If my kids weren’t in their 30s, I would need somewhere to send them while I went to work if the schools were closed. Most people’s 2nd choice around here is the Park District.

My Dad used to say that my mother had a relative in every wide spot in the road in Texas - so I know a bit about the state although I don’t live there and I found too many of her critics didn’t check out.

My son pays a lot of attention to polls and has been telling me that she has consistently been the most popular politician in Texas - by a lot. Also, he likes her and so do his gamer friends.

That helps make schools available to use as a voting site but makes places that entertain kids who are not in school unavailable. It helps absolutely no one except for non-essential state employees not involved in working the election get time off to vote.

Focaccia is delicious but not a success. Recipe from King Arthur’s newest bread book. Bottom is perfect. Top is burnt - did not rise much. My kitchen is very cold so maybe a longer rise, slightly lower cooking temp and avoiding the broiler step will be more successful.

Provide some examples where this has happened. There is a far longer list of unarmed people neutralizing the threat from a shooter.

My son is the only person I know who has watched that movie multiple times. It was so bad he had to analyze how bad it was.

I found my set of star cookie cutters that make a tree - Maybe I should experiment with making the top star or two out of candy. I remember making stained glass sugar cookies as a kid.
