Lying scumbag. Every person Trump brings into the administration lies like a rug. It's disgusting.

I call the number and both carrier (Fi) and Amtrak tell me there is a 10 minute wait. I can press '2' to get a call back. Pressing '2' does nothing. I continue to hear insipid muzak interspersed with ads for Amtrak services. After several looks, I hang up.

Can I whine about Amtrak?

I'll go with the horseshoe crab. 250 million years for the "modern" version and 445 million years for the not-modern variant. And they're true blue bloods!

Jump scare! 😬

Big box of disposable diapers in the trunk when SWMBO returned from shopping. 😱 (We're both 72, but still...)

They're for a food pantry donation at the local church.

Giant puffballs. They first show up about the size of a tennis ball. Then they grow to the size of a soccer ball (football for those on the continent.)

Then they disappear. Overnight. When they reach full size.
