Domestic violence is unacceptable in any form. The cost of divorcing a lunatic should not be having him murder 7 of your kids.

Or even humans on roller skates; it takes very little mechanical advantage.

Yikes

DC has so many romantic spots! Because of the iffy weather I'd make sure to have alternative plans. An underrated indoor architectural gem is the library of congress and while there see the "here to stay" exhibit about the Gershwins.

Yes! But every stadium in CAN and MEX that meets FIFA rules for size and # of luxury boxes is already fully booked.
Obviously those rules aren't necessary for the game of soccer, but they will keep games from being moved.

The twins will think it's wonderful!

There is no glamor in logistics. And you're right- food, clothing, and basic sanitation are all traditional women's work

Managing supply trains all over the world used to be part of USAID's job. But DOGE eliminated it as non-essential

Most public libraries now have someone on staff whose job is helping people with tech problems. Generally that's e-mail, app downloads, filling gov. forms online questions, don't know if that would help with TV streaming.

I live in a flyspec town in the middle of Arizona- my notices say my package is in Los Vegas, in Phoenix, back in Los Vegas. Are they serious??

Can confirm that Hunter fans are quiet.

Also she's easy to blame for bad employment numbers.

Only one appropriate response around a Pope who is WEAK ON CRIME. (Sound on).

I had my last accident when I didn't even ask an elementary teacher for permission to go to the bathroom because I knew she would make a humiliating comment before the whole class. Situation is always key.

I've been recommending a lot of memoirs; getting to know an individual person first hand can change your world view.
And MS books are generally light enough to allow for skips. (The audiobook for Noah is "Born a Crime".)

Thank you for keeping us informed.

Today? Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

This sounds good; also maybe go to a HomeDepo type store and get a low pile area rug that you think looks ok in the area. Better than a special use table.

Article 1 of the constitution calls for post offices and post roads; most government services aren't mentioned in the constitution. As a rural citizen i wish we had postal banking as well since I know many unbanked people.

California poppies in bloom in central Arizona.

The new town park has a lovely native plant garden!

Today is actually Leland Melvin day in Virginia! I recommended his memoir to the schools middle schoolers today; football, science, dogs and space.

Book cover for "Chasing Space", Melvin's memoir where he describes a life of many fascinating jobs.

I gave a book talk on his memoir today!

Yikes! I hadn't seen that, and also think messages are perfect in their absolute simplicity.

A-tisket, A-tasket by Ella Fitzgerald. I mean it's about baskets and letters to my Mommy, (that is all I remember of the lyrics).

Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez.

Because he took his role as confessor seriously. Chaplains are the only people troops can go to and say they miss home and are having a hard time working with a jerk in their unit, their girlfriend broke up with them ...

Starting at the municipal court level!

Is it a Charlie Anderson situation where you have neighbors whose kids are regularly gone for the weekend? Leaving a loved and bored cat.

Run from any church that claims to be non- denominational! A major purpose of a denominational structure is to provide accountability for the individual churches. Do they support the poor? Have a pension for their pastor? Who will defrock for abuse?

Is this still a concern? Not exactly a batch cooking book, but WCK's cookbook is a collection of recipes that have largely scaled down from recipes for several hundred or a thousand.
Firefighters chili works out scaling techniques for serving 6 or 100. Breakfast sandos explains fried eggs for 50.
