    1. They sure are. It's a labour of love...especially when you know that my dear friend has diabetes and eats Whole Thirty style ongoingly...which means that she doesn't eat sugar or grains, so cannot even sample these.

    2. They say the district will probably become a little better balanced by redistricting. If I am not mistaken, the office must be filled by election, and the time required to set up a special election would make it nearly pointless. So in the meantime we will have no nominal representative in Congress, which will be an improvement. Maybe the California Democratic Party will support the winner of the primary election--that would be a welcome change.

In fact, they said, most of their infected patients were admitted for other reasons and have no Covid symptoms.”

    1. It would be a relief if this waters down Covid generally and the stupid pandemic settles down at last.

      I sure do not want to be separated from my family any more...!
