I’m going to cheat and write I attended an event, but only from my chair and through the NFHS network that covers soccer and basketball, baseball, etc – many sporting events I can’t attend in person.

Donald Trump has issued an executive order for Vice President (sic) JD Vance to work with Congress to rid the Smithsonian Museum and National Zoo of “improper ideology” that is “inconsistent with federal law.”

We don’t have laws that ban “improper” ideology. We have laws that PROTECT ideology.

Among the exhibits Trump wants to ban are those in the American Women’s History Museum that “recognize men as women in any respect.” The order also calls out an exhibit on race and sculpture at the Smithsonian.”

A pot well used, not a looker

Always a sign of a good cooker

Nothing against pretty but I like pottery

Heavy crocks not for me now, I’m a bit tottery.

Breathy whispers and the flushed beauty of her expression caused the man in the mirage seem friendly and romantic. She had fled the sanctuary of a pleasant dream, falling into the abyss of seductive longing. Only the petals of the apple blossoms landing on her face woke her. As she raised up into the sunlight she realized the sensual hallucinations were a grim sham.
