Since Bernie's Trifecta Win this morning the MSM SPIN machine has been working in overdrive trying to convince everyone that
"It ain't no thang"
"Hillary knew she would LOSE these three states...so they don't matter."
"She still has this huge lead...if you count the unpledged delegates."
Except the Unpledged delegates are exactly that. Free-range. Just today, 7 of them already jumped off the "Berning" Hillary Titanic and into a Bernie Lifeboat. As I have said repeatedly through-out this Primary...putting unpledged delegates in your basket as EGGS and counting them as CHICKENS just doesn't work. It may look good on paper...but it doesn't mean a thing for any of them until July. And Super Delegates have never ever....not even once...decided who the Nominee will be against the will of the voters.
NEVER.
So, enjoy your delusions MSM...and meanwhile the rest of us will just stick to facts.
(...why would they do this...you ask? Good question. Maybe the fact that Time Warner is Hillary's 8th Largest Donor to her campaign...just going out on a limb here...)
After Easter brunch embarked on exploring a bit more of Virtual Portugal with the Cork Oak Fields of Alentejo.
Located in tidy rows often in the midst of wheat fields, they are beautiful. The tinny tinkle of sheep bells everywhere.
The lower bark of the cork trees harvested, not harming the tree itself.
Portugal's main crops are cork, olives, and wheat. They even have postcards and a stamp made of cork.
Not very scenic, but just as important to Portugal, the Marble Quarries
Where huge blocks and slabs of marble are cut and shipped worldwide.
Some to be carved into beautiful statues like the one below.
Others used for outstanding interior decorating!

And before I close for the evening, I have to share something also outstanding.
The Youngest and his girlfriend sending me home...not just a chocolate rabbit...but a pile of "Bun-nies" ~laughing~
Also a wedge of their fresh home-made Baklava from their cooking experience together!
The whole pan must have weighed 5 pounds. Seriously! This is some seriously righteous Baklava!
Exploring Extremoz tomorrow...and learning to make some of the Breads and Dry (Bread) Soups of Portugal!
And yes, I will be sharing recipes.
More anon...
