Christmas Eagle!

I wonder what the actuarial tables have to say about being killed by having a treehouse fall on one?
*****
So, there's this magnolia tree outside the White House that was planted by Andrew Jackson. I'm more interested in politics and history than the average American, by (I suspect) rather a wide margin, but I'd never heard of it. After almost 200 years, it's finally dying, which is sad, but no real surprise. Suddenly, though, after Melania Trump has the gardener cut it back before it drops a limb on someone, it becomes an "iconic" tree, a "beloved" tree, one that, by reading the BBC, you'd pardonably believe that every American considers a symbol of the country.

So, on FurAffinity, if someone decides to take their gallery down, you get this "contents removed by user" message if you try to look at it. However, the pictures are still in the database, and searchable, and as long as you can find a link to one, you can still see all of their content by using the "previous" and "next" buttons. FA's standards of professionalism never fail to amaze me.
