Calah (cockatoo) and I float around the US in a small travel trailer to see pictographs and mounds, to attend Trekkie and Jewish events, to visit Alamo Drafthouses (up to 44), and to see family and friends. 🏏🎺
Schmancy punctuation user, too … : ; – — ‽

We don't name civic projects after live people.

They obviously aren't treats if they are rejected, silly human!
But seriously, even millet? Or does she get seeds as part of her regular diet?

This might be my first year without a bruleé latte since they were first featured. It's agonizing to not be able to go to Starbucks, but solidarity forever!

I'm so sorry! Can't get healthcare without insurance, can't get healthcare with insurance 🤷🏻‍♀️
Have you tried getting a patient advocate? Some of them are highly skilled at finding the faster paths through the quagmire

Menorah is a mem (agent, cause) in front of ner (the root for light), so anything that produces light could be a menorah.
The Menorah at The Temple was seven-branched. We have a type of menorah for Hanukkah with nine branches that we call a hanukiah.

I wouldn't expect that vast majority of Jews to know the distinction, so let's give a few points to the goyim who don't call it a candelabra

Remarkably, there was a lot of curiosity about why donuts and wine & cheese and gelt are traditional.
Deep into research on the Book of Judith, I was fully prepared with explanations.
The only question that struck me as funny was whether John Oliver's Cabernet SauvinJohn is kosher.

Teslas passed stopped school busses during the testing to get approval, and still got approval

Teslas were recently approved for driverless use in Austin. Waymos have been on the roads here for a loooong time

I don't know how it got approval considering that they consistently passed school busses with the stop signs out during testing
