Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

Prince George's County getting hit real hard. Please tell everyone of color you know to avoid 295/BWI parkway where federal park police cooperate with ICE. Any parkway under federal rather than local police.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.
There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.
So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.
