Sure, yeah, this totally makes me feel safe. Why does everything this administration does to "combat anti-semitism" feel so much like anti-semitism? Could it be all the xian nationalists? Yeah, probably. (

It's hard to think about retiring from racing, because mushing is, and will always be, a huge part of my life. So I took a journey with my older dogs, who have retired themselves. They've taught me so much over the years; now, they're teaching me to live with change.

A month after 5" of snow and 2-3" of sleet fell, and DC still has plenty to go around. Though I guess the Capitol Beautification Committee realized that a mountain of dirty snow would still be an improvement over the current majority, so that's a plus.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Sigh. I sit down to eat lunch in the Potbelly right off Pennsylvania Ave (yay, jury duty) and this photo is over my table. So I can spend lunch ruminating on the now-destroyed colonnade. At least the food is good.
