Although pro-vaccination, a friend had grown weary of the subject post-COVID and declined to get the shingles vaccine at the recommended age of 50. The vaccine is 90% effective at preventing shingles and lessens the severity of the attack for the ten percent who do get it. Before long, she got such a bad case of the painful blisters along her spine that she needed more than the standard shingles treatment. Needless to say, she regretted not getting the vaccine. Luckily, shingles is rarely fatal.

Apparently, it’s “No Mow May.” Keeping up with these new “official” additions to the yearly calendar is hard. I struggle to remember the usual holidays. Fortunately, No Mow May is a no-brainer for me. Every month is a holiday away from mowing because several years ago, I removed my lawn and replaced it with plants that do not need to be mowed.

“Dumbgerous,” a word coined by a 13-year-old friend, is a handy term for something both stupid and harmful. Not only should it be added to the English lexicon, Dumbgerous Awards should be bestowed on an annual basis. It’s only May, but there are strong contenders for 2025. Last week, a divided Colorado Supreme Court decided to let a lawsuit by local government officials proceed against Suncor and ExxonMobil, accusing them of causing global warming and harming the city and county of Boulder.

What keeps us from jailing the innocent and freeing the guilty? A little thing called due process; the government must follow established legal procedures when prosecuting crimes. People are entitled to formal charges, legal representation, the presentation of evidence, a jury trial, and other guarantees. The 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution make it clear no one can be deprived due process, no one. Someone tell President Trump.
