Every ballet fan has seen “Swan Lake”.

But have you seen “T. Rex Lake”?

I think the Obama library looks like a COBRA DANE radar.

Beautiful rose Neo. Do you happen to know the name?
It is very similar in color to my Abraham Darby, a David Austin English Rose. A great rose as it thrives and actually acts as a small climber here in Hawaii.
Mine is in full bloom right now and I see it out my kitchen window. It was in full bloom only four weeks ago and is looking gorgeous again.
OMG. Just looked it up and one of the parents is the climber ‘Aloha’. Perfect.

Neo-
Your roses are indeed particularly beautiful.
I love peonies, but my climate is too warm for them. Meh !

I call the Obama Library Flakturm 175.

That’s for Section 175 in the German penal code of 1871.

Not an attractive erection.

The 300B is REPARATIONS.

It’s what LOSERS pay (*) when they LOSE so as to repair the damage and symbolically pay for (I dunno) things like immolating little schoolgirls. Radical concept!

Would you like me to make up some flash cards?

* Likely will be pro-forma extorted by US out of the Gulf Monarchies… but de facto extorted out of them by the Iranians since ability of USA to DEFEND said Gulf states has been proven to be that of the paper tiger variety.

Taking full advantage of the Open Thread. I’m at a bar and the topic of conversation is the taping of the ceremonies opening the Obama center. They seem excited about watching it later. Just needed to say that to people who will understand.

Vance addressed the 300B in his WH presser today. It’s much as neo said, utterly [pie-in-the-sky] prospective investment by Gulf State private ventures if, and only if, Iran behaves, Carrot, in other words.
