The observance of Black History Month has been muted — due in part to all of the dysfunction that has been displayed.
Boris Kushnerkov and Natasha Fatway celebrated the outbreak of Maga flu they had spread across the Canadian border to Frostbite Falls. Victims of the flu compulsively chant “Lock Her Up” or “Build a Wall” when led by the Mayor of Frostbite Falls.
The thing I hate about riding buses is the “not riding” part. It’s the part where I’m standing at the bus stop, staring back up the street, longingly, hoping to catch a glimpse of a bus heading my way.
What a great country we live in. There’s no better place in the world to pursue happiness. Happiness is always a work in progress. Be content where you are today — but always pursue.
What would move him to drive straight through from Phoenix to Seawolf Park’s Galveston Naval Museum? Well, a Ford pickup, with a stove and huge refrigerator in the back. But what motivated him is a longer, more interesting story.

Reports after Ike Dike meetings sounded like people don’t want it. But the issues are with barrier placement, not the Army Corps of Engineers’ strategy. The strategy is sound — create a coastal spine to protect against storm surge and increased water levels in the bay.
