On second thought, we met with our financial guys yesterday. They told us we weren’t spending enough money, which felt pretty weird. We live pretty high on the hog as far as I’m concerned, but with my side consulting we haven’t touched our IRAs in seven years of retirement. Maybe I do need one.

Thanks guys!

And control. They want to know who is pregnant. They want to know who has guns. etc.

Republicans seem to believe that the bad consequences will not affect them.

I can't think that Eleanor had anything but good intention in her support of the UN but what a mess.

@dolmansaxlil I grew up believing in the rights enshrined in our Constitution, especially First (freedom of speech, separation of church and state, others) and Fourth (warrant required, no presumption of guilt). The current environment often makes no rhyme or reason in comparison, and that's an understatement. Some people want to nuke the earth to go to heaven. I mean I'll just say it. And these same people are trying to impose Christian nationalism in the US.

Please post pictures. I just researched the Sagrada Família in some detail a few weeks ago. Fascinating.
