I had measles as a baby, and blood tests when I worked in hospitals confirmed immunity to measles, so I should be OK.

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

Today is #SuperbOwlSunday. In honour of that I'll post a few owl shots, starting with a Long-eared Owl that I encountered recently. I don't know who was more startled, the owl or me, when I walked around the tree and there it was, sitting out in the open! Quick shot and I retreated. #birds #0wls

In the winter, I can’t get to the pedestrian crossing to get to the sidewalk across the road. There is no sidewalk to get to the crossing & the snow & plowed snow is too deep to walk on. I have to rely on a motorist to stop & let me across or just run. At night, at rush hour, this is impossible.

THE ART OF THE DEAL Chapter One When surprised by a bully, the best deal to broker is to get them to agree to something you're already doing. They'll think they've won; you'll not have lost. It will feel ridiculous and it will be ridiculous. But it buys you time to prepare for next surprise.

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional. Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.
