Our state (Georgia) is dead last in percentage of the population that has gotten at least their first Covid shot. The criteria that Kemp has set is far too narrow. Just look at the daily open shots available at Walmart & Walgreens, for example. It looks like this every day!

I’m so thankful for @RJScaringe and @rivian for building an amazing vehicle. Some person, that I was told at the scene was drunk, literally hit us head on today. The truck took a massive hit, and I’m sure its totaled, but we walked away shaken but not injured.

When a narcissist says he has a “super bad feeling” about something really big, like a country or it’s economy, we have to understand that what this individual actually means is he has a super bad feeling about his own situation. It’s not a forecast of the thing he mentioned.

The ramifications of the new Railroad deal won’t get discussed as much as the “supply chain crisis averted” part of the story. But these kinds of raises will have a large impact on the economy of places like Waycross GA. It will impact the entire community in positive ways.

One of the most important (&confusing) factors in the “trees are plentiful” discussion, is that most of these nice tall Georgia Pines don’t make for good lumber. You can get 2x4s from slash, loblolly, & long leaf pine (the 3 types we have in the South) but it’s not Fir quality.
