things that have made me think in the last thirty seconds

can someone please explain to me why our government is so intent on building walls? first the wall part way across the mexican border that has done little more than to piss off mexico, and now this. how is this helping? sounds a little evil empire, if you ask me.

in totally unrelated and much more upbeat news, someone ran the "fast and the furriest" 5k dog run with their goat this morning. i am waaaay amused.
