I remember when she was governor of Mississippi.

Yeah, in Venice.

I'm sure most if not all talk shows have a stable of guests who are somewhat local and can be called on should there be a last minute cancel or late arriving scheduled guest. So if they schedule Eddie Murphy but his plane is delayed or he has a family emergency or is just drunk, they can call up Teri Garr or Don Rickles or someone and keep the show going. I'm assuming this is why Jimmy Fallon seems to have a lot of SNL people on his show when they don't have a big movie coming out. For Colbert, it's Jon Stewart and John Oliver. Both in NYC and have weekly shows.

Maybe by railcar?

Yes. This eliminates the "double dipping" provisions enacted years ago. People with Civil Service Retirement System and similar pensions used to be able to collect SS benefits also. 35-40 years ago they offset the other pension amount against the SS earnings. This bill would reinstate the retiree receiving full benefits from both. I didn't have enough quarters in to qualify for SS, but many did, but weren't able to.

Our doc says two in a year and Medicare requires rehab. We don't have Medicare part B, so I don't know what that means. Hope to not find out.

Per Stevie Van Zandt on his underground garage the other day, Quincy produced Lesley Gore's huge hit, It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want Too.) This was a biggie in my teen years. A vastly talented man. When Quincy met Lesley – Sixties Music Secrets

We also use these two routes. The Hwy 80-181 has less cities and stop lights. Also, Pioneer Barbecue in Nixon is a good stop.

Just got back from early voting at Bastrop satellite office in Cedar Creek. Buncha other olds, mostly farmer types. Wife and I did not have to wait. Went right up to the iPad check in (two operating), got recorded, and went right to machines (10 or 12, all in operation.) Out in 5 or so minutes. Probably among the few blue votes at that station.

Like people who are going to vote for Trump, but are too embarrassed to say so.

Another vote for Zombie eyeball cookie. No laugh from wife, however.

Someone needs to tell Kevin Kieschneck.

Yeah. We would drive down for the day from Bastrop area when we needed to assess, clean, meet with FEMA, meet with the roofer or other workers, etc. The Sea Sands condo ripped all their sheet rock out and piled it on their parking lot till it could be hauled away. My wife picked up a cough from all the crap in the air. My sister in law's neighborhood over by Community Park was covered with all the vegetation from Charlie's Pasture and the sewer plant swamp. They had more smell problems than we did. It was probably six weeks to two months before we could stay the night.

Wife and I got Pfizer Covid, flu, and Prevnar 20 pneumonia vaccines last week. Both had sore muscle at injection site of Prevnar, me for a day, her a little longer. I plan on getting shingles vax in a couple of weeks. We had the older one years ago. She doesn't want the new one. She had a mild case of shingles on her arm right after the vax. Went away in a few weeks after prescribed ointment. I don't look forward to the side effects.
