Chili - meat, lots of spices, 2 or 3 cans of beans and some corn meal. Commit to eating some once a day all week. Use as a bowl of chili with cheese, as taco filling, on nachos, on chili dogs or take to a potluck.

Fund public defenders at least 70% as generously as prosecutors.

Historical fiction set in the 80's - two classmates loose their fathers in the Chernobyl explosion, one Jewish, one strongly antisemitic. Winner of the Sydney Taylor Silver Medal.

Don't forget Arizona Rep Ciscomani, a Republican, born in Mexico who gave the response to Biden 's state of the union address a few years ago.

I came to say this. It wouldn't need a precise color match.

I did miss you! Both my kids are doing much better and my school is doing a major library remodel this summer.

Sen. Klobuchar spoke in Sedona last year- seems like she she should be in front of every protest in her hometown.

Maybe we return the US Virgin Islands to Denmark? They belonged to Denmark until 1917.

I also have a wonderful young man who doesn't have community or friends. Praying that you find the help you both need.

Absolutely required for browning grilled foods, like cheese sandwiches. Does not belong in cold foods, like salads.

Both my kids are older than ice, people forget how recent it is. And most fundamentally foreign people and foreign stuff need to be handled by different agencies again.

I've read lots of middle school papers and this paper needs better, more specific, vocabulary. Pure general wish casting.
Middle school vocabulary-
Testing, acute v. chronic, radiology, counseling, physical therapy ....

And he talks about 50 year cycles in American history! I didn't think he could possibly be this right.

I called in sick. A first grade class with 3 immigrant kids was scheduled to come for library time today and I realized that I couldn't happily read the stories I had selected.

No need. Cuba gets all of its oil from Venezuela; this is devastating for them.

My flashback is Noriega. An illegitimate leader of a South American country accused of major drug sales was captured, flown to Florida, and imprisoned for the rest of his life.
