Thank you. That needed to be said.

Top of the World, by the Carpenters. Heard it this morning, probably hadn't heard it in decades, but instantly knew it.

I especially liked, "go get a real job, man"...

What about a Kershaw-Scherzer dual finale? Lots of good storylines here.

Outstanding!

What a lovely statement. Thank you.

What funds are being used to pay ICE?

I'm wondering how long they can make us work without pay? This could go on for months...

There's a Deena Carter song about that...

Nats v. SF? We were freezing and starving over 18 innings. Tied rally towels together to make a scarf. It didn't work.

Oh, wow, the door knocker earrings! My favs...40 years ago...

Lovely. Maybe the troops can help with mulching and clean up a little litter, just like they did in DC.

Once the coffee grinder crosses over, you're done, you have to get a new one for coffee.

That was my point, really. They are so poorly trained that they mistook a crowd of people leaving a ballpark for a crowd they "needed" to control. We never got an explanation, just a "move along, ma'am"

I got pepper sprayed leaving a baseball game in DC. Yes, I was woefully unprepared for that! It never occurred to me that the cops would go after baseball fans...so I guess we need eye protection and respirators if we leave the house?

I went to Giant to pick up a prescription, and the pharmacist asked if I had time to get my COVID and Flu shots. She was ambushing everyone with, "get 'em while they last!" So, I did. I'm in Maryland.

How rude! Chris Van Hollen has decades of effective public service under his belt. He was my Congressional rep before becoming my senator. What has Jeffries ever accomplished?

People at work wear their uniforms, mostly blue, a few yellow, never red...to commemorate the day. LLAP!

Yikes! But, Priscilla is a great name for a cat. I hope she feels better soon.

I remember this scam from 2019. The taxpayers will have to pay to renovate the club and bring it up to specs for security in order to host the conference.

Or, they just charge taxpayers to change it back. We just went through this with the flip flop on military base names.

Ouch! "Excel spreadsheet"

He's not even orange anymore.

I noticed almost normal skin tone, no orange. Made me think of a body double too.

Hush puppies and sweet tea

Good practice run, though. Everyone has their memes locked and loaded for the real thing.

Lovely. And, thank you!

That's great! They are doing something useful.

You could call it "Galley Kitchen Cooking". Of course, there's no room for the cameraman, and all you see is the back of the chef, but go for it.
