BREAKING: Gov. Whitmer is working to address a surge of coronavirus cases/hospitalizations. She’s urging a two-week suspension of:

•in-person high school classes
•all youth sports
•indoor restaurant dining
•indoor gatherings with friends

Not mandatory. Only voluntary.

A reminder that the Michigan state GOP worked vigorously for most of 2020 to strip Governor Whitmer of her emergency powers - which the state Supreme Court finally did last fall.

The GOP has many Michiganders convinced that COVID is a sham, which has led to the current crisis.

The repukes stripped her of power so now she can only ask for a voluntary response

I normally don't do a lot of baking from scratch & during the height of the pandemic flour was almost impossible to find around here but pancake mix was in abundance so sought out recipes using that. My favorite is this one

cooking for one here so I halved all the ingredients so it fit nicely into a small pie tin

I also made it using pork or beef leftovers, used gravy instead of the cream of chicken soup & mixed vegs instead of the broccoli.

It is the best pot pie I have ever tasted.

Like the once non threatening OK sign, and even 'Pepe the Frog' went from harmless to a hate symbol.




I had a great shirt from a local beer company named bad frog beer years ago, it was a big, green frog giving the middle finger. I loved wearing the shirt but quit after finding out racist fascists' took the green grog symbol.
