I can't stand it, there are way too many foreigners here! So annoying! I'm going to move to another country where perhaps foreigners won't be so bothersome!

Cool voice. "Josipa Lisac, born 1950, is a Croatian and Yugoslav singer whose work has spawned many different genres, from rock and pop to jazz and ethnic music. Known for her unique contralto, Lisac is widely considered one of the most notable female vocalists of the Yugoslav popular music scene."*

I got three notes in the mail. Real, personal mail! Condolences regarding Otis. Two of them were from his hospitals. Each signed by four or five individuals. Not all of them knew him, but they were considerate. The few remaining reminded me of the magnificent being I had in my life.

I walked into the restaurant. I asked to be seated in the smoking section. It sucks, she said they no longer have a smoking section. It totally sucks, they made it illegal to smoke in a restaurant. This means I can finally sit in a smoking section, and they get rid of them!

A young boy moved to a new community. On his first day at the new school, his classmates were glad to welcome him. One boy introduced himself and said his father was a doctor. The new boy said his father was a lawyer. The other boy said, “Honest?” The new boy said, “No, just the regular kind.”

Wouldn't it be more efficient if every law enforcement office just took a break? I am satisfied that Merrick Garland has effectively given MFOTUS carte blanche. Why waste labor, time and money?
