Mathilda and her Easter Tree,

 

That's what was written on the slide, and indeed a quick bit of research reveals that on the state of Wyoming, the practise amongst the ethnic Albanians was for decorative trees to be put out for Easter.

The differed from the more normal Christmas Tree was that the Easter Tree featured no star at the top (the star being an Islamic symbol) and the sweet treats on the branches were based upon mutton and cardamon.

Wilbur, Living His Dream

 

After retirement, every Thursday and Sunday, Wilbur <Name Redacted> gets in his car, and drives 12 miles down to the riverbank, and spends an hour shouting incoherently at the seagulls and pigeons.

Eventually, all the birds leave. He then gets back in his car, with a wide grin, and drives back home. It's what he wants, and who am I to criticise.
