So, when Trump goes down, should we save the scalp for a certain Indian Princess?

I think she would enjoy having that decoration.

Sexual Harassment - I'm seeing some progress

When I worked as a contractor in aerospace at JSC (I won't say for which contractor). I remember that one year management put out a memo on the company's sexual harassment policy as required by law.

They issued the memo on pink stationary, dated February 14.

They thought it was a big joke and they all laughed at their cleverness.

They're not laughing now.

I found Tejocotes at a local grocery store for the first time

The fruit is eaten in Mexico cooked, raw, or canned. It resembles a crabapple, but it has three or sometimes more brown hard stones in the center. It is a main ingredient used in ponche, the traditional Mexican hot fruit punch that is served at Christmas time and on New Year's Eve.

The traditional Mexican Christmas punch is made with these fruit plus guavas, tamarinds and sugar cane among others. It is prepared on a copper cauldron over an open wood fire.

Spiked with rum, brandy, or other hard liquor according to individual tastes.

It is very unusual to find these fruit in the US, even in deep, deep South Texas where 80% of the population is Hispanic.

Everybody is wondering whether they've drank from the same bubbler.
