I find your fascination with the sexual displays of various flora delightful.😁

The President reaffirmed his commitment to the environment today by recycling Kristi Noem: he removed her as the Secretary heading Homeland Security but installed her as a β€œspecial envoy of a Western Hemisphere security initiative called the β€˜Shield of the Americas.’”

Goodness, no! Why should the tar pit suffer? Besides, burning them would contribute to global warming. An extremely slow, painful, but ecologically friendly demise is more appropriate, after which their remains should be composted.

Sexually assaulting underage girls wasn’t enough. Now he’s dropped bombs on a girls’ elementary school. What a vile, sick, disgusting excuse for a man…

β€œWest L.A. Story” by T.S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time…but then spend another half an hour looking for parking.

Autocorrect on my iPad insists that the 1971 quake in southern California took place in β€œSilmarillion” instead of β€œSylmar.”

It’s always sad when you look at the calendar and see that it’s the birthday of a friend or relative who is now deceased.

On this Groundhog’s Day, Punxsutawney Phil saw not only his shadow, but 10 masked and armed ICE agents, who immediately surrounded him, doused him with pepper spray, handcuffed him, and shipped him off to a detention center in Louisiana.

Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter and 3 more years of Trump, and, cold as it is across most of the country, I’m hoping Phil has swapped the durations.

From NBC News:
β€œThe U.S. has carried out what it called β€˜large-scale strikes’ against ISIS in Syria, U.S. Central Command announced Saturday afternoon.
The strikes […] were part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, which […] was ordered by President Donald Trump on Dec. 19”
