Federal Reserve Chair Powell wants you to know that instead of avoiding or eliminating conflicts of interest, he's decided to manage them.
I bet that she is also thinking about people who are close to being evicted. It’s great that we have such kind and caring representatives that think of us so fondly.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she hopes stimulus negotiations will resume: "I have a prayer that I say, let's pray for those who are hungry, let's pray harder for those who will not feed them" #CNNSOTU https://t.co/qtzQ2h1av6 pic.twitter.com/C812DbmKUm

Let's conduct an experiment with our kids and teachers. Put them back in school and see if there is more spread of COVID-19. As a retired teacher, I suggest the teachers are the ones holding the bag. In my old district they are offering three options...regular class attendance, on-line distance learning, or a hybrid blend of the two. Guess who has to organize and prepare for all three approaches...not to mention cleaning the classroom between groups of students? Lots of talk about student safety and not a word about staff. And it's the coaches who have matriculated to the central office that are calling the shots with claims of following state guidelines. We'll know in a couple of months (before the election) how successful this strategy is. A Georgia student was suspended this week for posting a picture of crowded hallways and no mask wearing.

A Georgia student named Hannah who posted a shocking photo of her high school’s jam-packed hallways says she was called to the principal's office and suspended for five days. The school principal came on the PA system and warned students not to post negative content on social media, warning that “there will be consequences.”

Cake or death--that’s a pretty easy question. I mean, anyone can answer that.

The white Queen infamously told Alice "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
So here's a Jam from yestidday.
I don't know where smiley's OT 'Welcome to Saturday' essay is, hope he is OK.
I'm cooking and transplanting seedlings today so will just put this up.
On the menu today;
humus, (garbanzo beans have been soaking) flatbread, Caesar salad, (I know, does not go together but is what we have in the fridge), cabbage salad (to be made for tomorrow), and whatever else we can scare up...is a work in progress.
If anyone knows about smiley please chime in.
About to tuck in to tea, and then off for a bike ride... if it doesn't rain.
