#WankPanzer , #Swasticar I'm sensing a trend that maybe #Elon's #Nazi gesture was recognized for what everyone said it looked like.

Tho have a flight of 10,000 Snow Geese flying overhead, their white wings sparkling against a grey scudding sky is a sight to behold. The sheer majesty of Nature. Too bad I didn't have a camera.
