    It's too bad for William. All reports are he's furious at basically everyone except Princess Anne. He, Catherine, and his family are essentially doing everything right, are able, charismatic, and popular. Meanwhile, the family is behaving badly, starting with Charles, who unlike his sister, never fit the role. He was too slow to take action against Andrew, Charles' less than useless wife, Andrew's less the useless wife, who has ties to The scandal that are entirely her own, Harry and Meghan, who have the emotional development of four year olds, and did nothing about the twosome, while they've dragged he family for seven years and counting. This is aside from the fact he refuses to act like the head of the Church of England and he is a climate hypocrite on to extent that is mind boggling when you look at not only his constant speeches, the usual travel you would expect, and the large toxic dump next a residential neighborhood that he won't pay a penny to clean up although that's the law, his ducal property is except from it. It would be a shame if William didn't have a chance to ascend to the throne and at least have a chance to get this circus under control because his family has acted reprehensibly and incompetently. The latest bombshell pictures of are of Andrew with a grin on his face leaning over a woman on the floor who is clearly either unconscious or dead.

    Sounding the next note would be terrible! Good grief. We're floating in the high 50's/ low '60's down to high '40's/ low 50's. It's too cold but it will be too hot soon enough. What can you do.

    @Mik Prime rib soup, yum! I usually take our prime rib bones and make mushroom barley soup, same idea. But I make the broth in the Instant Pot and go forth from there. The Christmas bones are in the freezer, waiting for their star turn.

    @jon-nyc I remember loving this one. When I lived in Queens, this was about what my co-workers thought when I told them I was from Portland. They only knew Seattle and Los Angeles.

    Yeah that’s awesome. They’ve been a huge problem for years. I know Crapo’s brother who is pulmonologist. I wonder if he helped lobby him.

    It looks very comfortable. My grandparents' house had wall to wall carpet except the bathrooms and a screened in (and second) Florida room (the first was on the front of the house and was an enclosed office). The screen room had the washer and dryer and led into the fenced backyard. You weren't allowed to wear shoes. The carpet was vacuumed once a day. I wouldn't mind it!

    I'm guessing that the Virginia Supreme Court will soon allow us to vote on an initiative to redistrict Virginia for 2026, overturning a rural district court's injunction.

    With you Steve. We humans are weird in the things we're attracted to. I think the days started better watching Captain Kangaroo than listening to the news. There's some comfort in that. Best to get out of our houses - and take a walk in the forest - or look at the stars from time-to-time for a counterpoint to the madness that exists outside. Find a quiet place to retreat to from time-to-time.
