Shrewsbury and much of Shropshire was once at the mercy of gangs of 'marauding Morris dancers' who caused mayhem wherever they went. The leader of the musical mob was 'The Lord of Misrule'. Often, the funding for their endeavors came from the Shrewsbury corporation.

‘Water is more valuable than oil’: the corporation cashing in on America’s drought
In an unprecedented deal, a private company purchased land in a tiny Arizona town – and sold its water rights to a suburb 200 miles awayMaanvi Singh (The Guardian)
Back in late 1990s, Boone Pickens (oil billionaire) started buying up water rights in the Ogallala Aquifer recognizing water would be the next big commodity. Since he died, I wondered what ever happened with his endeavor and found this article. Looks like he made $103 million off the water rights he bought.
Remembering the water race between Pickens and West Texas cities
T. Boone Pickens made a significant impact on Lubbock and other West Texas towns when he sold water rights beneath 211,000 acres of land near Amarillo to the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority.…Matt Dotray A-J Media (Lubbock Avalanche-Journal)

i think all the time about all the pets i grew up with; especially Tiger, our German Shepherd. he was like our dog brother. we were his herd.
pets are family. we should cherish them as such.

I loved all my dogs and always feel guilty thinking about chosing which one was my favorite. They were all my favorite. Especially, Brandy. No, Midnight. Except probably, really, Corky. No, Brandy. No, each of them. So different but all always loving.

"Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television. …
'She believes that Americans should help Putin win. Yes, you heard that right. To help him win in Ukraine,' says host Evgeny Popov in one clip."

every element of our government is passing the buck on the checks and balances granted them by the constitution.
how ridiculous it is that the future of our already failing democracy lies in the hands of 12 jurors reviewing a single campaign paperwork problem, when the defendant is actually guilty of treason and trying to overthrow the government itself

This sounds like a joke, but I promise you it is real:
The reason why Congress has not yet agreed on aid to Ukraine and Israel is, Marjorie Taylor Greene is flooding the house floor with fantasy amendments, including:
1. Requiring members of Congress to sign up for fighting in Ukraine
2. Requiring Ukraine to “close all bio-laboratories” (A conspiracy theory created by Vladimir Putin)
3. Introducing “space lasers” to protect the US border
Obviously, none of these amendments will be adopted.
