My Dad's best friend (and sometime business associate) smoked a pipe, and every time we would visit he would fill his pipe and give me a big wad of Big League Chew. I loved it.

Wait for the Lord doesn't mean wait for the Lord to fix it.

It means be still. Take a breath. Watch for things you wouldn't normally notice. Find your hope.

It means sharpen your perceptions of your own inner life and allow the Spirit to transform you day by day.

In this moment of national crisis, @TulsiGabbard meets it and works to unite the party, endorsing Joe Biden. I’ve been tough on some of her past positions but grateful for her leadership here.

During WWII my granny worked making airplane parts. Why don't we hire people to start mass producing the heck out of this stuff? Give incentive if need be. We give tax breaks and incentives for all sorts of reasons, why not an emergency?

@BeckyIB @washingtonpost OK I don't like him either but I'm not sure we can blame him for the shortage ha ha. I think you may be pulling a "thanks Obama" though so carry on.

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

@2273kathy @GorillaGrenard @BeckyIB @washingtonpost True. I used to not identify with either party and voted for my favorite in whatever primary he or she was in. I have voted for McCain one year and voted Bill Bradley another year. I would have liked either for president.

[Cindy S @simpsontn]

@BeckyIB @washingtonpost I actually overheard several people vote dem, even seniors who typically vote red.
