Clothes washed in the morning *almost* dry now during the day on the clothesline. Sunshine is the great disinfectant for odor-causing bacteria too. Your cleaning tip for the day.
Watching Doctor Finlay on AcornTV. Scottish series from the 90s based on books Michael K has mentioned, by A J Cronin. Very enjoyable so far.
There are now 13 states with no mask mandate.
Everyone excited for National Women’s Month?
I’ll start it off: Women, yeah!
But does this include 6’2”, 220lb women with a beard, cock and balls?
If not, why not?
Listening to Rush’s show (out of habit). Terrible guest host, as usual.
Half the time is spent running decades-old clips of Rush. Pointless.
They producers/family/whoever has a say in the show had better figure it out quickly because I won’t be tuning in anymore.
It will be eight weeks tomorrow and the question remains:
Who killed the unarmed Ashli Babbitt?
"Clothes washed in the morning *almost* dry now during the day on the clothesline."
Nothing better than sun-dried clothes.
Because of space constraints we had a combo washer/dryer in Japan.
We would run it in the morning and hope the clothes were dry by dinner.

Started watching For All Mankind this evening. Watched the first two episodes. It's not really grabbing me so far.
Rush can’t be replaced. He can’t even be imitated.
I have been watching Mars close in on The Seven Sisters every night. Well, my dad called them the “Seven Sisters” anyway, I never knew the term Pleiades ’til I read it in a book. It seems like watching the "seven sisters" get attacked by Mars has more drama.
We'll find out who took Lady Gaga's dogs before we learn who killed Ashli Babitt.
Getting my COVID jab Thursday morning. AZ opened them up to ages 55 - 64. 50,000 vaccination appointments were taken in 2 hours.

Compare to WA state: when a drive-in site opens up, it's for 800-1000 injections a day. For one day. Or, perhaps 2-3 days. They open up every couple of weeks or so. We are still on the 65+ group (which includes me, so I am grateful, but my Millenial kids won't get their protection until. . . .let's see - SEPTEMBER (according to the experts).
Arizona governance is obviously far more competent than my home state (life-long Washingtonian).
Question for Arizonians - hubby and I could not live there year round, but we are at least analyzing the worth of living 6+ months in a Red state (voter registration, taxes, etc). So, how red is Arizona? Hanging by a thread? Pretty solid (like Texas)? Trolls nee3d not comment.
Been reading the four-part Donald McNeil saga on Medium.
He still comes across as utterly clueless. Makes you wonder how someone with so little understanding of how the world around him has changed can do his job at all.
But the story is also very well done, and seems very believable. A good read.
Of course, it is also very sobering: McNeil's particular cluelessness aside, it shows progs can do anything to anybody for any reason at any time. No one is safe.
A morality tale for the prog age.
A book for the age of woke: My Mind on Trial, Milovan Djilas. He was in the Yugoslav leadership but got purged. Excellent book.

Biden is said to have issued some sort of order to the states to prioritize teachers for the vaccine. Setting aside the question of why that makes sense I would ask on what authority does he base this order? Perfectly legit reaction from the states: LOLGF. Right?
Meanwhile in Maine some teachers are whining and complaining about the State's age based plan. They can have mine if they'll shut up. On second thought, That would be appeasing and enabling. Get in line, whiners!
Good point

Oh give them your shot, you don’t really want it anyway.
In WI teachers and daycare providers can get the vaccine, thanks Governor Evers! My niece will be getting hers on Friday.
thanks Governor Evers!
Be nice, say thanks to Trump too.
249 people arrested for Jan 6th riot. Looked up their arrest warrants online. Guess how many were arrested for assault on a police officer?
Seven. Yes, that's correct. 7.
That's it. One guy tossed a flag pole. Three got in shoving matches with police. One hit the police in the chest with a baton, another hit the police in the body with a lacrosse hockey stick!
And weirdly two were charged with assault with a deadly weapon because one used a helmet and the other used a stick to bash in the windows of a Capital Hill door when the police were on the other side. yes, that's right. The the police were BEHIND A DOOR, and the two guys smashed in the door windows. And that's "assault on a police officer"!
The other 242 were charged with "Trespassing". Or "Impeding a police officer" or "Being in a restricted area" or "Damaging Govt Property".
What a fake CRISIS. What a fake INSURRECTION. Fake! Like our Fake fucking Republican Party that went along with this charade and supported 25,000 National Guard troops.
200,000 Trump supporters and he's to blame because 800 people walked into the Capital Building and stole nancy's lectern. And because 7 nuts got into some sort of ruckus with the police.
For this, nancy pelosi wanted 25,000 NG troops and machine nests at Biden's inaugural. Insane!
narciso, I had some Goya yellow rice last night. Time to buy more.
Two days ago my kids and I were sitting in a fairly crowded diner for breakfast.
I've been largely in the "take precautions and get on with life" camp on COVID, but this level of crowding was getting near my discomfort threshold. I was relieved when our server asked if she could open the windows behind us. Beautiful day, strong breeze, fresh air.
I watched a man wearing an N95 mask pull one door handle, then another. He stood in the inner doorway, used those same fingers to really rub both eyes, then came in and sat down.
Sebastian,
"McNeil's particular cluelessness aside, it shows progs can do anything to anybody for any reason at any time. No one is safe."

President Biden said today that by May every adult American can be vaccinated. I hope he’s right, I want my entire family vaccinated by summer. I get my second shot (Pfizer) March 28th, first shot was unremarkable, just a slightly sore arm. Most of my friends and acquaintances are finally getting appointments, after a frustratingly slow start. They must be getting much more vaccine than the last several weeks.
Its been a staple for my entire life rice beans plantains are ok

With education being deemed essential infrastructure since the beginning of the shut-down, CDC has deemed education staff to be essential workers for vaccine prioritization since the first vaccine came on-line during the Trump Administration.
More states going Full Open.

I also included the trailer for the latest poirot tale with gal gadot, as luminous as ever and in ironic twist perhaps the last film role arnie hammer will ever have.
OM, there’s a lot more vaccine available this month. My healthcare provider still hasn’t sent me that “invitation”. If I hadn’t taken the initiative I’d still be waiting for my vaccine. I was just lucky to find some at Walgreens. They scheduled both 1st and second doses right away.

Half of Wisconsin seniors have not yet been vaccinated. Regardless of any mealy mouth denial by the State, young people are jumping the line.
With education being deemed essential infrastructure since the beginning of the shut-down, CDC has deemed education staff to be essential workers for vaccine prioritization since the first vaccine cam on-line.
No. The CDC was clear. The CDC said weeks ago it was safe for teachers to return to the classroom for in person learning, without the vaccine. The CDC only adjusted that science based determination, on orders from the Biden White House.
Thousands districts across the nation have been 100% in person learning since August. 1000's of live laboratories giving proof to the safety inherent in the classroom.
Original Mike,
Walgreens in Madison has vaccines right now\
Inga is cheering because political influence is being used to divert vaccines from those at high risk to those at low risk.
Pretty much makes a mockery of everything she has said about covid.
Evers should be seeing that seniors get them. But they don't fund his campaign.
Since weve imported andrea palms horrible trecord to the Capitol i expect things will get worse.
“Inga is cheering because political influence is being used to divert vaccines from those at high risk to those at low risk.
Pretty much makes a mockery of everything she has said about covid.”
Oh shut up Ken, sometimes you are such a prissy little bitch. Teachers are not low risk. I know a teacher who has been VERY ill with Covid for over two weeks, as well says her husband and brother who lives with them. The 14 year old daughter who couldn’t go to school because of Covid at home had to take care of them.
By now, new cases have dropped by 77%; deaths, similar; hospitalizations, similar. They won't let us be free here in Wisconsin but elsewhere, as in Texas, state governments have got out of the tyranny business. In those states, the government says: "If you need to take care, do so. They say: respect those taking extra care, covid isn't gone, it's still hunting down people, especially those over 65. But on your way, live, be free." If only we were like that here. Every ruined business, every child without schooling from now on, all the debts that pile up on the unemployed in the hospitality industry - that's all on Evers.
OM, I JUST read in a couple of different places that there is a lot of vaccine THIS week, but then it’s going to slow down again for a couple of weeks. If you really want that vaccine, hit the Walgreens website, be proactive instead of complaining like an old grandma.
Don’t complain, they are using the one dose Johnson and Johnson on teachers and saving the good stuff, Pfizer and Moderna for us old people.
“Wisconsin plans to direct its more than 47,000 doses of the new Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine next week to teachers, which may allow other groups recently made eligible and those coming next to get shots sooner, state officials said Tuesday.
This is going to help us move through the educator workforce more quickly, and that will open up for others coming behind them,” said Julie Willems Van Dijk, deputy secretary of the state Department of Health Services.”

Inga - I am scheduled for Thursday. My point, which you ignore, is that when the State said they were opening up to teachers they would not be taking vaccinations from seniors. You trumpeted their claim here. It simply isn't true. How could it be true when so many seniors are still waiting?

Sigh.
Since at least August 2020, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has listed education workers as front line essential critical infrastructure. CDC and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have followed CISA in determining vaccination priority.
https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Version_4.0_CISA_Guidance_on_Essential_Critical_Infrastructure_Workers_FINAL%20AUG%2018v2_0.pdf
Under that designation, as early as December 2020, ACIP/CDC listed education staff as being in Phase 1-B.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm695152e2-H.pdf
I read Donald McNeil’s sad story. It should be subtitled “Diary Of A Useful Idiot.”
“By now, new cases have dropped by 77%; deaths, similar; hospitalizations, similar.”
No that is not accurate. There were still almost 2000 deaths yesterday.
Teachers are not low risk. I know a teacher who has been VERY ill with Covid for over two weeks, as well says her husband and brother who lives with them. The 14 year old daughter who couldn’t go to school because of Covid at home had to take care of them.

So the fuck what?
the plural of anecdote isn't data, and this isn't even a fucking plural.
Schools are open in many places, closed in many places, and in a nearly perfect controlled experiment, in some places (like large parts of california), the PRIVATE schools are OPEN while the PUBLIC schools are CLOSED.
Any difference in infections amongst teachers? Obviously not, or the unions would have screamed about it.
You're such a fucking idiot, inga.
The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends the following phasing of vaccinations:
Phase 1a: Healthcare personnel and long-term care facility residents
Phase 1b: “Front line essential workers” and persons age 75 or greater. The CDC recommendations define “frontline essential workers” as:
* First responders (e.g., firefighters and police officers)
* Corrections officers
* Food and agricultural workers
* U.S. Postal Service workers
* Manufacturing workers
* Grocery store workers
* Public transit workers
* Those who work in the education sector (teachers and support staff members) as well as child care workers
Phase 1c: Persons age 65-74; persons age 16-64 with high-risk medical conditions; and all “essential workers” not recommended for vaccination in phase 1b.
Phase 2: All other persons aged 16 and over not already recommended for vaccination in Phases 1a, 1b or 1c.
Oh shut up Ken, sometimes you are such a prissy little bitch. Teachers are not low risk. I know a teacher who has been VERY ill with Covid for over two weeks, as well says her husband and brother who lives with them. The 14 year old daughter who couldn’t go to school because of Covid at home had to take care of them.
We shall replace science with anecdote?
If vaccine would have have went to medicos having direct contact with covid patients, and those at risk of dying, 99% of the vulnerable would be safe. And with that, we are dealing with nothing more than the flu.
I'm assuming the goal has been to save lives. Protect the vulnerable.
But there was a hidden goal, right?
“My point, which you ignore, is that when the State said they were opening up to teachers they would not be taking vaccinations from seniors.”
Mike, they are giving the teachers the Johnson and Johnson vaccine which JUST came onto the market. I don’t think the J and J vaccine will be given to seniors for a while yet, just a hunch. They are giving us the big guns. As I said all of a sudden many of the people over 65 who have been waiting are getting their shots, one after another.

@Kathry51
I'd say Arizona is a fairly red state, even with two the Democrat senators. (Sinema doesn't seem to march lock step with the likes of Pelosi, Schumer and AOC. Waiting to see what Mark Kelly does.) It's not Texas red, though. But a lot of it also depends on what part of the state you live in.
The above has been the CDC prioritization since at least December, i.e. during Trump.
There are enough legitimate things to criticize the Biden Administration for. Teacher prioritization is not one of them.
Here in D.C. - Maryland - Virginia, they have been priority vaccinating education staff for a month. They have their own dedicated system.
“If vaccine would have have went to medicos having direct contact with covid patients, and those at risk of dying, 99% of the vulnerable would be safe. “
That has ALREADY happened. Nursing homes and assisted livings and staff who accept the vaccine have already been vaccinated. There are other seniors not living in nursing homes that are vulnerable.

They're practically begging me to get it here in central New York. Nope. With two, possibly 3 close exposures and not getting it, either my supplement schedule, or my nasal irrigation daily, or I'm one of the up to 40% of the population with preexisting T-cell immunity to the dreaded covid have kept me from getting it. I only wear masks where I really cannot get service otherwise. At my nephew's wedding in the middle of covidiocy I close danced with people I have never before met. Maskless, living life to the fullest.
Anecdotes. Of the people I work with closely, the ones who've received the vaccine have had worse side effects from it than the symptoms the ones who have had the dreaded covid had. One other coworker is not getting the vaccine. He takes a medicine that weakens his immune system.
I gave blood 3 days ago. One of those places where I had to wear a mask. 4th donation during the covidiocy. Waiting on my covid antibody test results. The 3 previous were, of course, negative. 53 days from now, I'll donate another pint.
I got my first jab yesterday. It was a well run affair. Not all that much waiting. Afterwards my arthritis seemed more bothersome, but that might have been due to the crappy weather.....It's very important that teachers get vaccinated. Many of them insist on having sex with their students and this increases their risk of getting the disease exponentially.
“Anecdotes. Of the people I work with closely, the ones who've received the vaccine have had worse side effects from it than the symptoms the ones who have had the dreaded covid had. One other coworker is not getting the vaccine. He takes a medicine that weakens his immune system.”
529,214 people who got infected with Covid had the “side effect” of death.
Vaccinating teachers who are under 60 years of age and otherwise healthy is a massive misprioritization of available vaccine resources if you aren't going to do it first come first served. This isn't rocket science, but it is politics as usual.
Indeed
https://melaniephillips.substack.com/p/britains-supreme-court-gets-something
I wrote it months ago- vaccinate people over the age of 70 and all heathcare workers (this includes family members of the elderly who care for them directly) and hospital patients- do this phase simultaneously. Vaccinate anyone going into a hospital for planned procedures.
After that, a strict age criteria is what you should use- ages 60-70, then ages 50-60, etc. The way we are doing it right now, we are vaccinating a lot of people who have already had the illness or aren't susceptible to it even if a COVID infectee Frenched kissed them for half and hour.
Rush's show will die on the vine, Joe. He really was irreplaceable. I was never a listener other than by accident, and I can't imagine who could do that show and keep the audience he had. I admire the writings of Mark Steyn, but I have seen him talk- he doesn't have Limbaugh's talent for extemporaneous speaking, and it is a rare talent.
He was unique, i think steyn can carry some of the burden todd herman amd ken matthews are ok. Mark beling is a good sleep aid, ymmv

Mars is shadow of itself right now- probably not even apparent magnitude +1 right now. You needed to see Mars 5-6 months ago when it was in opposition and apparent magnitude -2 to -3. You won't get that chance again until December 2022, of course, it will be very bright and getting brighter in the months leading up to the next opposition.
They never retract

Putting sick in nursing homes, depriving them of inexpensive therapeutics, cooking the numbers so they dont match any other health protocol, then mishandling vaccine distribution.
If you want to see something easily seen in Florida but not in other parts of the continental US, Tim, look for Canopus on the southern horizon. Was best seen a month ago when it was higher on the horizon, but should still be visible in Florida just about directly south of Sirius right now.
I can find it here in Oak Ridge, but I have to get up on top of one the ridges here to get a clear view of the souther horizon, and only in late January.

Over the past year with stage 4 lung cancer, Rush wasn't up to hosting his show more than 2 or 3 times weekly - and his substitutes have always been bad. No one has said how far down the claimed 27 million listeners have fallen. But Rush signed a new 4 year deal at $70 million per year in January 2020, a month before the cancer condition was diagnosed. Whether the contract has survived his death is unknown but a deal of some kind continues.
Wife Kathryn has inherited a $50 million mansion and an estimated $600 million dollar estate, so continuation of the show likely involves her but is likely driven by the wants and needs of executives in charge at IHeartMedia. As long as local stations subscribe, they will continue to produce garbage.
I was wondering the other day whatever happened to the Kawasaki panic. Yes, there will never be retractions.
Oh blah blah blah Ken. You are a strange one. You’ve lost street cred with the Trumpsters here, you aren’t going to regain it by attacking me.
DavidUW @9:50, thank you for saying what I wanted to say. I've read this blog every day for at least a decade, and every time I see that little parrot start to sh*t up the thread, I usually bail.
I've had a rule for a few years now not to respond to her, so I'll just ask you (and stay tf out of this, parrot), what do you think she thinks of the peons (like me) that have shown up every frickin day for work since this virus started (grocery stores, home improvement stores, etc.) that have literally thousands of customers a day come through, with all their children in tow? Hundreds of children a day, in tens of thousands of stores, yet we don't matter? 'Teachers' are around what, thirty kids a day? It's disgusting and corrupt that they have the power to demand vaccinations before returning to the classroom.
I hope this BS wakes enough people up so it becomes the beginning of the end of the corrupt teachers unions.
No need to fight over teachers vs senior citizens. I went to school and I distinctly remember all the teachers were ancient.
Damn good thing Joe "won" the election, I could see Trump firing teachers that refused to return to work, a la Reagan and the air traffic controllers. Fuck teachers. All my life I've listened to how virtuous and saintly they were. Bullshit, they're glorified union thugs more entitled and self-serving than any of the unions I've worked with my entire life. BTW, the unions I worked with really were putting their health and their lives on the line daily in chemical/industrial environments.
So my local rag did something astonishing today: published a scathing editorial attacking the left. By a former NYT author, no less!
By Bari Weiss.
The silenced majority
Guaranteed to set off the usual suspects here. It's even got only a smidgen of "both sides are bad" references to OrangeManBad, but clearly hammers the left. I encourage reading it.

529,214 people who got infected with Covid had the “side effect” of death.
Yeah, so what? Most of those 529, 214, such an exact number, never received any effective treatment for covid, because the medical establishment refused to approve any. How many were prescribed budesonide? With zinc and azithromycin? How many ivermectin? HCQ? How many were given ANY treatment at all until they were in the ICU? I had a son who spent overnight in the hospital with the dreaded covid- and the only treatment he received was being on oxygen overnight. He was discharged because he received a second negative covid test from admission- and the great and renowned medical expert Dictator Cuomo forbade doctors in NY from giving someone a 3rd test. His subsequent blood donation was positive for covid antibodies. Every treatment that has been proven to be effective is most effective when given early- and the entire U.S. medical establishment doesn't treat covid with anything unless you're already near death- when any treatment is probably near useless. Like every other disease and malady known to man- and woman, let's not be sexist here- the earlier and the more aggressive the treatment, the better. Hell, we now have people who've survived rabies because some doctor somewhere decided "Hey- we know the progression of rabies symptoms. Why not treat each of them BEFORE they appear?!" and it worked. Twice now I know of. But with the dreaded covid? Well, if your symptoms get really bad, they'll keep you comfortable in the ICU until you die. Unless you're really high up in the food chain, no treatment for you.
I'm taking quercetin, zinc, and Vitamin D daily. The damned medical establishment isn't even recommending people do that! It's been known for over 2 decades that higher blood levels of Vitamin D are associated with better outcomes in almost all URIs- including tuberculosis, and lower Vitamin D blood levels with worse outcomes. And routine Vitamin D blood level testing, a CHEAP medical test, isn't yet recommended. It's "controversial".
I see that high number of deaths, and I directly blame Dr. Fauci and all US health agencies for it. Because there are treatments that work- and none of them were approved, even provisionally. When people are dying, don't do nothing- try something.
https://fortune.com/2020/07/24/budesonide-coronavirus-covid-richard-bartlett/
Gospace,
It's all about the money. Lots more cash to be made in developing and administering a vaccine than treatment with available drugs. We are on the same vitamin regimen.
The same people telling me Texas losing its mask mandate will kill people told me Cuomo deserved his Emmy. Forgive me if I'm not inclined to believe those people's analysis.
I want to congratulate the March lamb but don’t put away the wool yet.

Yeah, it's sad that it didn't live up to the hype of millions dead. And I can't recall seeing even one dead granny on the sidewalk outside a hospital. Makes me wonder about those early videos of people falling over on the street in China.
Iowan2 said, "But there was a hidden goal, right?"
The object, as near as I can see, is to get rid of as many seniors as possible. It seems to be working. At least in blue states. Even though I was considered essential I am last on the list of people getting vaccinated.
First the governor. Then his croneys and sycophant's. Then big donors. After that connected drs. Then all other medical people, first responders, and teachers. Senior care providers,(not seniors themselves).Grocery store check out people. Waste hauler personnel. Then I can , if I'm lucky, and any vaccine is available at any one of several dozen hospitals, I can make an appointment and worse case scenario drive a couple of hours and stand in line to get a shot.
Democrats love fucking things up so that they can go on and fuck even more stuff up. The Biden administration in a nut shell.
"And I can't recall seeing even one dead granny on the sidewalk outside a hospital. "
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed 85 refrigerated trucks to New York City to serve as temporary morgues, where hospitals will place the overflow of bodies, as the coronavirus death toll climbed steadily on Monday.
The additional truck space could double the capacity of city morgues, upping it from 3,500 bodies to 7,000, NY's Medical Examiner’s Office (OCME) said.. - Fox News last year
Notice though that Cuomo and DeBlasio declined to use the hospital ship that Trump sent because they didn’t want to give him any good publicity. How many people did that kill? Nobody will ever even think about it, much less investigate it.
"I see that high number of deaths, and I directly blame Dr. Fauci and all US health agencies for it. “
It’s hard not to. Because of the way the EU has screwed the pooch on vaccines, I think that the US will end up in better shape than the EU with its draconian lockdowns when this is all over. You can thank Trump for that.
"There were still almost 2000 deaths yesterday.”
That was a local peak in the curve, a month ago deaths were running 4000, so while you can quibble with the exact percentages, it’s hard to know precisely, deaths are dropping fast.

She's a fucking dumbass leftie, so she can speak for all fucking dumbass lefties.
She's lives in Waukesha county, and speaks for all that live there.
Notice she doesn't mention how this teacher got it? Was there a breakout of COVID in her school? Dullard.

The year is 2031. Speaker: “In the past, Chinese people were often depicted in cartoons as wearing shapeless smocks with wide-brimmed hats and two flopping pigtails.”
That’s insulting. Show me an example.
“I can’t.”
Why?
“We eliminated most of the images. A few were saved for historical purposes.”
Can you call them up on your personal information device?
“I might, but I don’t want to.”
Why?
“If someone saw me look at the pictures from a hundred years ago, they might draw the wrong assumptions, or feel unsafe if they saw the images themselves.”
One of the advantages of living on the east coast and going to bed fairly early is that I miss most of the dumb stuff that piles up here as these threads get longer.
Restaurant staff, people working in factories and care workers had among the highest death rates, followed by taxi drivers and security guards.
Nurses were more than twice as likely as their peers to die of coronavirus.
Secondary school teachers may have been at slightly, but not measurably, higher risk than the average.
The ONS looked at death rates from coronavirus in England and Wales between 9 March and 28 December 2020.. - BBC
Teachers should have been working. The cost to this generation is probably not calculable.
Lockdowns were just a way to shift the COVID burden to the poor.
Are the poor kids back in school yet?
I'd say Arizona is a fairly red state, even with two the Democrat senators. (Sinema doesn't seem to march lock step with the likes of Pelosi, Schumer and AOC. Waiting to see what Mark Kelly does.) It's not Texas red, though. But a lot of it also depends on what part of the state you live in.
Tucson is deep blue with an idiot Mayor who has survived a recall effort so far. There are rumors that she might get a Biden admin job so there is some hope. I don't know much about Phoenix. Outside the cities is pretty red. The Governor is a squish but GOP, more RINO.

Phoenix isn't too bad, but it depends on which burb you live in. Phoenix proper is blue, but to too bad. Glendale, Peoria, Avondale; basically the whole West Valley is reliably red. Scottsdale is iffy. Fountain Hills is supposed to be the Fourth Reich. Tempe/Chandler is dominated by ASU and is very blue. Mesa makes Texas look like the Soviet Union.
I was going to say that even TX may be fairly purple already. I am considering buying a FL property for snowbird use and to avoid WI income tax for 1/2 the year. Those savings alone will subsidize a large portion of the housing costs.

I expect that AZ may end up being that way soon due to the influx of Californians.
I'm disappointed that Seuss is stopping publication of books, self-censoring itself. I've never read of someone who bans books being on the right side of history ever.
However, I've always thought On Beyond Zebra a stupid book, and I never really got into And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street either (The others I haven't read).
You need to get out more
(Laughing) Boy ain't that the truth. But I work for UW, so that's not happening. They UW System is firmly in the grips of the OMG'ers re: COVID.
Biden's order and teachers demands ("Educators") for vaccination are irrational and ignorant of the facts. In classroom teachers are not at high risk for Covid exposure and infection.
For the judiciary to be an effective force for conservatives, we need, ironically enough, ACTIVIST conservative judges.
Example: Repealing all government pension plans as titles of nobility. Ending all qualified immunity and government workers' unions.
Getting creative, like, the government requiring me to do its work for it (i.e. collect sales taxes) is a violation/no different from quartering soldiers without my permission and a violation of the third amendment.
Ending all torture of interstate commerce, Wickard v. Filburn and all that. End the FBI as unconstitutional except as law enforcement for fugitives (oh wait, that's the US Marshals. Guess we'll just have to end the FBI). Ditto for ATF, DEA, department of education, everything that the Feds do that should be state law.
Take a chainsaw to regulations. Not picking off one here or there, but real nuclear law fare. destroying the underpinnings of the regulatory state (Chevron, etc).
Use the courts for conservative causes the way the liberals do. That's the only way to win this aspect of the war.
You know what prevent defense does? Prevent you from winning.
Just saying. since it's an open thread and all.
President Biden said today that by May every adult American can be vaccinated.
President Trump said last September every adult would be vaccinated by the end of April. Did you throw your panties at him, too?
"and I never really got into And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street either (The others I haven't read).”
If you still have it, they are going for $400 on Amazon.
