Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

But - sorry Martin - the music didn´t match my feelings.
So I was free to put some other on it.

This scene captures the quiet magic of Tokyo’s unplanned, human-scaled backstreets—where cars are welcome only as guests, weaving their way gently through pedestrians and cyclists. Streets like these remind us that vibrancy and human connection are at the heart of every truly liveable, lovable city.

Minneapolis built more housing than any other major Midwest city & it’s not a mystery why.
They allowed modest density housing types city-wide, cut regressive parking mandates, and made it easier to build apartments near transit.
The results: more homes + slowed rent growth.
