Collier's girl here. Massive black and red tomes that came with a dandy set of junior classics. HEAVEN.

I see NASA is in need of some "legacy" parts for the Artemis liftoff. We stand ready to assist.
Great Pyrenees mix pound pup Gus wearing his custom NASA battery pack (empty 2-liters covered in dryer vent tape complete with fiery-looking streamers). The whole kit fast enough to take a medal at the Paws race a few weeks ago. On deck for NASA, should the need arise.

Well, then.
"The president is starting to get pissed with Huckabee for interfering with his negotiation," said a person familiar with the matter. "And he hasn't forgotten that his daughter refused to endorse him in the last campaign."

Jane Goodall is gone. What an amazing, full, and purposeful life. I was a tween when I read In the Shadow of Man, and it changed everything for me. She made my 1972 Arkansas world so much larger. The possibilities!

We did have passenger trains, even in rural states like Arkansas. All but gone now. This is 1946 vs 2025.

Tomorrow's move-in day for the large grandson. My God.

His Wikipedia page is...something.
Hutchinson and his former wife were divorced in 2011. He and his former spouse both used alternate forms of their names in that filing; he filed for divorce under his middle name, "Young Hutchinson." On September 4, 2012, Hutchinson's ex-girlfriend, Julie McGee, was arrested for third-degree domestic battery at Hutchinson's Chenal Woods condominium in Little Rock after she hit Hutchinson with a preserved alligator head and left him with a bleeding wound. According to journalist Max Brantley, McGee had said that she had a financial support agreement with Hutchinson. Shortly thereafter, Hutchinson formally requested that the prosecuting attorney drop the battery charges so that he could "move on without any further embarrassment.[citation needed]

In 2013, Hutchinson participated in "active shooter" training and mistakenly shot a teacher with a rubber bullet who was confronting a so-called "bad guy". The experience gave Hutchinson "some pause" but failed to shake his confidence in the training plan.[11]

My assistant measured this one at 23". We should be Guinness record-worthy by August.
Dutiful grandson measuring an enormous elephant ear leaf with a handy Stanley tape measure. Yes, that's an ASMSA t-shirt he's wearing. Go Dolphins!

Vintage 70s Mad Butcher sign. Or Governor SHS in AR. Either way, they both appear maniacal and have ill-fitting clothes.

So they DO want preferential treatment for SOME people.
SB 3 is similar to another bill, also sponsored by Sullivan, that failed on the House floor in 2023 after several passionate speeches from members of both parties. The current bill differs from its predecessor with the addition of language explicitly stating that the legislation is not meant to affect preferences provided to veterans under law based on their status as veterans.

My January reading, although I only manage 20-30 pages at a time without putting the book under a pillow and getting up to walk it off. I've got plenty to say about this, but not yet. Not even close.

Just following folks on here, planning for my Powerball winnings, and deciding what to make for dinner. Minestrone?
