I read in a Wall Street Journal article today that Walensky is being "coached by a media consultant"!!! I laughed out loud when I read that. Especially …
This week, I'll be starting at home, to capture some interesting objects around me. The first one is an empty bottle. Now, the bottle itself is unremarkable, a simple screw-top container.
