  Well, I can think of ONE more thing to say. Dems need to show this posting around the clock all over the country and let people - as if any still had any doubt - know who Trump is. 

  Things you miss.  Not friends, family, or pets, but things that are no longer, or are on the way out.  For Bunny, it is the demise of comics in the newspapers.  Seems that after Dilbert was pulled because the author was a jerk, comics have been on the way out.  Nothing left here.    Will also put the lack of novelty songs on the radio.

Yep.  A six-foot, 17,000-pound rock came down over Medina, Ohio (about 45 miles south of us), and exploded.  It was moving at 45,000 miles per hour.  Which means that a day ago, it was four times as far away as the Moon. Wow! So later on, I'm looking at the newsfeeds for our local channels on Facebook.  And what do I see? Folks want to know why NASA wasn't tracking it. People want to know where it landed. People are sure this was an Iranian missile and the government just doesn't want us to panic. Riiiight. A six-foot rock hits the atmosphere at 45,000 miles an hour and peopl...
