Last night. 9:00 p.m.

Our neighborhood is mixed. 60% Black, 10% Latino 30% white. No conflicts. Little intermingling except with immediate neighbors. So back to last night.

On any given night, there are 5 or 10 cars parked on the street. Last night, there were around 30 that were parked in the vicinity of one of the houses. It is either Black owned or with a Black tenant. 5 guys were on the sidewalk, close together, no masks. The house is small. The back yards in our block average 100 sq. ft.

Given the parameters and observed behavior, it is likely the participants were not practicing social D or proper masking.

This affects all of our health: Mine and theirs. Doing nothing, risked the community's health.

I debated notifying the police about the violation of our state's health order. Were these white people, no question in my mind. But our police department is under legal sanctions because of prior interactions with Black residents.

I did nothing. What would you have done?

Edited to add, I am a geriatric white guy... and to add "not" to the 4th., single sentence paragraph.

His strategy is...

Make an assholic statement or lie.

---he is challenged.

His response is that the interviewer is wrong. "Bring me the paper." or "People are saying."

The paper doesn't show up and the topic gets changed. Fox viewers then see he "owned the lib'tard."


Interviewers need to determine the questions they are going to ask. Then they need to have supporting documents on hand to place in his little fingers.

Chris Christie announced he is a candidate in '24.

He did such a great job for New Jersey .....

Tell ya what, Demented Don, I challenge you to a quarter mile race. I'll even give you a 300 yard head start on your golf cart.

My daughter bought 3 acres in rural, western N.J. The perimeter of her yard is filled with mature trees, maybe 75 - 90 ft. in height. We visited last evening, just enjoying the sunset. Rachel said we should stay and watch the Fire Flies. They will begin flashing in the un-mowed grass. Then they will rise higher and higher until the trees look as if they are filled with hundreds of fiber optic lights.

We stayed until 10:00, watching until the yellow lights reached the tops of the trees. Stayed, just enjoying being.

House in my neighborhood burned down. In the process, house next door was damaged. Estimates go to about $27k. Insurance adjuster offered $7k.

This is in N.J.

Any thoughts?

Have the bugger for 14 years. About two weeks ago, started "yowling" ... 2 a.m., 3 a.m., various times throughout the night. Stops around 7:00.

If I get up and pet her, she's ok for about an hour or two. She does not go in my room.

I don't believe it is pain because she does not continue this in daytime.

Thoughts?

One grandson was listed twice and another was not listed at all. Her goal was to have all grand kids share equally.

She wants to cross off one of the duplicate names, write in the missing name, initial it and date it.

Is there any way this could work?

Seems like a good deal. They average about 40% below retail.

Not quite a pet topic.

The racoon visits on a daily basis. Has 3 engorged ticks on her.

Any thoughts?
