Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) announced Wednesday that the state was moving to phase four of reopening, ending almost all statewide pandemic restrictions Sept. 14.

She was wearing her mask, and she had such beautiful eyes.
I told her the mask channeled my focus to her beautiful eyes.
She said “Thank you”.
I wonder if she blushed a little bit under the mask.
Some of those wonderful Christian ladies can still blush from some things.
It’s kinda wholesome.
Gov. Abbott blew his 2024 chances away when he panicked.
