bcc" box. I thought this meant that nobody in any of the boxes could see who else was receiving my e-mail. Katherine informed me recently that this isn't the case. She said that I can put all the names in the "Bcc" box and that nobody, as a result, would know who else got the e-mail. I'm sure that I've never sent an e-mail (until now) with all the addresses in the "Bcc" box, which means that for more than 20 years people were seeing things they weren't meant to see. Ain't technology great?Technology

I got wet during today's ride, but had fun. This picture shows the rain moving in from the right. (Click to enlarge.) Katherine and I got home from Scotland on the evening of 2 June, and I got back on the bike on 4 June (a week ago today). I missed two weeks of riding, but am still on track to have my second-best riding year ever, in terms of mileage. I even have a chance for my best riding year ever (in 36 years). Counting today's ride, I've pedaled 2,635.6 miles in 2016. In the past week (seven days and three hours, to be exact), I pedaled 171 miles. I spent most of Wednesday in bed with a fever of over 101º (food poisoning), but rode Thursday, Friday, and today. How crazy is that? As soon as one ride ends, I start thinking about the next. It's exactly like heroin addiction, but different.

A Night on the Town (1976). I didn't appreciate this song when it was released. It has stood the test of time. By the way, Rod Stewart was just knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He is now Sir Rod.

To the Editor:
Re “President Trump, Unbound,” by Eric Posner (Op-Ed, June 4):
The sad fact is that, if he is elected, Donald Trump will follow in office a president who has shown less regard for the Constitution than any president in history. If a President Trump wants to carry out many of the things he has talked about, he will be able to cite President Obama for actions and ideas that fall well outside our constitutional structure.
Mr. Obama was the first and only president to claim that he had authority to take action on immigration because Congress has refused to do so; the first and only president to have decided for himself when the Senate was actually in recess and made appointments later struck down by the Supreme Court; and the first and only president required to defend a lawsuit by the House of Representatives because he spent funds—in this case on Obamacare—that Congress had never appropriated.

Note from KBJ: To Barack Hussein Obama (our outlaw president), the Constitution is no barrier to action; it's merely a hurdle to be leapt over.

This essay by William Voegeli is worth some of your precious time. If you can't read the whole thing, read the sections entitled "Contest for the Court" and "End of an Era." Get right with Donald.
