Trump's White House demolition reminds me of the old saying "It's better to say you're sorry than to ask permission." But of course he won't apologize for anything.

The wild parrots are back in the neighborhood. They never seem to hang out here for more thsn a couple of weeks. It's fun to hear their chatter while they're here. Not everyone agrees with that statement but screw 'em.
