This is never going away, is it?

I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!

My home Internet went kersplat, and I raced to the library for its wifi and ample table outlets for my work laptop. I worked for five hours straight. LIBRARIES. They have been there for me all my life.

Andrew Scott is a contemporary artist renowned for his bold "frame-breaking" creations, where characters in his paintings seem to penetrate through glass. Through this unique creative approach, Scott explores themes of freedom, solitude, and resilience. Artist: @andrewscott_art #art #visualart
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
Any more it sure is 🤬 sigh
Such gorgeous weather lately
Got THAT right. We had some of them smashed tonight with a mustard-caper gravy and meatballs. It was wonderful. Oh, and slices of Paul Robeson tomatoes 🥰🥰🥰
Mine too ❤️
Soooo cool!!😅🤓😎 This vid shows this guy working with a chainsaw, axe and wedges to top a tallll pinetree, and the cable used to direct its fall. Watch to the end for the grand finale! Was not surprised to learn he's been climbing in Yosemite for 20 years.😅💪💪
The largest wildfire burning in the state of Washington is still alive today thanks to brave federal U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents who arrested firefighters caught in the act of attempting to kill it.
this must be what it feels like to be jamelle bouie 😂
Dude, a solid week of ribs, pizzas, and tacos would push ANYbody’s BMI into the red 😉
There’s a vaccine for being over 65?! Yay! 😵💫😉😎
Thanks, Laurel. Lordy I need these images these days. 😵💫😊
Hilarious that being older than 65 is now a pre-existing condition 😵😡😡
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
My goodness, what’s next - a strongly worded statement?
Guaranteed! Thank you.
Well, Mike - I certainly WAS hoping for a good harvest, but I freely admit to being sorta stunned by the first year success…
I bought about 100 mesh bags for storing these veggies. And yes, I will likely hang them from the ceiling 😉😎
Poor planning on my part, truly
plus, the local older-than-me-timers already HAVE root cellars around here... 😁
Yes, we also fries them, precioussss...
I wish - should have when the guys were here building our firepit patio - woulda been simple but now seriously doubt it - I have a cool, dark, basement equipment room w/ lots of shelves, so that'll will be longer term storage. For the fall it all goes on some shelves in my garage, away from windows.
Who's asking, please? 😉😁😈
NGL, I'm kinda impressed too 😁😬
I'll keep them in mesh bags hanging in a dark, cool corner of my basement. 🤞🤞🤞
Work with me, sheesh...
A poem for this morning, about my boys.
Laughing WITH you, I'm sure 😬
What a feeling of POWER bwa-hah-hah! 😈
Not a chance. These'll hold me for the winter! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew, rinse repeat etc... 😍 Ended up just shy of a whole bushel (and I still have the other 5 Makah Ozette plants to harvest)!!!
My first ever big tater harvest - this half bushel is about 60% of the plants. OMG I am over the MOON!!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonight’s baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. 🇨🇦

Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"
Happy Happy Happy Birthday, Mike! Here’s hoping Whiskers got you something tasteful and classy for a change…
Awwwwww
I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.
'Tis but a scratch!
sigh 🤬🙄
I cannot WAIT for them to lose their keys 😉🤣🤬
Vaccines do not cause autism.

...as it should be!!!
VERY cool perspective, Marina!

No sh!t haha. Always.
Thanks, Marina - all true!
They are ALWAYS in charge 😉🤣
Dinomania!!! What a THRILL!!!! I love the local herd - they’re hysterical - defending their turf and posing for the hens!!!
Fair enough. I believe there’s a place for both. The results seem to agree. 😉
So, in grow bags I admittedly grew them in miracle grow potting soil. So maybe either amend the soil to lighten it, or get some grow bags. 🥰
…and how cool is THAT!!! 😎
Hokey smokes, Rocky!!!!!
And OMG are they nice roasted!!!
Otherwise, treat ‘em like taters - mulch, fertilize, etc. pretty doggone easy. 😉
Ohhhh Vanessa - just do it. These Makah Ozettes (Burpee) are apparently a PNW thing, and you can just grow them in the ground, or like I did, in big grow bags. Mine are probs 3 feet round and 2 to 3 deep, and they were perfect. CANNOT recommend these beauties enough!!!
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
GO YOU!!!!! 🙏😍😎
Yay for the Chunkster!!!
😉🙄🙏
Force-fed arghhhh
💯💯💯
…and I would graciously hand some over, trust me.
Thank you. Thankfully we have old friends coming to stay with us this weekend, who will be forced to fed ‘maters and ‘taters daily 😜😜😜
You know, when it’s all together like that, it’s OUT OF CONTROL
plotting tater-centric meals now...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😐😕😱
