Bits and Pieces. Bits and Pieces.

There’s a cool little restaurant a town over from me that I like. You can get a great breakfast there. Service is excellent. Very reasonably priced. Not much parking though, so I frequently find a spot on the street. That means I swing around the block to get home, thus passing one of those Trump flag houses. But this one is special. This is the steroid version of Trump flag houses, with so many flags waving it looks like Glastonbury from the stage. The muscle-bound Rambo flag. Pence is still there, almost like Trump didn’t threaten to kill him. It’s impressive. Front and center is the one that says “Fuck Your Feelings” in a font the size of a good sized golden retriever. It’s a regular old NEPA neighborhood, a few blocks from the Catholic Church, so I assume children live close by. In most environments such a crude sign would be frowned upon, but it’s been there for years…..and the current environment IS pretty fucked up. Presumably all the kids have already asked “Mommy, what does ‘Fuck Your Feelings’ mean?” and everybody has just moved on.
