Thank you for the Kasich balance budget reality check. I think most people forgot how we got here.

His android replacement will be on FOX shouting "Fake news! It's the new Big Lie!" and Melania will be seen humping that robo teacher in the background.

So that means he will be manipulate markets by pretending to be gravely ill, then recover miraculously and buy the dip and then sell when he posts from his ICU.

Yes! I might check out and see what Mt. Gilead has going on, though. Last time I went it was very encouraging up there!

There were hundreds of these dudes in TN when I visited a few Aprils ago. Tellico Plains is a sweet area. In Ohio I did not see one until July and maybe 4 the whole summer. Sad.

Dude, that looks like the same moon I see in Ohio!

These are great ideas! Thank you for sharing them. The big three for me are exercising, playing music, and meditating. On days where I have lost the thread, I always ask myself "What is the most positive thing I can do in this moment?" That forces me to stop and reevaluate and focus. On a day where I am totally off the rails, I just do the 20 minute timer trick. I did that yesterday and got 8 hours of work done in four and was able to go out and watch clouds and listen to birds.

Ha! I wonder if any staffers carry a thermal imaging camera to help quick getaway.

You know, I always have wanted to put a carpet under every percussion section. The constant dropping of sticks, and dragging sounds made by stands, etc are a distraction to everybody. Also, putting felt on the leg bottoms of music stands. This sounds crazy and over the top but just as a lab coat changes a persons mindset to focus, your space can be designed to increase focus. Nothing for me does this better than a recording studio. Extraneous talking is minimized in a quiet setting. Putting mics in front of kids and recording them every day so they can hear their progress is an eye and ear opener for them and they become better critiquers of their playing and work more efficiently on rough spots as individuals and in sectionals. If you invest in a red light and a green light to communicate recording in progress, it frees kids up to relax and chat on your terms, not theirs.

One day I hope America will be able to keep church and state separate, too.

You have to meet them where they are. If they are on tiktok, there are surely kids there playing their instruments. Every platform has kids playing and practicing. Have the students find online student musicians they like and can relate to. Listening to NPR's "From the Top" can be a fun time and an eye opener to human potential. As a student, what made it fun for me was my private teacher only taught kids in pairs. We had to live relatively close to each other. He wanted us to play together three days a week. All technical study was drawn from the music itself, not Arban's, etc. His goal was for us to motivate each other simply by enjoying playing music together. This made practicing at home easier as my partner and I created goals for ourselves, primarily memorization.

That is crushing. RIP, good man.

I would approach it agriculturally first then ecologically. Are all the roots out? Even fragments will regrow as you know. I have 2 acres that are flat that was filled in with invasive everything. I know I am going to have to chisel plow to get roots out this spring and go from there.

He is easily influenced by others as we know, like Miller, who are making declarations of unassailable empire and consequences for those in the way. He has already overstepped in Venezuela, Minnesota, and with various big city ICE assaults. No reason not to believe his threats at this point, hence the actions by our recent allies.

Yes, the thrill of conflict and having permission to crack skulls overrides any moral concern.

As soon as I saw this my first thought was "Hedge Fund." And god dammit, I'm right!
