Good afternoon. Last of the persimmons at lake park. The deer ate the rest of them across the street while we were funeralizing. But I did get six quarts of persimmon puree for winter breadmaking in the freezer a couple weeks ago.

It should come as no surprise that Kelly Group/Show Me Victories is running anti-abortion, pro racist/misogynist police union Steve Butz's campaign for Mo Senate. It's important for Civic Progress (rebranded Greater St Louis) to get a pro-colonization, MAGA friendly state senator for St Louis City.

Just being 50th in education is not enough for the OKGOP. In an effort to hasten the death of public education (and demolish county services) in Oklahoma, Okla State Sen Jett wants to abolish property taxes.
Oklahoma voters could eliminate property taxes • Oklahoma Voice
Oklahoma residents may get to vote to eliminate property taxes for homes they live in.
