I love this for Palantir!

Seeing this hermitage seemed wonderful to me. I had never seen a roof that covers the entire building, including the apse. Wonderful in the middle of Nature.♥️ San Juan de Buda. Huesca

The first failed test of many a political reaction post.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.
