@jacquebland Not quite sitting on a park bench, but lying in bed on a lazy morning during college freshman year Christmas break, listening to Locomotive Breath on headphones. Wow.

@jacquebland I do like this one. My third favorite after Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietist Moments

@karanagogo My wife has taken fioricet, which is partially effective. This Friday she gets a Vyepti infusion.

@stevenadamswv That makes sense. And would have been the best way to do it.

[Steven Allen Adams @stevenadamswv]

@dbeardtdp It’s apparent the House had a bill mostly ready to go and Gov amended his call in such a vague way so really they could pass whatever bill they wanted to. There is nothing against a lawmaker introducing their own bill per se as long as it aligns with the Govs call.

[David Beard @dbeardtdp]

@stevenadamswv I agree, they could have. I'm guessing gov chose to punt -- and they've had issues with delegate sponsored bills before in special session, but that's parliamentary stuff beyond my paygrade too.

House passes Senate district bill, SB 3034, 72-19. Evan Hansen objects to Mon County split: 'If there ever was a single county in West Viringinia that should be provided its own senatorial district, Mon County is that county.' Ideal district has 105,513 people, Mon has 105,822

House re-passes HB 335, vax emeption bill, with Senate amendments' Delegate Hansen cautions people to pause before comparing health policies to inhumane Nazi studies: 'To me these aren't particularly comparable to vaccine mandates intended to keep people safe and healthy'

For any member of the Capitol press corps, I left a can of Monster energy punch in the press room fridge -- free to a good home.
