Low Cost Housing
In an effort to placate restless protesters over the perceived injustice of police shootings, the government decided to offer low-cost housing to any and all comers. There didn’t seem to be many takers . . .
Cold Spell
Here in Alaska where Homer lives, there was winter and July; in spite of Al Gore’s promises, it wasn’t exactly a salubrious climate just yet . . . .
Presidential Visit
As it turned out, not everyone was happy with the Presidential Visit to Glacier Park
Hawkish
The Donald had made quite a transition–from moderately conservative Democrat to what was now considered a definitely right wing conservative, even quite hawkish . . .
Foreign Aid
Belize’s Parliament, after hearing that the cold snap in the midwestern US reached all the way to Texas, decided to send some foreign aid.

Where Do Rattles Come From?
Like alligators (everyone else has crocodiles and caimans), rattlesnakes are found only in the Americas. Huey wondered where they got their rattle. After several difficult months and the freedom of information act, he discovered that rattles were grown in a covert, organic rattle farm in Oregon and drop shipped to each rattlesnake several times a year, no charge, courtesy of the government. Now, lack of funding made it likely the program would be cut, and another unique North American species would become ordinary.
