That'll be quite the auction some day.
I had a second cousin out around Quanah who literally had fields of old cars. He was always going to get around to them one day. He once bought a giant Ford dump truck at an auction for $60 because he noticed it had a brand new battery in it. Parked the truck, pulled the battery. He could fix anything. He was greatest generation and served as a boiler tender on the USS Kadashan Bay during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. He could fix anything. I remember someone stopping by and asking for a cigarette. This was in the mid 1980s. He went out to one of those old cars and pulled out his duffle bag from when he mustered out of the Navy in 1946 and gave them to the guy. They burned right quick. When he died, the auction of those cars went on for days. While I knew him, so 70s to just a few years ago, he restored exactly two cars: a Model T and a pretty hot early 60s Chevy. Man I wish I had pics of that pasture.

Pete Hegseth will skip the next meeting of countries that support Ukraine with weapons and other security assistance — the first time the group will meet without a U.S. defense secretary attending.
All this is true. I heard a law professor on NPR yesterday and she was quoting everything quoted above re the 12th and 22nd Amendments. She finished with the following point, and I paraphrase:
So? Who is going to stop this person who has so far not been bound by Constitutional laws and norms? Is the most ineffectual and compliant Republican Congress ever going to stop him? Is there an expectation that he will suddenly say to himself, "Well, now I've just gone too far."? There is nothing in what we know of him so far that would lead anyone to believe this to be the case. So we should expect the unthinkable, as that's what we've witnessed from him so far.
Tell me you don’t know where the B-52s are stationed without telling me you don’t know where the B-52s are stationed. I’m old enough to remember seeing this same sight- a BUFF on final in its unique nose down attitude- all the time in Fort Worth.
