"Federal officials are seeking an aggressive work schedule to construct President Trump's triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, which includes a 20-hour-a-day work schedule over two to three years, according to documents published on the Federal Register this week.
The construction phase could last up to 11 months and "would require several tower cranes, forklifts, skid steers, drill rigs, and concrete pumping systems," National Park Service documents filed to the federal register said. "Work would occur year-round, with work occurring in two 10-hour shifts per day (20 hours per day, year-round) for the duration of the construction period."
It doesn’t. Hendricks just came out with a gin that’s infused with orange blossoms and cocoa nibs. Get yourself to a good bar and taste the good stuff.
Mary Wickes did play a few maids but in Now Voyager she is playing the nurse to the nasty mother. She also played a nurse in The Man Who Came to Dinner. And before Sister Act she had already played a nun in The Trouble with Angels and the sequel Where Angels Go Trouble Follows. Mary Wickes could always be counted on to liven up a movie or show. Splendid Actress.
Yeh, in practically her first line she says "My name is Pickford. Dora, not Mary. I'm the nurse.. . . " With slip-ups like this how are we to maintain our belief in the unfalliniliy of the internet,
When a Dem is president: Officials doubt the war will end for years as no objectives have been met. Is it time we allow the heroic R party to run this fiery shitsshow again?
And now, if you've heard about the racist knuckleheads going house to house attacking strangers and setting cars on fire in Belfast, Northern Ireland - here's something to counteract that:
Thousands of people hold anti-racism march in Belfast

Ms. O works with chain mail. She made a chain mail clutch purse.
That reminds me of the improvised breakfast machine in "Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure".
right there with ya on the crocheting, robyn, but can't do the g&t due to pending surgery, dammit.
Ta, Robyn. I just watched the I Love Lucy clip. Lucille Ball was amazing at physical comedy, and Wickes was perfect.
I'm sorry, Robyn, I just don't think I can knit gin in public yet. I'm amazed I can do it at all!

He really wants more things for us to demolish once he is gone impeached and removed/croaks.
I was wondering what the payback for the Kennedy Center fiasco would be.
This will be easy to take down.
Mrs. 🦡🍄🐍 is knitting in the park today. When I sent her this link, she responded “BRING ME SOME GIN BITCHEZ!!!”
I know way too much about gin. AMA.

Why does it taste like Christmas tree water?
It doesn’t. Hendricks just came out with a gin that’s infused with orange blossoms and cocoa nibs. Get yourself to a good bar and taste the good stuff.
I will do that before the end of the summer! Thank you!
Is the best gin made from sloe berries?
No. It's made from tasty things you like.
Okay, then. Thank you, fren.
"Worldwide Knit In Public Day"

I went to a Catholic girls school just a few miles from an orphanage where some of the exteriors for The Trouble with Angels were shot.
We all must have seen those movies a dozen times, in part because Hayley Mills movies were the only ones really pitched to girls 10-16.
Nurse or nun!!!

It is happening again...
I’m impressed that no one has yet made the pedantic point that the Holy Roman Empire is not the Roman Empire about which Certain People obsess.
A Wonk down-thread noted that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire ; )
I did see that, but it is a quip, not centuries of temporal difference.
Now that I think about it, a bunch of Franks claiming to be Roman is equivalent to what’s going on today.
Indeed. ; )

Again, fuck the Tennessee Republicans.
Is it possible to double-fuck the Tenneessee Republicans? Because I don't think doing it once would make a dent in their delusional thinking.
We can fuck them off all the way into the Sun!🌞
Miep was such a beautiful kitty!
