Houston Luxury Stores Boarding Up
Jeweler Tennenbaum on Westheimer in Houston had their windows smashed last night. Today, luxury shopping area River Oaks District is boarded up, and millions of dollars of merchandise has been moved out of the stores. The Galleria is closed, surrounded by security. To add insult to injury,
this evening Trump threatened to unleash US troops on Americans, which is illegal. He yelled at governors today, calling them “weak” and “jerks” like he was night manager at the local Waffle House and the wait staff had taken too long a smoke break out back. After his speech tonight, he posed in front of St. John’s Chapel across from the WH, waving a Bible that he’s never bent the spine of.
I’m going to pour a cocktail, turn off the television, and dream about how life used to be in the old days, way back in 2015 and 16.
But the Episcopal clergy there was not pleased:

The last time I was in D.C. I went to a service at St. John’s, a peaceful and friendly place for a stranger to go. Trump standing out front with a Bible and TV cameras would be…not that welcome. Good for Bishop Budde and the Presiding Bishop both. Our son now attends a streaming video service from St. Matthew’s, in Austin, and then watches a recorded service from the National Cathedral. His mama approves, even though she doesn’t do that as often.
2Time for some good news: Eagle cam!
One egg hatched, one to go. As I write this momma is feeding the fuzzy little baby eagle. Watch this yourownself, live feed from high in a cottonwood tree in the wind in Kenai Alaska.

3Thanks, slipstream. I have always watched the D.C. Arboretum eagle cam, but the pair didn’t use the nest this year. I’ll enjoy this with you.
4FWIW, San Antonio has had some of the same shit happening downtown too.
