The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You mean the concrete Klingon prison complex that now adorns Chicago's south side?

The local noon "news" just ran a piece on it. I agree. What a monstrosity. I have only been to one Presidential library, the one for Jerry Ford, in Grand Rapids. Actually been in it twice; when I first retired in 2012, and again, a few years later, after the remodel. The remodel took some interesting things out, like the interview notes of the U of M admissions officer, and a Newsweek cover of Jerry, and Kissinger, in battle dress, charging up a sand dune, under the headline "a war for oil?" The stairs from the US embassy in Saigon are still there, but it's harder to find then it used to be.

I'll give Trump credit for being a "statesman", in admitting the magnitude of his screwup in Iran. But, true to form, he is buying his way out of it with other people's money.
