Correct. However, note he's wearing a MAGA cap.

Here's a random thought. What a different sort of night. I was sitting in the family room watching the Sri Lanka test and reading Facebook and the forums. At about 8:40, total darkness - a power blackout. It had been 34 deg today and was still quite hot.I had a fan on and it died of course. Emergency action. I have a couple of small LED torches, about 10 cm long, powered by 2AA batteries and a lens about 2.5 cm diameter. I placed it to shine down the neck of a bottle of water which diffused the light so we could move about without bumping into things, and for brighter light, had the torch on my iPhone, which fortunately had been fully charged earlier this afternoon, The Wi-Fi went out with the lighhts, so no TV or computer. So I just laid on the bed feeling stinking hot. The power supply company (not the billing supplier) texted to say they were aware of the outage and said it should be back by 2 am. In fact, it came back on at 10:50, just before my daughter got home from the women's cricket test at the MCG.

Apparently, circle beards are the latest trend.

This is being reported. If true, just shows what a considerate person he is.

Spoken like a true, stuff-you-Jack-I'm-alright, MAGA ratbag. Just because people have empathy for the less fortunate, they;re radical lefties.

The pastor’s wife was expecting their baby, so one Sunday, he stood before the congregation and made a request: He asked for a raise. After much deliberation, the church passed a policy: whenever the pastor’s family grew, so would his salary. At first, it seemed reasonable, but after six children, the situation became expensive. Concerned about the church’s finances, the congregation scheduled another meeting to discuss the pastor’s growing paycheck. A heated debate followed. There was much shouting and disagreement over the cost of the pastor’s expanding family and the potential strain on the church’s budget. After listening to the uproar for about an hour, the pastor stood up and addressed everyone: “Children are a blessing from God, and we will accept all the blessings He sends our way.” The room fell silent. From the back pew, an elderly woman slowly rose to her feet. Her voice was frail but clear as she said: “Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers.” The entire congregation responded in unison: “Amen.”

For all those I gave books to for Christmas, they are due back to the library today.

Legendary Australian musician Bruce Howe died in Adelaide on Wednesday aged 77 following a long cancer battle. Howe was the bassist for Aussie rock band Fraternity in the early '70s, which was led by former AC/DC singer Bon Scott. The band's all-star line up included Howe on bass, Scott on vocals and his long-time friend Jimmy Barnes as the replacement singer after Scott joined AC/DC. Barnes confirmed the heartbreaking news on social media. 'My dear friend Bruce Howe has passed away after a battle with cancer. Bruce was the first person I rang when I went solo,' he began. 'He played bass with my band and helped guide me through the early years of my career. He will be sadly missed. RIP, you were the most ferocious bass player I've ever heard.'
