Here’s art by Mother Nature, formed by the wind and icy conditions along Lake Michigan at Tescornia Park, near the city of St. Joseph. Locals call them “Hoodoos.”

After 80 years this statue of Teddy Roosevelt, deemed racist, has been removed from the grounds of the Museum of Natural History:

Remember little Baron Trump? 15, he’s now six-seven!

I’d argue with those who claim Quid Pro Joe’s first year was a total failure. He’s succeeded in taking the USA several more steps toward socialism, and that was/is the left’s goal. It’s amusing how he’s promoting himself as a champion of civil rights, when his history shows the exact opposite.

Remember the ghastly term the military used to describe the unavoidable — collateral damage? I wonder if the left looks at the rise in violence their policies have engendered in a similar light.

Learned something new today. Dunbar’s Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain a stable social relationship. It’s 150, which seems very high. Maybe it depends on a loose definition of relationship. The figure was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar.

The madness continues, headline from foxbusiness.com: “Mars Inc. announces M&Ms characters will be redesigned for more ‘progressive’ world.” The left won’t even let folks enjoy candy in peace.

The book shop opened two hours late. I put out only Russian books and left an hour later without having made a sale. Can’t complain — no snow accumulation, and another day closer to spring.
