I wasn’t worried about Russian Y. Pestis. Then Secretary Rubio was quoted as saying we didn’t need to worry. And now I’m worried.

Hey terrible news! Mn Sen. Ann Rest has cut the HCMC-saving sales tax plan from 1% to .25%, hiked the Twins’ skim (from $7m to $9m, way above current $1.1m).

The Gen x response to 6-7 ought to be 8,9,10,11,12 sung in the tune and rhythm of the pinball video from Sesame Street.

Appropriate to the season:

Watching this will clear your heart of whatever bad juju ails you.

Now, I don’t know @courtneymilan.com ‘s mother, but this strikes me as too light a sentence.

Fantastic pic of the northern lights over Propect Park

Really shows how much of the cities had to be torn down to build 94.

If you don't have air conditioning, go out and get a little window unit today and install it if you can. Or order one on Amazon. Make yourself one room where you and your pets can get respite.
