Older pacemakers could be adversely impacted if people who had them were anywhere near an average microwave oven in operation - we had those signs up around the office kitchenette less than 15 years ago.

I am in upper brackets, too - I’m happy to pay more if someone who is struggling doesn’t have to.

Unfortunately, no clouds also means no rain - it’s a dustbowl here in Maryland!

Exactly. I expect to see one of these types of reports for almost every state in the next week or two.

I’ve heard enough to know who my choice will be. If you aren’t decided yet, you haven’t been paying attention. Get over this “not enough for voters” bullshit.

Hello my fellow Stick Enthusiasts!

Now that you have found your stick (or rather, your stick found YOU), you may be asking yourself, “What do I do with this sweet stick?”

ANSWER: Keep it forever.

Here is my sweet piece of life lumber. Probably mulberry, found after an overgrown field was mowed down just days prior. I scraped off the outer layer of bark, revealing that nice inner brown layer. Shallow cuts through the brown inner back provide this masterpiece with its characteristic look. Tapering downward from it’s perfect hand hold just under it’s bulb, it feels perfect to me, even after 30 years together. A thin layer of spar urethane every 10 years will keep this beauty with me until the very end. And when that time comes, it will go in the box with me.

STICK STATS: 59.5” long, 1.75” bulb, .75” at tip. Strong, with just the right amount of flex and balance. Weight: perfect.
