One thing I agree with #Trump on is they should start over with #Dulles airport. It’s only about 20 to 25 minutes from our house but it always takes longer just to walk to the gate from the beautiful original building. It’s as though as it expanded they gave contracts to Daedalus and M.C. Escher.

There is a crow that brings a piece of bread to our birdbath, drops it in, waits for it to get soggy, and then starts eating it. It has done this day after day. First of all, who’s leaving out whole slices of bread? Is it sweeping down and robbing someone mid sandwich? Is it baking its own?
