@thequeenofrust They were a fixture at many California farmhouses until the 1930s. Rapidly disappearing from the landscape in the last 20 years.

New Ballroom Addition to the Whitehouse is HORRIBLE!
Shame on the architects, shame on the president, and shame on the people of the USA for letting their “house” get such a bad addition. “……But, it’s being privately funded” is the excuse most people give. Or, “I don’t care what they build”. Are these the same people that have pride in their country? I think they are. I am an US citizen, and I am calling this out as ………….lame as can be.
I’m not even going to use “architecture words” I paid for in college, for this project does not deserve them. I’m going to make up a new word……”FUGLY”. I put the two best words to describe this building together into one word.

@KarlSmithStudio Also tragically this was my childhood. My mom didn’t ask me for hugs nor initiate them until she got cancer. Sad

Mexico - Cholula - Puebla on Palm Sunday ….. then on to …………………………………Oaxaca City.
For me, these two images capture a feeling of a place that one can only “feel” when they come for a visit. After a week here in Puebla, I highly recommend everyone come for a visit. It is truly a wondrous place filled to the brim with life. The people, the food, the architecture, the weather……there is a reason people settled here and made things beautiful.
Oaxaca City next……on the road again. Anyone have any advice for me in the great state of Oaxaca?
….and they still drive VW Bugs……Viva!!!!!! Mexico Rocks!!!!!

@JulieChangRE It suggests the person you are talking to is brain dead.
It is a backup insult to Oh Dear and Bless Your Heart.

@KarlSmithStudio Ok ngl I don’t get how this is insulting lol.

It was a lament, not an argument. Projects like this charming beauty are harder to build now because of the costs of fees/permits, building and planning code restrictions, etc.
And yes, I am aware that people will pay for greater quality, and especially, luxury. Case in point? The Birkin Bag-always in style, always desirable...

@KarlSmithStudio Not according to @mattbaran and if your argument is people won’t pay more for beautiful things - resale housing proves different and there are multiple industries that show people will

@CoachForGov Why don't you work to get TSA funded? That's far more important right now. Sports can wait.

The transfer portal has screwed up college sports.
My bill is simple: you get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and you get 1 transfer.
After that, if you transfer again, you sit out a year.
This will fix 80% of the issues in NIL today.
