What is a "recess" appointment? I thought recess was when they let you out of school and you got to run around. John Bolton sounds a little old for that.
I'm in L.A. again this week. On Pacific Coast Highway I saw a sign that said "SLIDE AREA--NEXT 6 MILES." I thought that meant there were plenty of playgrounds where you could go on the slide. Apparently it means that rocks can fall down from the cliffs and crush your car. So what exactly are you supposed to do after seeing these signs? Drive faster?
