It always stops short of totally covering the window with about an inch further to go. It is too short. When I woke up this morning there was a flat grey line of light streaming into the room through the gap left by the too short shade. So, I spent some time shoveling this morning. Probably sooner than I ought to have since it’s still coming down. It’s 80ish de … ⌘ Read more

Canada Announces Bombshell Break With U.S. Over Trump

_Stephan: MAGAt monarch Trump is singlehandedly destroying a 200-year-old friendship and working partnership between the United States and Canada.
