I personally liked the reference to Calvinball, but that’s only worth one vote at this Supreme Court.

In real terms, I have to stop well before 600 miles. 300 mile range is fine for me as long as charging stations have coffee and restrooms! πŸ™„

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

This is like someone asking me, "What is constipation?" and I then vividly describe an endless fountain of diarrhea.
