  1. This photo isn't recent but it tells a story. My late father, a retired Lutheran minister, moved to DC at age 80 and spent 13 happy years there, living in a senior residence near Thomas Circle, with no need for a car. He walked far and wide and was treated with kindness everywhere he went.

    An elderly man with a walker, wearing shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and a cap, stands on a lawn below the statue of Martin Luther in front of Luther Place Memorial Church at Thomas Circle in Washington, DC. The statue is on a high pedestal and the man is leaning back and looking up at it. Behind the statue is a tree with dense foliage. A portion of the dark red church building is visible at the far left.

    Nope. It's wind and transmission that need permitting reform.

  3. "That part of the budget bill has drawn pushback, even within the Republican Party. Utah Sen. John Curtis is one of two GOP lawmakers who have held up Trump’s nominees for the Treasury Dept over concerns about how the credits will wind down..."

    OK but maybe mention that Curtis voted for the bill?
