I read that as legos the first time. Thought it was a odd trend.

Look for lesser known attractions and walk the streets at random if the crowds at the more famous tourist sites get oppressive. In summer the famous destinations are ruined by their own popularity.

I suspect that more taxpayer money will be spent cleaning up after DOGE than any imagined savings.

My dog would still eat it.

And if buying the cookies costs less than making them, why don't bakeries reduce cost by buying their cookies from other bakeries rather than making their own...😆

And as a student I seldom missed class or handed anything in late. Pure subconscious guilt.

I have a recurring dream that it is the end of the semester and I've missed most sessions of a class and forgotten to do any of the assignments.

Hi. I'm new here, so I think I will start with a picture of Casper. He is a Bernedoodle and turns one year old in 12 days.
