Did you complain when Obama got his?

India's Independence Day is on 15 August. Please celebrate it!
Visit the Indian High Commission or Embassy in your country to

I like Indian food, but the only food I've ever found too sweet is
those round balls of dough soaked in syrup. Delicious, but I'll
never eat another one :-)
One of the good things about Kalifornia is the vast number of foreigh restaurants and grocery stores. The other good thing is the scenery
once you leave the cities. I'm sure there's a third good thing, but
I can't think of it right now. It used to be the roads, but that was
a long time ago. Same with the schools.

Yosemite? (Without the crowds, even better).
I think the National/State Parks/Monuments etc. are included in
'scenery'. Too many to list :-)
The last time we went to Yosemite the smoke from the campfires was
blinding and pretty much obscured everything worth seeing. Like
everybody and his dog took advantage of his god-given right to set a
piece of wood on fire.
Crowds ruin everything.
According to an article in the Free Press (subscribers only, and I'm
still thinking about it) Yosemite is crumbling due to Trump's cuts.
Curious article for a conservative newsthing. Our local National Forest
has been desperate for money to get rid of the garbage that visitors
leave after their day in the mountains for decades. Full garbage trucks every weekend and they can't keep up. I don't think that's Trump's fault.

People are slobs and it costs an inordinate amount of money to pick up
after them

I sometimes see signs saying "take your rubbish home with you; other
people do", or similar wording.
My immediate reaction is to think "how kind of those people to take my rubbish home with them" (-:
