Growing up, we always had cans of OJ concentrate in the freezer. But a pest is killing off the Florida orange groves. Plus, with all the energy drinks, kambucha, probiotic and hydration drinks available, OJ just isn't the morning go-to beverage anymore. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

If "not putting our service members in harm's way" is "not hostilities" -- Wouldn't firing ICBMs at other countries from the safety of our missile silos also not be hostilities?

SNAP benefits are issued monthly, not all at once. And the "S" stands for "supplemental" - it's not intended to be enough to buy all the food you'd need for a month, let alone enough to buy a spare month's worth at the same time.

Please enjoy this Klimt Eastwood
The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl Tétreault in 2016. 

It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

#theresidence - I really enjoyed this show! Every time I thought I knew "who dunnit", there was another plot twist. If you have Netflix, definitely watch. There are 8 episodes. The White House room sets are very well done, and the cinematography is fun to watch. Excellent actors, too.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

Random pictures from a recent trip to Florida...
On a sunny day, blue umbrellas and palm trees cast shade over a number of tables and chairs. In the background are a fountain and a large pagoda covered bar.A green and gold metal gecko decoration, on a wall.A large open area in a shopping mall - beneath a tall greenhouse-like glass ceiling a water fountain shoots up, with water cascading down steps into a  pool. In the background are palm trees and ornate Christmas decorations. A night scene - Palm trees trunks and leaves are wrapped with many bright white lights. They look like frozen fireworks going off.
