Thank you; this was a good and helpful piece to read on a day when, in all likelihood, those of us in the USA who have been endeavoring to restore justice and truth to our Presidency are going to be informed that we’ve failed.

Every picture tells a story
By and large, I’ve tried not to be a diet bore over the last year and not blog about the big weight loss campaign. However, before and after photographs are now looking rather dramatic. I rather like looking at these two pics side by side:   The one on the left was taken about a…
