Apparently Amazon is now delivering bird cage liner in dog shit bags. #WaPo #Amazon #Bezos

We cancelled delivery a year ago, but apparently the distributor figured we needed a self-addressed envelope for tipping.

Nothing new for him. She was squirming in her seat like a hostile witness. All verklempt because she forsook her oath.

The comments are rich. Homestead is not a friendly place. Not for White Americans. Imagine a Qatari jet mechanic going to the Albertsons to shop. I had the sheriff called on me for going to a public boat landing.

Robert Reich is 4'11". Pretty certain he would be as good of a President as anyone in America but we are obsessed by height, male or female. I'm not so pleased about height being used as a cudgel.

Gorgeous.

It can't be a conscience alone that is motivating Massie. Nothing necessarily nefarious, but something has to motivate him personally about this to swim so hard upstream.

Great Blue Heron (approximately 30 ft) over the Little Patuxent River. #birds

Square framing. The bulk of the frame is filled by the skeleton of an old, dead tree, at least 40 feet in height. Two main branches extend to the right from the main trunk, the lower of the two being longer. Two-thirds along the bottom branch a Great Blue Heron Stands on one leg, neck extending up. Visually, it appear as though the heron closes off a trapezoid, as its head appears to be at the end of the shorter, top branch. The background sky is pale blue.

Evidently my attempt at humor did not convey. The 87-88 percent snark was aimed at the 90 percent, clearly an arbitrary number. And the "technically" refers to the enumeration of 1980 as the end of the 1970's. I blame it on the Yankees.

Probably closer to 87 or 88%. Especially if you exclude 1980, technically speaking.😉

For over 30 years I trusted the Washington Post. Since Bozo Bezos bought it the trust is gone. They are running cover for Trump at any cost. Amazon uber alles, Jeff? #WashingtonPost #Bezos #Amazon
