Funny. I admit to the ice cream increase, but the truth is I've been spending more time grooming since my hair has grown long and I have to braid it each morning. I even bought a big batch of hair bows on barrettes so that I can slip in one by the elastic each morning that matches my outfit. And I had to find a new source for our fave shampoo and conditioner, but that has worked out.
OHIO: As of Thursday afternoon, there have been at least 80,186 confirmed or probable cases in the state, 3,256 deaths, and 9,968 hospitalizations, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
“In each state’s head-to-head matchup, the president underperforms both his 2016 vote share and his current job approval rating — and Biden’s edge is larger than the survey’s margin of sampling error.”

Stephen Miller’s Grandmother Died from Virus July 23, 2020 By Taegan Goddard White House adviser Stephen Miller’s grandmother dies from the coronavirus and his uncle tells Mother Jones that the Trump administration is partly to blame for her death.

Democrats Now Favored to Take Back the Senate July 23, 2020 By Taegan Goddard The Cook Political Report forecasts a net gain of five to seven U.S. Senate seats for Democrats, which would give the party the Senate majority. “Ultimately, every day that Trump stubbornly refuses to change course is another day that it becomes increasingly likely he may not only tank his own re-election bid but could be on a kamikaze mission to take the Republican-held Senate down with him. At this point, a net gain of five to seven seats for Democrats looks far more probable than the one to three seat gain that would leave them shy of a majority.” I’m thinking of a cartoon showing him as the mad engineer driving the GOP train onto the destroyed trestle.
