Charmion, the worst case of Groundhog Day, that SSDD stuff has been going on here for the last year and a half. It makes hunkering down at home with the news off all the more important for good mental health. Especially living in a border state where it is ground zero for a lot of this nonsense.

This weekend I found some discounted steaks at the grocery store and they're all Seal-a-Mealed into the freezer for a dozen or so meals. It's the only way I can afford to buy beef, but ironically, the "aged" beef is at its most tender, as a friend who used to work in a butcher shop once told me.
