I just saw this video of JD Vance “running” and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂

I like how he looks at the path for a few seconds, like he’s telling himself “I can do this. I can run.” 🏃😂 😂 😂

Husband and I have joked about writing one of those relationship books for couples. Title: "Pivot to Intimacy."

I can now announce that Chapter 1 will be called "Warmth, Not Pain."

Inspired by a talk with our cat after I tried to get him to sit on a heating pad and he clawed the shit out of me.

Photo is super weird
. Like there was a discount on this stock photo so they decided to use it to save $8.

There are also board members who are just in it as a hobby or a social outlet. Which is great, if there weren't real costs to taxpayers.

I would encourage them to take up birding instead, or perhaps start an advocacy organization. They could call it something like the Local Reporter Reporter. 😀

When people are that thirsty to get on a volunteer advisory board, or keep others off of them, it might be time to ask if they are really fulfilling their intended purpose or are instead serving as a means to give a small number of unelected people outsized influence.

Also remembering that when I moved from HAB to PC, someone w/ town told me there was "horse trading" involved to get me on the PC.

What does that tell you about how fair and transparent the process is?

It still goes on. My team does it, the other team does it.

I was on the HAB, then the PC. Met some great people, had zero impact. But I got an up-close view of how nutty and dysfunctional our town can be and how much back room influence CHALT had.

The experience ultimately led me to help start TBB.

Something for the pro-boards side to keep in mind 😉

Mad respect to all two of you who followed me BEFORE America died.
