Oversupply leads to lower prices, especially on a product that doesn't keep.

We know that when there is a large supply of oil/gas, the price comes down.
That is apparently what is going on in the dairy industry.
Remember when the government would prop up prices by buying large quantities of some commodities and storing them, and/or distributing them to schools and certain agencies? Surplus milk was made into cheese, which was then distributed to schools, etc.

I understand there is an oversupply of milk; also most milking of cows done by milking machines,

not humans of any race or nationality.

I just came from my local Kroger supermarket, where a gallon of milk cost 99 cents; 1/2 gallon was 69 cents. Other dairy products were lower than usual as well.

I get that, and it is a possibility, but I'm still wondering about the timing

of the supposed move to the DC environs.

What is the supposed timing for her move to the White House?

I know it's to be after their child finishes the school year.
AFAIK, schools in the NorthEast often finish the first or second week of June.

Next thing, we may hear that the child is going to camp or day camp or some such venue in NY or another location, and she'll have to stand by to transport him ,etc., etc.

Good news, and thanks for sharing it with us.

Keep on keeping on.

While I agree that as a substitute teacher you should not reflect partisanship to

your students, I don't know if I could go as far as to say "we have to respect him."
I can see saying "He is our President". Period.

Of course, a (substitute) teacher must watch tone and facial expression as well in those matters.
Best wishes to you. You are fulfilling an important role.

Problem with separate cemeteries is mixed-faith marriages led to separation in death

of spouses. Not good for those left behind.
Then there's the problem of non-practicing Catholics and former Catholics, who never really embraced another faith but can hardly be called "Catholic" at the time of death.
I personally believe charity should prevail and people should be buried where they and the family left behind wish and deem best for all concerned.

Obama's were busy with children's life on weekends.

That wouldn't necessarily include going camping every weekend.
A different source of life with children's social and school doings.
