Can you imagine? “Hey, just woke up, how did Biden beat Hillary? Why is Trump running as a Republican? Well, at least the Supreme Court will make sense.”

Make sure you schedule your transformation carefully so you don't end up as a badger in abyssal seas, or a giant squid in a sun-dappled meadow.

Book 63: "Bringing Columbia Home" by M. Leinbach and J. Ward, about the staggering recovery effort after Columbia broke up during reentry over Texas. NASA's failures were, disturbing and unnecessary, but the book's focus is on the 25000 people, many volunteers, went out to find debris.

Look, we all know the Papal See has been vacant since the death of Peter. And, thus, I declare myself Pope.

Mostly, you'll lose your preferences and anything in your shopping cart. Mildly annoying to find out you used to enjoy merlot but now you're a PBR man.

The same moral as in all fairy tales once the woods get dark enough, and the night deep enough, and the fires low enough, your morals don't matter, the world just wants to destroy you for random and inchoate reasons.

Direct CoC, no. But I’d think Deadlands, Haunted West, and maybe even Werewolf: Old West might touch on similar themes. Dogs in the Vineyard, too, in its own peculiar way.

At the end of the day, any judgement as to what is an 'official act' now rests with the Court, a new super-presidency.

Book 62: "Continental reckoning : the American West in the age of expansion" by the aptly named Elliott West. A dense and heavy read with enough anecdotes to keep it interesting. Does a good job of dispelling a lot of myths about America's westward expansion.

I've seen Sickles' leg at Walter Reed. He used to toast it on the anniversary of its loss. Bit of shame the shell didn't hit him in the head.

Walking Gettysburg with my then-young kids, telling them that this was the spot that the wave of the Confederacy broke against the rock that was Chamberlain, and my wife notes that Chamberlain was a member of her fraternity. The boys look at her in awe: "Did you know him?"

We use a bit of garbled Latin and force people to take a test -that at least put us on par with doctors, but without the icky blood (there may still be blood, but it rarely lands on our briefs).

I feel like many civilians have very little interaction with military and therefore make certain assumptions. Mind you, the military garrison mentality doesn’t help.
