Good morning, good people! Hope this OT finds you all in fine fettle!

Another week of finishing up my active cases, and am still pegging August to be my last month of full, multi-area legal practice.

Staying home, preparing the occasional will or deed is beginning to have enormous appeal.

I have said this is a very poor county, and yesterday, while grocery shopping, I overheard a young couple discussing a purchase. The man told his woman companion that the bottle she was holding cost $5.26, and to put it back on the shelf. They would come get it when he got his next paycheck. The economy is expected to tank, due to this Iran totally (un)necessary war, and we might all be thinking about the next paycheck or the next SS check sooner, rather than later. And those shelves might be empty.

We recently experienced a 2 hr storm with heavy rains, light hail, and 50 mph winds. Lots of power outages, but not here at home, and not at the office. The linemen have been diligently cutting trees and trimming limbs, doing the hard work for us to have power. Kudos!

I thought this video about glysophate might be of interest to you, especially if you consume rice, wheat, rye, barley, oats, and the like. I learned quite a lot about our modern farming. Not remotely like my family did it.

You might get this sense that someone is out to kill us. WEF? Maybe, according to their prophet, Harari.

Well, friends, there are educational, interesting, newsy, and pure propaganda content out there. Go through the weeds, see if you come up with anything on any topic you think is worth sharing with your fellow site members, as this is an open thread, after all!

Let 'er rip!
