I got a sinus infection after COVID in November - and then a nasal staph infection on top of the sinus infection. Go easy on your nasal passages, when I had the ‘vid I blew my nose so much that my Dr. said I might have damaged the tissue in my nose. Saline rinses might help with the constant feeling of congestion.

If you’re not tapped in to the internet all the time, easy enough to let it pass you by. I don’t have any TV services and am relatively mainstream-social media averse, and would probably have made it this far without finding out about the relief checks if I didn’t have the social circle I do.

Kudos for somehow avoiding the partisanship arguments and every other argument over these from folks in your community, I wish I were you!

And you never throw anything salvageable away. The scrap pile has treasures in it.

If you drive far enough there’s a random dollar general out in the middle of nowhere toward Milo/Lagrange. Not sure how to get there again. It spawned on a late-night drive while I was lost in the area.

The current flag is distinctly unique in the sense it is the only state flag (to my knowledge) that has a guy with bare feet/toes in it! Love it or hate it, that’s gotta give it some kudos points.

That’s great to know. Thanks for the input!

Spectrum is one of the worst ISP’s available, but for many is the only option. Their crappy customer service (during regular service, not weather-induced complaints) and their hidden fees tick a lot of people off. The fact that they don’t seem to have clear communication with the folks who actually need to know when their internet service will be restored, outside of corporate boilerplate language, is a very heavy straw on the camel’s back for a lot of us stuck with Spectrum until better options are more widespread/affordable.

This reminded me I saw an eagle being swarmed by crows over the penobscot up a bit north of Brewer, and the eagle kicked one of the crows in midair! It was funny to witness.

We have ~3 “____’s Variety” stores within about 10 miles of where I live, so they end up being “a quick run to the variety”

I was going to ask if there’s a running tally of this pole v. cars in this particular parking lot, this year alone. I feel like we’ve seen at least 5 this year, if not more.
