Ha! As a rule of thumb, a beagle pic is a great default.
Daww, that pup could almost be Millie's sister.

Ha, yep, at least we know it will aggravate him to not be able to spend all his time at a golf resort. Any thorn in his side is worth it.

I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't think a "normal" Republican will have any better fortune against Trump in 2020 than they did last time unless the economy is tanking. Even less so a slightly more 'moderate' Republican like Weld.

I imagine trying to put anything like that in a 900 year old building would be very difficult, and of course very expensive. Seems likely they'll put it in now that they have to rebuild almost from scratch. Hopefully they'll use steel this time too. If they had used iron in the big 19th century renovation instead of wood, it may not have gone up like it did today.

That could well be right -- I'm certainly no expert on the properties of lead. :) And who knows what else might be mixed in alloys in with the lead as well.

One of the participants I heard on TV this afternoon talked about another cathedral fire in which a sizable amount of lead was present, and it ended up (melted) issuing forth from the gargoyles that were part of the water runoff system, catching neighboring buildings on fire. Yikes!

When washing cloth was a much more arduous task.
