Yes, if she washed her face I might just assume she has some unfortunate medical condition which has caused her lips to swell grotesquely. ---

I don’t know how much (if any, but I assume so) work Tammy Faye Bakker has had, but at least she’d look like a normal person without her makeup. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > That train was always super long. We missed it once, and I clocked it as nearly 20 minutes that we sat there. We were in Wenatchee once (in eastern Washington) during a vacation in the area, and there was a train track that isolated an entire section of town. A train got stopped for hours and we had to change our dinner plans because the restaurant we had planned to go to was on the other side and there was no way to get to it. I don’t know how people deal with that sort of thing; I can imagine being trapped if we were on the other side of it. And there are businesses that lose money from it (at least that restaurant didn’t get our patronage). ---

> [@carrps](#): > > That train was always super long. We missed it once, and I clocked it as nearly 20 minutes that we sat there. About the longest trains are 2 miles. 20 minutes suggests it was moving at 6mph. A one mile train would have to be traveling at 3mph: walking speed. Unless a lot of the delay was clearing the accumulated car traffic jam after the teain had gone. ---

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is being gross in his DMs. [https://people.com/ruben-gallego-groans-about-democrats-leaked-texts-11857626](https://people.com/ruben-gallego-groans-about-democrats-leaked-texts-11857626) > Gallego’s friend then shared an insulting meme, writing, “This is how the world views many [Democrats]…” The meme featured a photo of Democratic Rep. [Rosa DeLauro](https://people.com/rosa-delauro-gets-tattoo-alongside-granddaughter-7568092) from Connecticut, reading, “If erectile dysfunction had a face.” > > “They aren’t wrong!” Gallego replied. > > In follow-up messages, he elaborated: “We look like the not fun party. Always telling and correcting people. Not allowing men to be men. Women to be hot. We used to be the party of sec [sic] drugs and rock and roll.” > > Gallego also wrote, “Now Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women.” Bad enough that he was pals with Swalwell. He’s REALLY not making the party look good with this kind of talk. ---

Or the train is starting-and-stopping or even doing some forward-backward movements or is moving only intermittently… SIX train lines run through my town.
