For posterity...

I propose that when the regime implodes and we move forward a law must be passed that suspends the enfranchisement of any 2020 Trump voter for one four-year election cycle. These people misused their vote like a gun owner misuses their gun. No vote for you, MAGA. #MAGA

For years generations of Carolina Wrens have made our garage their home. Nests have been made and abandoned all over, including inside baseball mitts. So I figured a new blue house was more than deserved. It's hanging right next to their current home. #birds #Porsche #Boxster
