NAACP Issues Travel Advisory for Missouri

This story confirms some of my worst fears of this Republican lead Missouri state House and Senate combined WITH a Republican Governor to sign all their f'd up crap into law.

This is one of the many reasons I got the HELL out of that state!

I am dumbfounded and not surprised all at the same time! Good grief! The first time in history! Not even during the civil rights years did this happen!

Wtf are we coming to? Wtf?

Jar salads

I like this lunch idea and have been taking salad at least three times a week.
I got an inexpensive plastic shaker container with fork and dressing container that nestle with. It has been so easy!
Prepare the night before and combine leftovers from your evening meal if possible.

What great ideas have you tried?
I would love to hear about fruit fusions I haven't tried etc.
I love grains like quinoa mixed in too!

Seattle suggestions please (motorcycle related)

I like motorcycles and people who ride them and would like to hang out sometimes at a bar/lounge where bikers gather. I am new to the area and I would have to visit a lot of places to find somewhere like that to hang out. So far no go. I tried the internet too and would rather have recommendations. 🙃

If you know of a spot preferably northern King or Snohomish area that you would recommend please do so!

I like to go on poker runs that allow vehicles too (I don't own a bike) and where bikers hang out is always a good place to find info about runs and rallys.
Thanks!

Found my GOLD panning river! Woohoo

I'm strictly recreational actually but avid!
The Skykomish outside Gold Bar WA.
I have panned in MT - Libby area.
Gems too! Rockhound. Yep.

Spent the afternoon there, scouting. Talked with locals on the river. Contemplated, took pics!
Stopped in at the Steak & Ale pub in Gold Bar.
Very Good. Damn hot. Burger. Recommend!
They even have a kennel for your dog. Didn't take mine as it got to mid eighties and I went in the afternoon. Met some cool locals at the bar! Good times. Going back this weekend fer sure!

The "other" CCR...

Cross Canadian Ragweed.

While this rockabilly group is not the real deal CCR they "were" pretty damn good in my opinion.
Pretty sure Cody Canada is solo now.
Hope you enjoy this post-fourth tribute to FREEDOM!

**Freedom is NOT Free**.



Their Purple album is ALL good.
Garage has some great ones too.
Soul Gravy - Awesome

#russiaisnotourally

Here is some possibly good news found on Politico website re: Russian sanctions.
Illinois Republican House member Kinzinger is going to raise holy hell to pass the Senate sanctions bill. (In the House)
Wtf? Right? He remembers that his party used to stand AGAINST Russia!

I don't use twitter but will follow this hashtag.
