This is just A little rock, but it was a cute idea for tourism. It's quartz, so it stays in my backpack.

Well, there's a Little Rock and a Big Rock, and they're both in the same stretch of the river. The Little Rock, they taught us in fifth grade, was easier for the explorers to get off their boats at, so that's why it became the stopping point and landmark. La Petit Rouche.

Whee! They just think they're aggressive drivers in Little Rock. I will Houston right across their hood if necessary.

"Mercury opposition Mars: You will not be as diplomatic and calm as usual, and you will also tend to be stubborn."

Shrink is going to get an ass-chewing for bad advice a while back and bad advice recently.

"Brace for challenges once Luna opposes Mars later this afternoon, and consider taking a step back to reclaim stamina before tackling hurdles."

We, too are Hurricane Jerry, off-kilter but pushing through the headwinds, possibly recombobulating before strafing the East Coast.

"Moon conjunction Mars: Expect increase in sexual energy and the desire to lead."

An Italian lady flirted with us yesterday while we were paying our property taxes and also a pretty deputy.

I was truly impressed yesterday with my Middle Niece's ability to rapid-fire excoriate someone informedly. Uncle Alvin imprinted heavily on that one.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
