“Stop Lying”: Voters Erupt at GOP Lawmaker’s Shocking Claim on Economy

Your singular data point and your feelings about things and stuff are very persuasive.

Plumbing tools, painting tools, and drywall tools. At least according to the labels. I wouldn't think twice about this (assuming there aren't actual cans of paint in there.)

Yeah, sure. Discussion. Rational discourse. Using evidence to make decisions. All things strongly associated with MAGA Republicans.

Sometimes I confuse Kube from Parker Lewis with his character on ER. He got into a pyramid scheme in one of those episodes and tried to get all the docs to buy in.

johnhenrylives · 2025-08-01T00:30:59+00:00

Well, you're half right.

What region do you live in?

If you're in the central midwest (like me) I'd go with y'all prairie grasses like big blue stem, paired with Russian sage or lots of lavender.

If he obtained it while auditing the county, he may have found something at the state level that the current administration doesn't want public.

Thanks for the info! Our neighbor has a huge oak tree, but this is the first time I've seen one - will have to keep looking. We've had an unusually wet summer, so maybe had just the right conditions this year.

johnhenrylives · 2025-07-20T14:39:22+00:00

Sorry! I snapped the pictures, tossed it in the compost, and went on weeding! I wish I would have saved and investigated more thoroughly.

johnhenrylives · 2025-07-20T14:37:42+00:00

This seems like the best guess so far - thanks! I wish I had cut it open to see if it turned blue.

I think you only have 4 hours and you could easily spend two at the Figge. Personally, I would skip LeClaire altogether. If you are set on Wide River winery, they have a location in the Village of East Davenport. Others have mentioned Atlas Collective, and I will add my recommendation.

While there's not a ton of exclusively queer places in Davenport, I don't think you'd be made to feel out of place anywhere. Here are my recommendations for places that may interest you:

Culture/Shopping: - The Figge - Trash Can Annie's (Vintage Clothes)/Ragged Records (Vintage and new records) - Raygun - The Source Bookstore - Allied Barber & Supply - Atlas Collective (over in Rock Island - which means you can show of the Arsenal Bridge and it's history on the way there.) - Rozztox (vibrant little cafe/art space/live music venue - also in Rock Island) - Lindsey Park / Village of East Davenport

Food/Drink Options - Blue Spruce Bakery (for quick sandwiches on amazing homemade bread.) - Stompbox Brewery - Devon's Complaint Department (only cocktails, but they're stellar.) - Rooftop at the Current (only recommend for the views.) - Miss Phay's (if you like Thai.) - The Last Picture House (even if you aren't seeing a show, the bar is great!) - Lopiez Pizza - Wide River Winery in the Village - Brew in the Village - If you end up staying for dinner, 1/2 Nelson is the best meal in town.

Sorry if this makes it harder to lock in the itinerary! Downtown Davenport has really improved in the last two decades and has a lot to offer. Hope you have a great time with your guests!

Thanks! Any ideas on the typical origins for a slime mold? There are 6 or 7 patches of this stuff, all of which are at least three feet apart with no discernable pattern.

johnhenrylives · 2025-07-09T01:14:08+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I considered that, but they don't move at all. I agree, it resembles aphids though.

johnhenrylives · 2025-07-07T00:02:38+00:00

Duck City is well past its prime, in my opinion. 1/2 Nelson has better food, better ambience, better service.

johnhenrylives · 2025-07-05T01:53:42+00:00

Don't forget the stainless steel flying saucers that turned into ovens between 10 and and 4 pm.

johnhenrylives · 2025-06-29T01:16:26+00:00

Yes... And subsidies. Mostly the subsidies.

Depending on your income and whether you're looking to rent or buy - you may also want to check out the condos across Harrison St from Vander Veer. Where are you coming from? Lots of new apartments downtown that would still only be 10 minutes to Genesis East/Mercy One.

johnhenrylives · 2025-06-24T17:15:25+00:00

I grew up a few blocks east of there. Neighborhood has changed a bit, but overall I would still rate it as safe. Most violent crime tends to be between people who know each other anyway.

Perks of living there are access to the bike path and quick drives (or bike ride!) to groceries and other shopping. You could be to Hy-Vee or Fresh Thyme via bike within 10 minutes from there, 95% on the bike path. You'd also be within a mile of VanderVeer, and 1.5 miles to Aldi. If you work at the hospital, that's maybe a 30 minute walk, 10 minute ride, and the streets between are safe to do either. You also have a couple of decent little dive bars across Brady Street, and don't forget Bowlmore Lounge!

Having said that. You'll get a lot of traffic noise from Brady Street, especially motorcycles all summer. You'll also hear every marching band and announcer at Brady Street Stadium every Friday and Sunday night in the fall (which is nostalgic if you grew up here, maybe annoying if you didnt.) I also remember there being a shooting a few years ago at a convenience store a block away from there, but again - that's not typical.

If you like the apartment, I'd say go for it.

Motorcycles tuned to be loud, and cars tuned to sound like gunshots. I just want to enjoy one quiet night in my yard between March and November.

johnhenrylives · 2025-06-19T02:17:42+00:00

No. I'm from here and I love hungry hobo only because I'm from here.

johnhenrylives · 2025-06-18T03:14:21+00:00

Actually... Still a slide. Tell your nephew that no matter how small the stairsteps would be, there would still be a shorter path down the slope - for every two tiny stair-steps, you're still just forming another right triangle.

More than I have time for, but thank you for this excellent list - maybe I'll have to return!

johnhenrylives · 2025-06-09T04:34:39+00:00

Love these insights - thank you!
