12 days til cast comes off. Then 4-6 months til allowed to walk without the "boot". Then 5-6 months until an athlete woud be cleared to play. I'm hoping for a limited hike to a backcountry campsiite in the Smokies.on my 80th birthday. It's an old logging railroad bed,wide, smooth, moderate slope.

There are plenty of despots in history - Attilla the Hun, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Hirohito, Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump... They vary in detail but are ALL Morlocks. Left unchecked they would ALL attempt to rule the entire world viciously. Hitler got farther than most. Trump would if permitted.

What the hell. It's my birthday and I have a ruptured achilles, surgery to rebuild my foot in 9 days. 6-12 months recovery. I'm gonna eat all the ice cream I want.

Shamelessly copied from Jeff Tiedrich's article this morning. the Welland Canal is the only shipping route from the Canadian side of Lake Ontario to American Great Lakes ports.Over 26 billion dollars’ worth American goods travels through the Canal every year. It is 100% in Canada.

yes, and the many, many "little people" who get no notoriety but keep plugging away within their available sphere of influence to make things a little better for others: teachers, DHS caseworkers, food bank volunteers, medical pros, etc. These are the people who keep me from giving up.

After the devastation he has wrought on their watch a little pragmatism is in order. But some encouraging info; this looks a lot like some sort of spools thst may screw into inserts in smaller holes. Just msybe you unscrew like knobs off a cabinet. Then much less to mask.

That's what's so infuriating. Lots of people who could be standing up for what is right, for the survival of the Great Experiment, opt for self-enrichment, or succumb to threats, rather than emulate E Jean Carroll and poke the bully in the nose. They are the Sunshine patriots Thomas Payne described

3/3 stupidity is horrifying. That's the half of the population who voted for him. The "journalists" and elected representatives and obscenely rich people who kowtow to him are even worse.

Ask me how hard it is going to be selling this after 47 years of woodland, prairie, & wetland restoration. No, wait. Don't ask. Let me just put my head down and keep grinding away to finish all the "someday I gotta..." projects before I hand it off and go to some undefined future who knows where.

🧵5/5 Obviously times have changed, amendments passed so we can never get all the way back to that. But the philosophy should still prevail. Limit lobbying to meeltings in office with transcript. No gifts. None. No trips. No parties. Kill Cit Un. No PACs. Kill one-party rule. Give oversight teeth.

Trump is a vindictive malignant narcissist obsessed with the fact that he has fucked up the entire country &its' standing in the world & everyone, foreign & domestic, knows that & hates him except those those he intimidates or bribes & that Obama and Biden were excellent POTUSes. Ah has spoken.

Absodamnedlutely. Slavers never gave up. "The South shall rise again" slogan & "forget hell" license plates were common when I was growing up in Tenn. during peak of CR movement. "States rights" was the euphemism for racist hate. You had to watch what you said lest you be branded a "n----- lover."

Illinois has 17 districts. 3 red. Already gerrymandered. The blue ones are relatively small geographically, clustered around Chicago. 12, 15, and 16 are corn/soybeans/red. They COULD be combined into one- they all touch now. But creating 2 more dem districts is a challenge. Pritzker said if needed.

All of the comments criticising them for having him come be his horrible self could be dispelled in one simple move. Give the guy the award at the dinner, with a big blowup of the picture. Just before he speaks. Sumbitch would do SOMETHING awful. Some kind of tantrum. On camera.

Predictable and justifiable. Trump's one-two punch of scrapping the deal that gave a foundation for negotiation on other issues and then attacking brutally demanding they go back to their side of the deal with nothing in return is as untrustworthy as a country could be. We are all complicit.
