Semi-professional curmudgeon. What I lack in enthusiasm, I make up for in complacency. Not the target market for anything.
Good to see you over here.

Certainly the main character is.

No, me either. It's my regular walk. Pretty concerning.

The lemon tree deserved it.

You are rationally angry. That's not a blurb. It's a blaarghb.

At this stage, it is more efficient to just assume everything they do is a crime until proven otherwise.

The independence of DOJ is not on question. It is quite clear they are Trump's vengeance machine.

As an outsider, I watch and wonder how the US ever comes back from this. Replacing Trump is not enough. It's repairing institutions, restoring trust domestically & internationally, and it's ensuring every single one of the enablers is held to account & prevented from ever doing damage again.

Haven't heard from the cafe owners yet either. Are they losing their influence?

They must have known an ice cream influencer was around

Whoever wrote that is an idiot

I don't believe this US government would object

I just say curmudgeon. They don't bother you then. Or, if they do, Plan B involves my opinion.

Poor, sweet Susan, full of Christmas cheer, recently enjoyed this wonderful opportunity.

Tough competition on that one. I gave serious consideration to oiling the deck yesterday with the unopened oil and brush I bought last year for that purpose.
