Arizona US senators to introduce bill expediting North Rim reconstruction Arizona’s U.S. senators plan to introduce a bill designed to fast-track reconstruction on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park following last summer’s Dragon Bravo and White Sage fires.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most treasured places in the world and an important part of Arizona’s economy, but wildfires devastated much of the North Rim last year. My new bill will help speed up the rebuilding and revitalization efforts.

Staplers are actually in Pseudosuchia, making them more closely related to crocodiles than to dinosaurs.

The house had three gables and the centre of the building was set back a little from the sections on either side, like the roast beef in a sandwich that does not come all the way to the crust.

Cheerfully stolen.

Four-cell cartoon by Li Chen: 1. A MAGIC CARPET! A rug floats in mid air near a sign that says “SALE 50% OFF” 2. UNTHREAD IT - a woman in glasses kneels and pulls a thread out of the rug, which feeds into a pile of wool. A cat peers out from the pile of wool. 3. KNIT IT AGAIN - the woman sits in an armchair, knitting furiously, as the cat observes her from the top of the chair. 4. TAKE TO THE SKIES BUT ALSO TOASTY - the woman smiles as she floats past clouds and birds, wearing a patterned sweater
