There's a lot of hate in our land.

Sometimes I see it expressed on DU.

This is a sad thing for all Americans and for all people.

I love your story, Sprinkle, as well as the prayer.

Your spontaneity is a blessing to you and to others.
Your generosity is returned to you in the grace you receive for the balance of your day.
Thanks for sharing.

The many broadcasts of talks or forums presnted by Heritage, Cato Institute,

Federalist Society -

All these irk me no end, though I get it that such are readily available as they're financed conservative big money, such as Koch Bros., etc.
Democrat or even nonPartisan groups don't have the money to put on these programs continuously.

They believe their natural immunity (read "testosterone") will protect them....

And how long do those antibodies last? - No one individual knows.

And how strong is the natural immunity in any one individual?
Again, no one knows, including the affected person.

Get the vaccination, please.
Do not risk other people's health.

Mike Gibbons has had a frequent television ad presence for about a month,

leading off with his handling a football.
This is a big turnoff to me and causes me to immediately want to turn the channel.

Obviously, his handlers etc. must believe it is an attention grabber, at least to those who would vote in the Republican primary.
To each his own.

Former Senator Joseph Donnelly (D- Indiana) will be nominated by President Biden

to be the US ambassador to the Vatican.
Senator Donnelly is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, class of 1977, majoring in Political Science, and of the Univ. of Notre Dame College of Law. He has also taught at Notre Dame.

What about other countries in the world?

Are people more compassionate in the European countries hard hit by Covid?
How about Asia, especially India, so terribly affected?
South America, especially Brazil and Argentina? Chile? Peru?

Just asking..
I don't know the answers.

I presume this type of trash gets reported to proper authorities.

Likely just a hater, but someone needs to keep track of them.

Congratulations!! You started off with a tough one.

Pacific Ocean is not for sissys. Cold, rough water. Atlantic is a little easier for starters, especially in SC area, etc.

Hope you get to fulfill one or more of the next few before long!!
