To call for a "demilitarized" Palestinian state is to call for NO Palestinian state at all.

Old Faithful Geyser going off behind the sign for Old Faithful Geyser.

Who can tell me why we have big massive geysers spouting hundreds of feet in the air in some areas of the park but not in others. Most of it sits over the caldera soooo, why aren't their huge geysers everywhere ?

An English phrase for describing two things (or people) that are completely different is β€œlike chalk and cheese.” A similar phrase in Czech is jako nebe a dudy. It means β€œlike heaven and bagpipes.”

I am in much demand this morning. Both Australian king parrot couples (Alisterus scapularis) are here this morning, and both males insisted on being fed individually.
