  1. listener--I should have said WELCOME BACK! on the previous thread.

    Re colored eggs, I recall a fellow of my acquaintance who kept guinea hens; their eggs were smaller than those of chickens, but came in many different colors and patterns. They also fed themselves to a considerable extent--they were less dependent on being fed by humans than are chickens. But they would come back to the henhouse.

  2. Supreme Court Allows Release of Trump Tax Returns
    February 22, 2021 at 10:00 am EST By Taegan Goddard

    “The Supreme Court cleared the way for a New York prosecutor to obtain former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, dealing a massive loss to Trump who has fiercely fought to shield his financial papers from prosecutors,” CNN reports.

    “The documents will be subject to grand jury secrecy rules that restrict their public release.”

    “The ruling is a bitter loss for Trump, even if the tax records are shielded from public disclosure, after he consistently argued that the subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance was overbroad and issued in bad faith.”

    Washington Post: “After a four-month delay, the court denied Trump’s motion in a one-sentence order with no recorded dissents.”

  5. If I were only allowed to eat eggs, onions, potatoes and bread for the rest of my life I'd do just fine.

    1. Add a little real cheddar and I just might join you. I suppose I'd also miss salads...
