I mentioned it was the same in my town. I also watched the protests around the country and while there were some younger people in some of the larger cities, it appeared as if a good percentage were older adults, including a lot of the speakers, like Bernie and Bill Nye for example. Maybe it's...

There is a school in or near my little city that serves the kids who have severe cognitive issues. I wonder if that one is supported by federal funds or mostly state funds. I met a woman who has either a child or grandchild who attends that school. I have no idea who she voted for as we didn't...

The NPR article claims it's over 30, but an investigation by the NYT says it's over 140 who have been fired, including an EMT, a nurse, some college teachers, other teachers, etc. Many of these people...

When I read an obituary about her earlier today, I kept thinking of her in "Annie Hall"......La de da. I forgot how many Woody Allen m movies she stared in earlier in her career. The obit I read said her cause of death is unknown.
