I miss Gibbs, especially when I'm feeding them. I automatically grab three dishes, … Continue reading LOSING GIBBS – Marilyn Armstrong

IS CORONAVIRUS THE EARTH ABIDES PLAGUE? from the “Earth Abides” Project
In his amazing predictive authoring, Stewart revived the earth by a plague. Is it here? The book is available in paperback from Amazon and as an audiobook. I have both versions. I've read it (repeatedly) and listened to it (at least another three times, once with Garry, who loved it).

Trump fails in desperate attempt to save his political skin – REBLOG – The Shinbone Star
This is a good summary of how we’ve gotten to where we are. How long will we stay here? Very good question. As one of the vulnerable ones, I would really like tests available. I’d like to know if Worcester County has many, few, or no cases.

“I will always put the well-being of America first.”
Those words must have been comforting for relatives of the 38 Americans who have already died from coronavirus and the nearly 1,200 others diagnosed with the disease over the past few weeks.
But the real problem with that bogus and pandering statement is that it came after more than a month of Trump downplaying the…
