        They're going to need a much bigger calendar for this president.

        I don’t understand. What was that supposed to commemorate?

        The black numbers are the thirteen days that mark the crisis - I suspect basically a reminder or a memorial as to how close things got?

        What a dark gift. “Here, we almost died out as a species and you, my long-suffering wife, should never forget it.” Odd.

        The quoted text is from the New York Times obituary of Walter Hoving. I think he would appreciate your objection.http://www.nytimes.com/1989/11/28/obituaries/walter-hoving-punctilious-head-of-tiffany-for-25-years-dies-at-91.html …

        (I knew you were quoting someone else's text--so I knew you weren't adding the apostrophe!--I should have said that to you)...1/2

        ...2/2...I love obituaries--so thank you very much for that link--I read it with great excitement! He had quite a life and 3 wives! 😊Thanks!

        Oh--and I think the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was responsible for mainstreaming the apostrophe...now almost impossible to remove 😋

        I often recommend The Missiles of October (1974), a superior docudrama. Can’t imagine such for Trump in the years to come!

        I was born on the last day of the crisis (28th) - not a great climate to be in on one's birthday, then or now.
