What I saw recently

Birds on a wire

Flying the friendly(?) skies . . .

This Qatar Airways plane flew low over Columbia recently.

Qatar Airways is the state-owned flag carrier of the State of Qatar, an Arab country that has reportedly funded such terrorist groups as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

It’s open: Front Street near Walnut.

Who says you can’t walk a cat?

(Yes, they’re actually in there.)
