Smart decision.

My grandmother tended the strawberry bed on the farm where I grew up. A job I had when I was little was sitting at the table where we had berries for sale and collecting the money from the customers. I recall that "Midway" was a variety of strawberry she particularly favored. I believe they're still available. Big Al

But, after getting a CT-scan and seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist, it was revealed he had non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition in which the loss of blood flow to the optic nerve causes sudden vision loss. Recent studies have shown an association between drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy — which have become phenomenally popular for weight loss — and an increased risk of NAION [.

The public is doing a clinical trial on themselves. I'm so glad I haven't had to fight obesity.

When the reality sink in? Will it matter?

Interesting video. If only their government was nicer.

I wonder when the Doggy children will hit the DOT. Can’t wait for bridges to fall in to rivers.

Predicting the future!

Leopards, faces, etc.

Thanks!

@Bernard "But already Trump is ignoring the courts. He is deporting people despite the court order halting the deportations. " So he is in contempt of court. It's possible this will make a difference, that it is contempt, rather than that he had the legal right to do it and so is untouchable. I've also pretty much lost all faith in the Ds. There is going to have to be some kind of organic uprising. No one is going to save us but ourselves.

I can't watch her because any freeze frame of her face is a contorted smirk making watching a video of her an exercise in torture.
