Have you ever wondered why one can demonstrate a remonstrance but can never remonstrate a demonstrance?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Our evening ended with a bang. Possible tornado went down Mains street upending trees. It's still blocked off, so I haven't seen much. Some traffic lights still out. We were to get severe thunderstorms, but those were not a direct hit. We lost power from 8pm to almost 4am. Thankfully, MJ's didn't lose power. In this pic it looks like the sidewalk just popped right up with the tree roots. People in that area were trapped in their homes with so many power lines down. Very unsafe conditions.

A+++ I hate that there is ANYTHING to validate the ridiculous equating of islamophobia with the terror that THEY perpetrate.

Word for the day haiku:

We may remonstrate,
Donald Trump may remonstrate,
but Dems keep lying.

Finally done with work and home

Whenever even more fake news
Leads to some democrat’s door
They all begin to remonstrate
Crazier than they did before

Placing blame and declaring
That everyone else is mean
And it would be all kumbaya
If Hillary were only queen

The lunatic who was shooting
At repubs practicing baseball
Was an anti Trump Bernie ‘bot
High on liberal ideals after all...

That immediate area was still without power last night. They had to install a new pole for utilities. We were without power for about 8 hours. Way too long, IMHO. For some reason I couldn’t settle down without power. Kept waking up all night.
