Today at the Editor’s Glance:
Free For All Fridays on WNZF: Host David Ayres welcomes Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord to discuss the hurricane season, which began June 1, starting a little after 9 a.m. with my commentary.
First Friday in Flagler Beach, the monthly festival of music, food and leisure, is scheduled for this evening at Downtown’s Veterans Park, 105 South 2nd Street, from 5 to 9 p.m.
The Chicago Blues Festival was tentatively scheduled to begin today, but will actually begin on June 9.
Notably: You may be in the mood to mark Jefferson Davis’s birthday (1808). We’re not. The 50th anniversary of the ordaining of the first woman rabbi in the United States (Sally Jane Priesand at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City in 1972) is by far worthier of note, to take one example, as would be Allen Ginsberg’s birthday (1926), though Davis has this fitting commemoration in common with this day: it is Ayatollah Khomeini’s death anniversary (1989). It is also National Gun Violence Awareness Day, but the country gave up on that a long time ago.

Once he had returned to his own home, Anders wondered whether the rifle actually made him safer, for he felt he was all alone, and it was better to be non-confrontational than to stand up to trouble, and he imagined that somehow people were more likely to come for him if they found out he was armed, even though they would not find out, even though so many folks were armed, he just had this sense that it was essential not to be seen as a threat, for to be seen as a threat, as dark as he was, was to risk one day being obliterated.
