Major Hurricane Beryl is churning through the Caribbean spinning 165mph. (Category 5 begins at 157mph. This thing is a beast!) It's the first time a Category 4 storm has formed in the month of June. Now it is also the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record. Former record was Emily on 17 July 2005.
I have long entertained a fantasy of a flying saucer swooping down and carrying away TFG in his car. Said flying saucer would have Michoacan license plates. When driver and guards regain consciousness they find themselves on top of a mesa in the southwest, or maybe in Area 51. Where TFG had been seated there is a framed and autographed portrait photo of Elvis. ----Alan
That’s because the company — in what it says is an effort to distance itself from “nonbusiness activities” — caved to a right-wing boycott campaign and announced it would abandon its programs intended to foster diversity, equity and inclusion (in favor of, presumably, homogeneity, inequality and exclusion?). In a news release Thursday, TSC said it will stop sponsoring events like “pride festivals and voting campaigns” (not voting for anyone, just voting) and “withdraw our carbon emission goals and focus on our land and water conservation efforts.” The company said further that it would be eliminating DEI roles and “retire (its) current DEI goals while still ensuring a respectful environment.” Predictably, conservatives are celebrating and liberals are now the ones calling for a boycott.
I have purchased three pairs of boots there because they had exactly what I wanted and the price was right. But it has always seemed a strange store, neither fish nor fowl. Neither hardware store, garden supply store, nor any other consistent sort of thing. And above all, no tractor supplies. -----Alan
