The Republicans didn’t miss a beat continuing the corporate generosity.

Go too fast and the Kingdom comes for you?

Thought this had to be eastern TN, but it’s Cumberland KY.

Will reduce energy costs and improve comfort year round. In winter, the just might be life saving, or at least water pipe saving.

Basic improvements are not real expensive either, and give a lot of bang for the buck.

..much further south than, say Amarillo?
We’ve often joked where I live that Arkansas only has one snow plow. Slight exaggeration, but…..if ole Billy Bob hadn’t thrown every tax break possible at Walmart and Tyson, probably have lots more nice things for everyone else in the state, including more plows and salt trucks.

It is waaayyy past time.  Don’t they have some important business to attend to, like a stimulus package and getting some checks out to us working folks?

Apparently, halt, cease, defer, take a break, stop, are no longer acceptable. Too harsh sounding perhaps? So we pause, or press pause; we take the pause that refreshes…no wait, that’s an old Coke ad slogan.

And yes, gorgeous eyes. Wish you all the best with leash training.  😉

And was wondering   how on  earth DiFi was holding on to her Senate seat if she was that far gone.

I used to be able to pick up on Onion stories pretty quickly;  not so much any more.  We’ve had too much reality far weirder than anything even they could dream up.

Bernie’s  son or son in law worked at the company  that made the jacket, Burton, and gave it as a Christmas gift.  Believe it is the same one he wore to the inaugural in 2016.    Think there was some mutterings then  about the coat  as it wasn’t a “proper” wool dress coat.

Nothing says first world problems like getting bent out of shape over s…[Read more]

..pushing for his $1.9 billion aid package which includes $1400 stimulus checks. So claims the lead story at CNN this early Monday. Republicans have their own proposal now, roughly a third of the size. Apparently, stimulus checks are includes, but capped at $1000 for individuals earning $50,000 or less.
Guessing around zero of the folks here are…[Read more]

An Austin public health clinic physician Dr John Day has been recommending Vitamin D since Covid showed up. Our vitamin D stores are at their lowest in winter and early spring, and a lot of us don’t get enough sun to really build sufficient levels to begin with.  He has recommended taking it as a preventative, going so far as buying it out of hi…[Read more]

…it does.

There will be people who believe this;  I think I work  with some of them.  🙁

…with the outdoor wreaths and tree. Simple and beautiful.

Snow is Christmassy, but I’m OK with bare ground here. 😉

…and funny as hell. Thank  you for  the  good belly laugh.

On John Day’s blog.  He is a physician  practicing in Austin, and spoke with Tulsi Gabbard about using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine back on March 2 at a campaign appearance in Austin:

Watching this all play out thus far, I am more scared of what the government may do than the virus.  Technically, I am in  one of the “higher” risk groups (over 60), but no health issues.  Yes, I am fortunate in that regard.  Also have a pretty sturdy immune system, and quit smoking seven years ago.

So I am far more worried about losing our rig…[Read more]

Surely there are many still in the workforce?

On second thought, Nancy Pelosi being ordered to self isolate might not be such a bad thing…..

For people working in the food service industry.  Most of these folks live paycheck to paycheck and have no financial cushion.  This will be economic devastation  a large segment of the working class. 🙁

The county I live in has a population of just over 291,000; we have two presumptive positive Covid 19 cases. Five total in the state.  Friday night when I stopped at the grocery store on the way home, it was a madhouse. I have never seen so many grocery carts brimful of toilet paper in my life.   Plus everything else folks were scooping up…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian, I visited the locally owned pagan book shop here yesterday to pick up incense;  I wanted to give them some business, thinking it might be slow for them.  Place was packed. 🙂 All the employees helping shoppers; lady ahead of me spent $65 on assorted things.  It brightened my mood considerably to see them so busy.
