I’m there!
Please tell P that I said Howdy!
Sitting by the lake - he’s got the right idea!
I think it was Seattle that was converting some buildings at the airport to house the homeless. I don’t know if they are forcing them, probably not.
You’re right about the arrogance of spreaders.
You are welcome.
So glad you are getting to visit with your sister and your family even if it is just virtual.
That’s what I told him. We will go out for drives and sit next to lake or at the overlook (on a clear day we can see the power chimneys at Madison —50 miles away). We also have paths around our property to walk.

Statement from the President
At my direction, the United States Army will award the Presidential Unit Citation to the 30th Infantry Division. More than 75 years ago, Soldiers of the 30th Infantry Division slept in their foxholes after hastily taking defensive positions around the small town of Mortain, France. They woke to find themselves under attack by an entire German Panzer Corps. Through this assault, Adolf Hitler gambled to keep American forces from breaking out of the Normandy beachhead and into the open countryside. The Nazi plan required the Panzer forces to cut through the 30th Infantry Division en route to the sea. However, the actions of the 30th Infantry Division would prove to be decisive in blunting this attack.
Nicknamed the “Old Hickory Division” because its Soldiers hailed from National Guard units from North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia – all States closely associated with President Andrew Jackson – the 30th Division Soldiers proved as tough as their unit’s namesake. The situation they faced on August 6, 1944, was dire. They found themselves confronted by overwhelming enemy armor, and the German Panzers broke through their lines. The Old Hickory Division, however, did not stop fighting. It pressed its cooks, clerks, and drivers into service as riflemen. The Division’s artillery protected its encircled and isolated elements with a constant barrage of fire. At daybreak, American and British close air support arrived to help. By the afternoon of August 7th, the German attack stalled and the Division quickly counterattacked to relieve its trapped elements, through another five days of fierce fighting. More than 2,000 Old Hickory Soldiers were killed or wounded during the
weeklong battle, but their efforts and sacrifice would have a profound impact on the course of history.
After the War, eight units within the 30th Infantry Division were recognized with the Presidential Unit Citation. Today, I am proud to direct the Army to honor the remainder of the Division and attached units with the Presidential Unit Citation for their heroic stand at Mortain. This action rightfully recognizes our Veterans who triumphed against incredible odds, as well as those who died during a critical battle that helped ensure the Allied victory in Europe.
That’s great! How many children do you have?
That’s pretty bad, lol.
Good. You are in the eastern part of the state, right?
Hi, exit!
Sunshine and fresh air are good. I read that during the Spanish flu, the makeshift hospitals outside had better recovery rates because fresh air and sunshine are good for overcoming illness.
We all need a break every now and then!
So true.

We're all taking turns sitting and distancing each other with our redneck corona sticks.
Our group is very odd compared to the other lake visitors who are staying inside their toilet paper igloos.
