And we still have meatheads who protest in front of restaurants and hospitals, and are abusive to the people who work there, about their "right" to remain unvaccinated and still participate fully in society. Not many, I think we could find an uninhabited Arctic island for them all.

Yes, millions of dollars of assistance, mostly from the federal government, to unemployed people and to support small business. How will we pay for it? Figure it out later. The big issue now is that people don't want to work in food services for the ridiculously low wages that are paid there, so there are businesses that might close because they can't get staff - people who used to work there won't go back. Minimum wage is $14.35 now, it's pathetic. It was supposed to change to $15.00 3 years ago, but there was a change of government and the new people reneged.

Michigan's daily case numbers are terrifying. As of Monday, Michigan, population 10 million, had a 3 day rolling average of 2,832 new cases. Ontario, population 14 million, has a 7 day rolling average of 407. Restaurants and health clubs are not fully open yet, and as of last Friday the province has released a QR code that fully vaccinated people can download to their phones, to gain admittance to events. Masking indoors is the rule everywhere.

That's how I remember it. It wasn't a moment of weakness...he didn't know it was bullshit. He didn't find out until later that it the WMD "intel" was a complete fabrication.

Grand Rapids for sure.

I am watching the first season of The Norm Show on Youtube.

I'm not paying $40 million to a guy who plays 110 games.

Yes we heard so much about the "service economy", the economy of the future, and a friend used to ask how economic growth would occur when we were all cutting each others' hair.

Hey it's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I like her.

He's hiding under your bed.

Paul Goldschmidt? I could live with that.

Plus there is the whole issue of nobody else wanting him.

That is a very interesting article. I like the passing reference to Harrison visiting The Band in Woodstock in 1969, Clapton did that too.

Why can't you get immigrants from places like Norway?

I know that there is still a lot of time left but right now it looks like I won't be voting in your midterms. The border is slowly opening but I have mixed vax doses, one Pfizer and one Moderna, and it isn't clear whether every country is going to approve mixed doses. So my plans are on hold. Ordinarily I would vote in Buffalo, Erie, and Cleveland, and try to make it to Toledo.

Wherever Jim spends the rest of his days, I hope it will be in a nice area.

Riley Greene is not playing AFL. He suffered a concussion during his last game, diving for a ball.

It would 🙂

He was in an unfortunate situation for sure, caused 100% by his inability to control the clubhouse. Whatever happened afterwards doesn't change the fact that the players chose to ignore him. Anyway this is all old news, there isn't anything he can do to change it now.

Could be, but he shouldn't need his GM to back him up in order for him to control the clubhouse. It was a team full of stars though, and they knew they could ignore him.

100% true. From what we are told he opposed it, but was too weak to stop it.

Fiona Hill is sneaky hot. She has a book out I think, I saw her on Judy Woodruff's show a few nights ago.

That reminds me of Lary Sorensen, and how everyone was wondering how the heck he kept getting his license back.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Definitely. Why would you do that to your family?
