Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?

Don’t forget the mulching. Thing is the presence of the guard might deter crime short term (at great cost), but eventually they will go home and crime will spike, probably to higher than pre-guard levels. It’s not a serious solution as my governor says.

It was a step down from Boone’s Farm.

There was a TJ Swan flavor called After Hours same as that bar, so they bought that on purpose. I frequently bought a bottle because I could walk around swigging from it for a while.

I’ve been thinking about lamb a lot lately. We don’t have it often, but I did as a boy. My grandmother made roast lamb with lamb gravy, and my grandfather grilled lamb chops (loin chops as the ribs chops were unavailable back then). We had these about once a month.

I had CNN on for a large portion of the day. I tune Jennings out or leave the room. I don’t know why Jennings is there, it’s not giving an opposing viewpoint, it’s parroting the false propaganda. I stopped watching CNN at 5 when Jake Tapper came on.

I was raised by grandparents. I once asked my grandfather driving at night to turn the overhead light on. He did and then asked what was I looking for. I told him I just wanted to read. I didn’t get to read my book.

That’s not a meal I’ve made for a couple years, but I took pics.

Leg of lamb resting on a bed of vegetables ready to go in the oven. Roast lamb, mashed potatoes with lamb gravy and fresh sweet corn medley.
