I know they say you can increase your chances of surviving an avalanche by trying to “swim” upward in the mobile snow, so I was thinking the same advice would apply in a landslide.

You can get pretty close in a Sikh Gurdwara’s langar (the community kitchen in a Sikh temple), and they absolutely will feed anyone regardless of religion, especially if you’re willing to volunteer to help out.

I wonder if it was a combination of whackadoodle beliefs and the fact she’s an assertive women.

Pfft, no. The Secret Service is probably fighting over who gets to drag Orange Foolius down the front steps, so we’re just happy to sip our tea and let you sort yourselves out. *fist-bump* You got this, my friends.

Appropriate gif is appropriate, but why is Canada missing all its territories? We still like them.
