I gave out Glo-sticks along with candy last night, which were surprisingly popular. Jasper was intrigued.

Letter from National Trust informing Trump that he’s required to go through a legal review process.

Letter from National Trust informing Trump that he’s required to go through a legal review process.

One part of the letter sent to Trump by the National Trust that the media seems to jump right past is that the trust wasn’t asking Trump to pump the brakes out of courtesy. Trump simply broke the law in destroying the East Wing and building his gaudy ballroom.

If the owner died, the family donated the books instead of trashing them in hopes that someone else would enjoy them. Don't feel guilty.

Works best if you sautΓ© shrimp and veggies separately, then add pesto. Thin it with some pasta water if needed.

Shrimp with pesto sauce over pasta. Quarter cup of pesto, 1 pound shrimp, 12 oz pasta, grated parmesan to taste. Can add sauteed mushrooms, bell pepper, onions, etc.

Rebecca Solnit said this is in Toronto, not Portland (see, no guns). Also, bagels would work better than doughnuts, as the strings would cut through the doughnuts after a couple of swings.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.
