Two things about this picture:
1. Trump's face. He seems to be trying *really* hard to scowl and look mean, like Obama did, to Putin. (All roads lead to Obama, or Russia)

This was yesterday at Mt Tabor dog park. Those colors caught my eye and the photo captures them well. Magical light at Mt Tabor is one of the many reasons I love the place so much. And that's Crumbles.

This might be overstating things just a wee bit. I'm pretty sure they did not in fact *recreate* the birth of the universe in the lab, fiery or not. I'd maybe fiery whoever wrote that headline; the Pope would not approve.
