@Rontuner said in Covid, again.: There seems to be a misconception about what the vaccine/boosters accomplish. They don't seem to keep you from catching Covid - but what they are really good at is keeping you from spiraling down into needing to go to the hospital. The jury still seem to be out as to whether additional boosters are needed to keep an infection from needing hospital care. "They don't seem to keep you from catching Covid...' I know that! Me and my wacky internet conspiracies. Lol.

But not enough to prevent the fires.

Awesome!

Me three!

Perfect score. Yay!

I scrolled through the pictures and couldn't make head or tail of what I was looking at. Without a floor plan or an aerial view, I have no idea how the various areas connect. I saw what looked like two different kitchens. I'm not sure what local prices are, but it looks like a lot of square footage and acreage for the asking price. Big Al

@wtg you are brilliant

When I was old enough to be out of the house I was required to pick 70 lbs. of cotton a day. I now know that was not a lot of cotton to pick. It was enough to keep me out of the house and teach me the value of work. It also put a little money in my pocket, which was fun. I still remember the singing of the black people that were picking to feed their families. It was blues and it was beautiful. I

Nice knife. Nice bouquet. Cute little brown paper-lined garbage can. Is he going to throw those clippings away, or compost them (as he should)?

Bonne Maman is yummy. I try not to eat too much of their cherry preserves.

Mik, lol!

The town of Jerome was named after the Jerome family, and our own Grotriman is a direct descendant (it's his first name).

@Jodi that was great!

Bernard, I'd like to hear more about the Granger movement. This is the first time I'm hearing about it. It sounds interesting.
