I suspect there would be far less support for the death penalty if the executioner were chosen by lot from the general populace. Same way that there would be fewer meat-eaters if you could only legally eat an animal you slaughtered yourself.

Somewhere in China, a rich industrialist is settling down to his great dinner in his McMansion, and explaining to his son, “There are no bad ideas. I built all this by selling twelve-foot-tall skeletons to those crazy Americans.”
WSJ reports today that the Trump Justice Department is investigating whether President Nixon was unfairly targeted by the (mythical) Deep State.
The technical term for this is “bananas.”

September Hiking Summary
Well, hiking and walking. I’d like to get out to the woods for every hike, but the reality of lowered income and rising gas prices means many of my walks are around town. Fortunately Eugene is pretty walkable, and I can even get to the Ridgeline trail system after the first five miles. Anyhow, for September:
- 16 days of 5+ miles
- Longest day 22.1 miles all around Eugene
- 212.2 total miles
- 1820.6 miles year-to-date
