Timelies all!
Stay safe, folks!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Hi! We're in Pittsburgh. Some people go to Florida for spring break... Us, not so much. Tomorrow, dinosaurs!

Yes. My first memory of going to a museum, when i was probably 5. I remember red velvet and dinosaurs. We stopped on the way in Washington and visited my great great grandparents in the cemetery.

Our wings are not tired.
Lots to do in Pittsburgh. If you want a taste of tropical you can go to the Phipps Conservatory!

I remember standing under the tail of the Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Brontosaur, staring up in awe through the ribcage and up towards the head.

Oh, and the Cathedral of Learning! Such a gorgeous Gothic building and vaulted great hall, in that big tower.

Yeah, heard the Fort Hood thin on NPR but they had very little in the way of deets.
Still, I feel like if you're going to be safe anywhere, a military base in your own country ought to be it. Unless your country is Ukraine. (Thoug I keep picturing Mexico trying to annex Arizona by dying "it used to be ours, and there's lots of Mexicans being treated badly there!")

Well, I didn't realize President Obama was in Chicago until I had to jump some police barriers downtown. Oopsy daisy. Took me a long time to get home.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Me too. He couldn't have been south of the loop?
