Damn, 2 days after we leave. 😩

For what it's worth, he was quoting someone, and the remark has been edited and dishonestly represented as his words. From Snopes:
"I am going to read a paragraph which is if true very ironic, and this is from Dr. Apt’s paper and I quote: “Wind energy is a finite resource. At large scale, slowing down the wind by using its energy to turn turbines has environmental consequences. A group of researchers at Princeton University,” which is in New Jersey, parenthetically “found that wind farms may change the mixing of air near the surface, drying the soil near the site. At planetary scales, David Keith, who was then at Carnegie Mellon, and coworkers found that if wind supplied 10 percent of expected global electricity demand in 2100, which is a number of years off, the resulting change in the earth’s atmospheric energy might cause some regions of the world to experience temperature change of approximately 1 degree Centigrade,” which I think is about 1-1/2 degrees or 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

It looks like a "blomsterflue" (Syrphidae) to me. One of the nicest flies you will ever meet. Blomsterfluer means summer and the tickling feeling of something walking on your arm. Sadly they have nearly disappeared...
When I look closer, your fly is only dressed as a blomsterflue dressed as a wasp...

if the orphanator can't come clean about anything, even his intention to pee on the queen's balcony, he should expect a bit o' scorn

I think I can come up with more than 1 for each of those...how many stories can a single image of Blitzo, Dmt, Daphne, Nat, dr Hartouni, the eraser head baby, alone conjur up?
