That was going on when he was down in Alabama recently. I would suggest building a wall around Alabama rather than along the US-Mexico border, but then I remember Alabama Shakes. But they have some pretty weird folks down there, that's for sure.

Alan, didn't Aunty Beeb say this latest vote is not legally binding? So, if it isn't legally binding, why bother? And the conservatives are hot and bothered about staying in the customs union. And the backstop remains a problem. What a godawful mess! In fact, I think this qualifies as a FUBAR!

Ah. So, you're saying these dogs won't hunt? Can't say as I'm sorry. Getting mighty tired of hearing about both of them. Like my Aunt Patty always says, "Either pee or get off the pot!"
I don't know, but the writers are doubtful, and I am inclined to hope they are right. It might be interesting to see how much money they raise in small donations during the first 24 hours after they announce (assuming that they do).
Currently on book two of a mystery series called Paws and Claws. The first book is Murder She Barked and the second, The Ghost and Mrs. Mewer. Our young heroine moves back to her grandmother's inn in the peaceful tourist town of Wagtil in the mountains of Virginia. The nearest large town with an M.E. is Roanoke, so this must be the general part of Virginia my dad's from. Holly, our heroine, has been adopted by a Jack Russell terrier named Trixie and a calico kitten named Twinkletoes, hence paws and claws, who help her investigate local murders and other strange and sinister occurrences. Very good for light weight reading.
An e-mail answer to my question about why Bernie doesn't have a web page--Alan
"We will have a full website with an issues page soon, and the campaign will be releasing many detailed policy proposals over time elaborating on how Bernie will accomplish his priorities.
In the meantime, you can submit your policy question via the following form and we will do our best to get you an answer as soon as we can: https://bsanders.us/questionform. (We may not get back to you immediately because of the volume of questions we have received, but we will try to respond to everyone.)
You can also view Bernie’s YouTube page [Click], where we've published hundreds of videos of Bernie discussing issues across the country. He answers many policy questions in those videos, which might address your question directly."
I think I will work on my current Art project some more this evening. It is a three-part project, starting with a representational drawing of my hand, then an abstract form of same, then finally non-representational. Three textures, three values (of dark/bright). I have the rough sketches of the first two, but next need to transfer them to the good drawing paper; not sure if I will use a light box or not; maybe a layer of graphite on the back, then tape in place on the paper and transfer with a stylus. The third version I can do directly. Will experiment with color, hatching, and breaking things up like cubism. Should be fun. I actually did a fairly good drawing of my hand in pencil.
Bernie is first!

It isn't clear to me which latest vote is not legally binding, or to what degree it is or isn't. But FUBAR it certainly is.
