Joe Ferguson forever

Not embellishing. It was in winter. There was only 4 other visitors there. The lady I mentioned gave us her mini science experiment lecture in a lecture room - usually for kids. Told us all about herself. This is a hidden gem and people should go. There's a railroad ride in the summer that goes near it. On my bucket list https://greenbankobservatory.org

Many physicists, chemists and astronomers that work there disagree. The $10 tour we took in a diesel van was guided by the PhD Chemist widow of an astrophysicist who worked there too

Perhaps he should pay more attention to what the descendants of slaves think https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4125593-desantis-faces-backlash-from-black-conservatives/

good idea. I was thinking of teaching anatomy and physiology to nurses.

Visit the Green Bank Radio telescope complex in West Virginia. The real characters from "Contact:" worked there with SETI. There's no phone signals or even spark plug noise (they use diesels) so they can listen. The math says it's highly likely there are other sentient beings in the universe...

The R's have the house. Is their heat tolerance better than mine? In the sunbelt red states? Should we help them when they're m-e-l-t-i-n-g? Farmers Insurance co is speaking. Should we listen or make them cover Fla? Socialism...

This was pretty good, Irv

There's a reason Jamaicans still mourn him

i have a 401K. Today was a good day/week/month. Everthing is cyclical x apparently the weather. That's what is scaring me...

This is solid gold...

My American dream

BS. Go to Aldi . Buy 3 pounds of brats for $8. Some potato salad, Baked beans and cole slaw. A six pack of knock off Corona and you're good for $20. I bought the brats for a Rotary party here and everyone loved them. It also helps when everyone brings a dish.

I'm into the makers. I'm doc. He's an imposter.

Fine, yes. Genny always gave me the *****. Labatts is very good beer. Honestly, my wife is getting pissed at me laughing to myself. I think my first was truly Shlitz. I think that's what they had on tap for a New Years Eve party in a bar on Lake Ontario. They were heart up and we were underage, and they welcomed us. I think the beer on tap was Shlitz. Place burned down the next day. True story. Google it.

equals asked and answered. Slightly longer but more definitive.

Schlitz, Labatts, Genny cream? Pretty sure Genny was mine.

I feel both are apropos ( today,I learned to spell this) I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time. ... The more you say, the less people remember.

Yes but Murdoch is running an international empire

FIFY

Just another R lie...why do you MAGA's dislike truth so much. https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-reports/voter-registration-by-party-affiliation/ and this https://floridapolitics.com/archives/622494-florida-voters-still-like-ron-desantis-as-governor-and-side-with-him-over-disney/#:~:text=About 54% of voters say,%%2C say they strongly approve.

It seems some of the MAGA R's are realizing the folly in backing trump, even here, on this board. The Desantis discussion is interesting in that some are cheering for his rise in the polls. I don't think trump can be beaten in the R primary. The die is cast.

seems you didn't run into any of these folks https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/25/opinion/focusgroup-democrats-republicans-florida-desantis.html last I knew, there were still some D's living in Fla.

I like to look at the betting odds for elections. They've been quite predictive recently, there's real money on the line and the incentive isn't political but financial https://www.oddschecker.com/us/politics/us-politics

nice op ed on the education law in the NYT language isn’t quite the same. In addition to using the term “enslaved” rather than “slave” — a linguistic shift that continues to be a subject of real debate — the language for the A.P. curriculum emphasizes that Black Americans could only use these skills after Emancipation. This is key. Slaves were owned as chattel by other human beings who stole their freedom, labor and bodily autonomy. To say that any more than a fortunate few could “parlay” their skills into anything that might improve their lives is to spin a fiction. Just as important is the fact that a large majority of the Africans enslaved in North America, whether under the British Crown for the better part of two centuries or under the American Constitution for eight decades after the revolution, died in bondage. For them, there was no point after slavery where they could use their skills. You might say that these are minor, semantic differences. But in history the same ideas can be used to very different effect. And it is exactly these questions of wording and emphasis that mark one of the differences between a modern, more truthful depiction of American slavery and an older, tendentious approach that either de-emphasized or ignored outright the basic injustice of human bondage in favor of a gloss that placed a more pleasant sheen on an otherwise horrific institution. we used to like the "The Ravenous Pig" near Orlando for unusual gourmet food but lastvisit was disappointing for both food and service and we don't plan on going back to Fla...

https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-iran-doc-revealed/ Wolf, this to me is the single most important incident alleged in this entire indictment," said Honig. "Here's Donald Trump months after he left the White House and talking about war plans. He's alluding to documents. You can hear papers being shuffled, but the question is does he actually have a classified document in front of him that he's showing to these civilians with no security clearance?" The new indictment confirms the answer, Honig continued: "Those papers he was shuffling, yes, they were classified documents, they're related to war plans, and DOJ has that document. That is now a new charge in this indictment." "And that makes that incident so much worse than just Donald Trump exaggerating or bragging or bluffing, as he has suggested," Honig added. "This means he actually had that classified document in his possession. He was showing it to others, he was bragging about it, he was disseminating it, to use the legalistic word."
