These days my lazy eyes keep suggesting the craziest things. Saw "Des miliciens masqués, violents" as musiciens, violonistes at a quick glance.

always was. That song sums it up for me. Years back, remember seeing serious faced adults singing about the pimple on the Pope's bum to celebrate/state some supposed faith-based superiority.

All the brave proddies from Ulster will be strutting their colours around, beating their drums and singing 🎶O the Pope he had a pimple on his bum, And it nipped, nipped, nipped very sore. He sent for King Billy to rub it with a lily, And it nipped, nipped, nipped no more.🎶

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I love the way each grape variety has different autumn colours so you end up with the countryside covered by an Autumn quilt of many colours.

Diversity bulks it all out so well. Yes to roast lamb or beef with all their accompaiments, to pork with its crackle. But it needs the UK's adopted Jamaica patties, pasta and pizza dishes, Indian and Chinese feasts, kebabs and mezes to fill out the weeks and months of happy UK-side munching.

No clime? Would guess the fires and high temperatures will have made lots of extra work for medics given the current death toll. + This is holiday time. Better to wait until September to fall ill.

Trump wants to stop voting by mail, but the only way we can get a new passport is by sending current non-expired passports in the US mail and then wait for new passports to come through the mail. If the mail is so insecure why does the passport system rely on it?
