The legislation does not, however, include language to increase the debt limit, an eleventh-hour demand from President-elect Trump that hurled a curveball into the sensitive government funding negotiations."

Near Holtville, Imperial Valley, California. Migratory labor housing during carrot harvest. This field owned by proprietor of adjoining grocery and general store who allows workers to camp here rent-free. Approximately sixty families were living in camp here

#Holtville #ImperialValley #California #America #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017771434/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene with several makeshift tents or shacks lined up in rows. There are telephone poles visible on the left side, suggesting that this might be near a road or power lines. Amongst these temporary dwellings, there appears to be a small child seated on what looks like a toy wagon pulled by another individual.

In front of one of the shelters, two young boys stand beside each other; they seem engaged in some activity with objects on the ground. The setting is an open dirt field under a clear sky, and beyond the tents are trees that appear to be eucalyptus or similar species, which indicates this might be near California.

A vintage car parked at one end of the line suggests that it's likely from mid-20th century America. There seems to be some text on top of the image but it is not clearly legible in this context due to resolution constraints and angle perspective issues within the photo frame; however, there appears a possible watermark or note reading '1948.'

You might think of Lunar New Year as the biggest Chinese holiday, but us Cantonese have a saying 冬大過年 – the Winter (Solstice) is bigger than the (Lunar New) Year.

The whole extended family would gather for an elaborate meal. There is no gifting tradition, no tribute to deities, no red pockets, not much in terms of holiday greetings either. Just a hearty repast in the company of loved ones.

No matter what you celebrate this time of year, I wish you a Peaceful Solstice!
