    Yes, very sad.

    D1 used to have pet rats. She swore they were as smart as a dog.

    I think it a bit early to start the rankings. Let us hope they all do an adequate job for their citizens.

    I‘m not a big fan of the ampersand though. I imagine this can lead to unwanted invocations in some situations.

    Yeah, I can see that. Can it be replaced with a different character?

    89th, Jimmy John's has a new sandwich called a "Cuban" which you might like. As close as I've ever tasted to a pickle sandwich.
