18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

A quote from a Holocaust doc I saw has always stuck with me. A survivor of the camps said he had no ill feelings toward people in allied countries who didn't believe it was happening. He said "We were there, and we couldn't believe it was happening."

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

“At the delicatessen where I work, the ants got into the sugar bowl. By the end of the day, the sugar bowl was empty, and the ants had moved all the sugar to the other end of the shop. Each one of them did his own little job. Together they emptied the whole sugar bowl. Do you see what I mean?” #TCM

There was something so beautiful about this moment in front of the Naval Memorial when President Carter was transferred to the horse-drawn caisson with the setting sun shining through over his casket.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Long ditch fires along Hwy 60 west of Pawhuska. Several responders scattered along the flames, but not everywhere. Windy day for a controlled burn?
