I loved my two drawer dishwasher until it died. I’ve always wondered why we cant find a way for clean dishes to just slide down into cabinets once they are clean and dry from the dishwasher above.
Years ago I read about a retired guy who lived alone, and he installed a second dishwasher next to the first. That way he could just use dishes straight out of the dishwasher, put the dirty ones in the other machine, and never have to put away dishes. This man is a genius. I think about him a lot.

The tune. From the ice cream truck floats on the air followed by a childs scream. Silence as the breeze rattles the leaves. Sunday afternoon in America.
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
As the DoJ tells the court that it will not remove unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, we can only hope they’re telling the truth.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.

From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
