Yeah, Chris, I haven't forgotten that you endorsed AI on the basis that *everybody's using it" ..the classic junior high level justification for something. I've never trusted your judgement since.

All the community action in Minnesota makes me proud to be a native Minnesotan and to miss living there, even in deepest January. We can all be Minnesotans, though, if we come together to support each other. SOS!

Sweet Pea looks a bit more alert than she did before. I hope she's feeling better, along with her numbers being better. Thanks for the update. I'd checked a bit ago & was concerned with no post. 😊 Have a good night and a peaceful weekend. It's been a worrisome end to your week.

I've been reluctant to get wrappers because I was worried about having a whole package to use up. How many spring rolls do I need? But you've given me great ideas (crackers!?). I'll get wrappers tomorrow! Thanks!

Thank you! I find it a tiny bit disturbing that the tipping point was reached (if this is a tipping point, which it might not be) only when a white man was murdered. My guess is there are even more victims...

I do much the same but with vintage photos. Such a window into past lives and times that has taken me on lots of investigative adventures. The change in artistic and graphic style in the postcards adds another element. Thanks for this.

I'm sorry this is where things have landed. Amazing to me how often the impossible is demanded of us by folks who have no clue. Deep breath.

Play is the truest expression of working in Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, where pushing the boundaries of knowledge is the whole point. More play, please!

Yes, and being an ICE agent is no longer an honorable job (if ever it was). No "old-timer" ICE agent can justify their work today in light of what the agency has become. Everyone must go.
