WDW once mailed me back a shirt I'd left in a hotel room and hadn't even noticed was missing.

If you like Poldark, that's a loooong series and quite enjoyable.

There were 4 separate demonstrations in the 5 mile radius around my town. Each with hundreds, even more folk driving past and honking. Yes, Boston had great turnout, but this time the growth of local events increased the # of witnesses who saw protest first hand, whether or not it made the news.

I can't help but think this reception is registering with not only the parade participants but Army brass.

If you can't join physically, drive by local protests, honk and smile. Saw several elderly couples drive by waving flags, passenger holding a sign up, or just honking and waving. One came by multiple times! There's a real feeling of *seeing* each other and expressing appreciation.

Just got home. Our town has had a group of 10-20 people out every Saturday for months. Today there were probably 500 and hundreds of passing cars honked and waved in support. Seeing grins on the faces of those riding by was definitely uplifting.

Interesting. Just watched the first episode and everybody's so awful I was going to drop it. Maybe I'll try again.

Every time I need a new mattress and they analyze my "sleep style" and push super soft cushy mattresses at me, I tell them "I'd like something in a slab of concrete, please."

In the 1950s your chance of surviving a heart attack in the US was about 50:50. Now the death rate is about 1 in 8. The price of that is you get to die later, and/or of other stuff.

The other day I saw a reel for cheez-its in place of rice krispies for rice krispie treats. Cheez-its have gone rogue!

I once heard a family in a nearby restaurant booth after the election discussing deportations and the grandpa insisting his grandson in law would be *fine* because he was *one of the good ones.* He seemed to believe this despite his own loved ones warning him. Willful ignorance doesn't absolve you.

Keep an eye on local estate/yard sales. I got a sweet little compact combo cd/radio/speakers set that now sits proudly in my office, so I can play them. Fortunately I ripped most of them onto my itunes library about 10 yrs ago when I had a laptop with a cd port. Not sure if those exist anymore.

Made a typo (in my own name!) on AB and that typo is how my donation requests from randos are addressed. People I've donated to directly spell it right.

It will make a great supervillain compound for the tech billionaire he will sell it to in exchange for a kickback. Can't beat the views and privacy.

It's unethical not to provide the minimal standard of care if there's an established effective treatment. You CAN design a trial that tests the current best treatment (or vax) vs new treatment.

They just discovered a new class of antibiotics that appear to work on antibiotic-resistant strains and no doubt they'll kill its development.

Letting people with addiction die is entirely on brand: cruel, vindictive, and the ensuing death rates will provide pretext for increased oppression in the name of fighting drugs.

And apparently she was 55 when she died in 1980, so 46 when the show began 9 yrs earlier.
