Dubya looks like a saint and a genius these days.
Crocus. But it’s still too early here in northern Illinois.

Another heartache for Caroline. She’s had so many.

Because a lot of us have been boycotting since January.
I’m on the other side of the Atlantic bit surely looks delicious.
I find it hard to trust what MTG is saying.
This makes me so sad. I hope she can find a way to complete her PHD.
So much needed research will be slowed or not done at all. Young gifted people may move to other countries to have opportunities. What a setback for the US. As a baby boomer it breaks my heart.
Jacob’s reporting from Chicago has been excellent.
