No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the "Congress" (legislature) is in session. Lazarus Long, Ca 2342
Many years ago, while my kids were in scouts, we took a trip to the nation's capitol. While touring the capitol building the tour guide remarked that the worst thing they did to the building was put heat and A/C in it. Now congress can make our lives miserable all year instead of just in the spring and fall when they originally had sessions...............seems not everyone in DC lacks a sense of humor....;)

Ken,

Those of us who live on the fringes of the Nations Capitol have to have a sense of humor. I live 75 miles upstream Potomac River from DC, around here most of the washrooms in Resturants have a sign that says “Flush Twice Its a Long Way to Washington!”

Thanks Ron,

But surely there’s enough ---- coming out of Washington without you adding your input? :sunglasses:

Back in the 60s I used to drive semi-seriously for the Oz VW rally club & we had a German dictionary for VW parts.
