Reporting the first without mentioning the second seems like journalistic malpractice.

Of course Trump gets good job numbers. They just don’t mean anything at all.

Wasn’t me!
A sign with an arrow to the right and the text „Did you push the ‚Last Passenger‘ Button?“. It sounds a bit reproachful, but that may just be me.

Today’s „things I do for fun on holiday“: Oh, a bridge.
Ponte tibetano in Castelsaraceno from below. You can only see a small band with two people on it against a blue sky with a few clouds. Ponte tibetano in Castelsaraceno from the start, the bridge in the center and the village at the left side Two feet, standing on Ponte tibetano in Castelsaraceno, from above. The steps are as wide as the feet, far below are tree tops.

This is on the side of the building where the tourist information of my hometown is. Yes, it says „Built in 1344-1345.“

I still think they only put the tourist office there to fuck with American tourists.

Yes, she’s really funny, and very much a cat person. With a strong preference for Maine Coon, but we can‘t all be perfect. (Says my cat. (Who is a Norwegian forest cat.))
