Morsels picked up last evening in Taleigao. I grew up not far from this once-magnificent village. Today the concrete footprint has overwhelmed the village, trampling all over its open spaces and fields. With the visual dreck this ‘development’ has spawned, abstracting elements of its erstwhile

Dear US Vice-President Kamala, You are a good lady, ever good humored. But why on earth can't your party afford $3? That hard up? To me, the US parties are all the same - all they want is to be the ruling party and wield power. Please persuade that old dodderer Biden to quit and retire to
