(My family vacationed in Detroit and the Lelanau Penninsula that year, wore masks, and didn't get infected because Big Gretch took summer vacation seriously.

An up close encounter with Turning Point. Say what you will, it is not intellectual and shouldn't have been around schools.

SC rules profiling legal. Better run out and get botox, filler, fake tan, a bunch of golf clubs and a big watch so you don't get profiled as Antifa.

I cannot express how sick I am of self-declared "free speech champions" who actually censor speech, threaten journalists, ban books, monopolize the media, and spy on us. So it is meaningful to me to work with people who have the power and commitment to push back against that nonsense.

But her calls for genocide were met with an invitation. Maybe because she wore a cross at a TP event?

I agree that numerical evaluations are not helpful and lead to gaming the system. At the U of Iowa, we had to write a paragraph for an evaluation. You can quickly sus out who has something valuable to say when they have to do more than check a box.

I'm finding out that a lot of people in my locality have been maimed by Dr. Dobson.

Dos anyone look at the old logo and think about the old navy joke about "your time in the barrel"? I didn't used to but I do now and hopefully, this politician will have her time in the barrel soon. www.facebook.com/MillerMeeksI...

It's not the Signal Leak but Iowa's annual Prairie Chicken count has been cancelled.

The big wind is here. I put my purse and computer in the basement. Car in the garage. Did I forget anything?

Has "efficiency" gone too far?

Amway is still big in my hometown, funding Republicans and pushing dreams. They are into selling wellness products which might explain a few things about current confirmation hearings.

Looking for these shoes, I went to a shoe store in North Carolina that carried this brand. (I wanted them for a trip to Seattle.) Noting my Northern accent, the clerk said, we don't have rain here. This is the South. A few weeks later, I drove the Hurricane Helene bypass to I-40. It snowed.
