I feel sorry for the sandwich guy losing his job, though. I hope sanity prevails.

Thank you for this, I hadn’t seen them!

DO NOT CHANGE ANY ASPECT OF HOVIS.

I thought about dogs dreaming (and cats do, too), but wondered if that's a more involuntary faculty than imagination. The jury (me) is still out on this one.

I guess in the sense that you can’t aspire to what you can’t imagine. (I wonder if animals have imaginations?)

It's the sort of thing we can all easily believe Bruce would do, though.

One day the eagle will raise his head again. I just hope we all survive to see it.

What did your waking self think of your dream self's statement?

This is honestly for me one of the most evocative things you've ever written. Beautiful.

Luckily I was in the UK at the time and could watch both!

The UK part, I hope. (The US part was OK, but . . . )

The link is to a 2015 story?

I don’t see “impeachment” anywhere . .

The left side is definitely DonOld's wig.
