In the distance, watching us from the branch of a tree, was our little friend we called Rocky — a young raccoon, curious and playful, who visited us every day, always at mealtimes. He looked a little sad, as if…ladyaryastark memberin Curators Community • 4 days ago • 2 min readDaily Prompt | Positive (or not)"Positive or not, the fact is that the process has concluded and the facts cannot be changed." That is how the Attorney General opened his press conference regarding the embarrassing case of the President of the Magistrate Impeachment Jury.

The same applies to the poverty line.

She declared something that left many astonished. In her first official speech she stated: "Simplicity is the new complexity".
