Just like covid

Thousands of Texas families hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic waited up to 12 hours to put food on the table this holiday season — as the state grapples with a surge in infections. The normally quiet grounds of Fair Park in Dallas was home to the North Texas Food Bank’s largest giveaway of food since coronavirus spread through the state, the Dallas Morning News reported. Saturday’s Thanksgiving-themed event handed out food to about 8,500 families facing financial stressfrom the growing crisis — 17 times more people than the annual event usually serves. Photos from the event showed traffic backed up for miles as people waited for hours in their cars for a package containing a frozen turkey, 20 pounds of canned goods and 15 pounds of fruits and vegetables along with bags of bread. Armando Castillo camped out overnight to get first dibs and waited more than 10 hours. “We’re really appreciative of food drives because if this didn’t happen, I guess we’d be back home farming for ourselves,” Castillo told the Dallas Morning News. “They also get food from their school — that’s why we have been able to make it lately,” he said of the family’s children. Two hundred volunteers worked through the night to prepare the event and load deliveries to local churches into U-Hauls. North Texas Food Bank president and CEO Trisha Cunningham said the pandemic has exposed previously hidden food insecurity in North Texas. Since mid-March, the food bank has given out about 70.8 million pounds of food. “So many people need it right now, and there is no stigma attached if you’re coming through this line. You will be served with dignity and respect,” Cunningham told the paper. The seven-day moving average of COVID-19 cases in the Lone Star State is now 9,807, up from 3,932 a month ago, according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from Saturday.

I'm bummed there's only one episode left. I've enjoyed this show a lot.

I remember your mom's screen debut.

Found the necklace, and also noticed that the pillow between their legs appears to match Zac Efron's bathing suit from Baywatch.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

Jeez, haven't you listened to our intrepid leader at all this year? One day (very soon) it's just going to go away (like magic!) We're rounding the corner right now, in fact... Ahem... senior hour begins at 6 AM, though I'm planning a 2 or 3 AM visit in the next couple of days to my 24 hour store. (I'm not a senior quite yet, but I'm disabled, with lung issues, so I'm allowed to go during the senior hour.)

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that it will still be necessary to social distance, wear masks and take other COVID-19 precautions after a vaccine becomes available to Americans. “I would recommend to people to not to abandon all public health measures just because you’ve been vaccinated,” Fauci told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “Because even though for the general population it might be 90 to 95 percent effective, you don’t necessarily know for you how effective it is.” The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases added that once he receives a vaccine, he still won’t feel comfortable completely letting down his guard. “I can feel more relaxed in essentially not having the stringency that we have right now, but I think abandoning it completely would not be a good idea,” Fauci said.

North Dakota governor finally issues mask mandate as COVID crushes state North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum on Friday issued a statewide mask mandate, a reversal for a Republican who has resisted the measure but whose state remains in the crucible of one of the country’s deadliest coronavirus outbreaks. The order, which took effect on Saturday, requires North Dakotans to cover their faces in stores and in outdoor spaces where distancing is impossible, Burgum said. No state in the U.S. has logged a higher rate of COVID-19 deaths per capita than North Dakota over the past week, according to The Washington Post. And hospitals in the lightly populated northwestern state have filled up to their limit. “Right now, the data demands a higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse these dangerous trends, to slow the spread of this virus and to avoid the need for economic shutdowns,” Burgum, 64, said in a brief speech posted to social media. Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, lamented woeful levels of mask use in North Dakota during a visit last month to Bismarck, the state capital. “Over the last 24 hours as we were here and we were in your grocery stores and in your restaurants and frankly even in your hotels, this is the least use of masks that we have we seen in retail establishments of any place we have been,” Birx told reporters on Oct. 26, according to The Bismarck Tribune. “And we find that deeply unfortunate.”

So your mother was a delicate, dainty little thing who never cursed, right? Or was she a truck driver? I've always said "When it comes to country music, I don't know shit from Shania."

When did you start compiling your list? 2017? Most of these series are no longer on TV. He's been terrific ever since they started his bipolar storyline last season. The intervention scene this week (shot before covid) was very impressive.

I'm a non-practicing Jew, but occasionally there are spiritual or Christian songs I like, such as this one from THE REAL co-host Adrienne Houghton and her hubby, which I found very soothing: From Dolly Parton: (love the big crescendo ending) From Donna Summer: My sister had this 45 from Melanie (Safka):

These were some of my mom's expressions I remember from when I was a young'n: 1. (About my father) He may not always be right, but he's never wrong. 2. (He/she has) Klass with a capital K. 3. (Instead of damn or fuck when frustrated) Your father's mustache! (he was always clean-shaven) 4. (He's a) Big shot, dot the i. (somebody with an inflated sense of self-worth) What are some of the expressions you remember your parents using when you were young? BTW, did you notice that those expressions all seem to be applicable to Trump?
