Extended family - issues from smoking 30+ years. Pretty sure she was smoking while pregnant. Her twins have all kinds of health issues (they were premature_ The positive is that none of them seem interested in venturing out. Family has been helping out quite a bit and twins school will be fully online for Fall.

Where I'm at there are two school school districts. Usually they aren't that far apart in terms of policy. My daughte'rs school had voted to do blended. 1/2 students would attend 2 days a week and the other would attend two other days. Gaps would be online. A couple of days ago they reversed course and are planning on operating as full time in school or full time online. One of the big concerns was 'childcare' for many parents. I've got all kinds of feelings about this. We have elected online for my daughter. The other school district votes on Friday and their superintendent is recommending blended. The wife and I both work at the University. The plan their is blended (small classes in medium classrooms, medium in large, and large are online). They are trying to make sure everyone has the opportunity to have a face-to-face class. Masks were not going to be required....but not they are. Testing for students was not required, but it sounds like that may happen (Not super clear when that is happening). The school is mandating that everyone have plan to return to work on campus. Many have returned w/ some safety measures implemented. I'm unsure how this is going to play out for our family at this point.

I've got a 11 year old daughter that is starting school in a few weeks. I am just curious what the the options/plans are in everyone's neck of the woods.

My favorite encounter was at Costco a few days ago. Lady WITH a Trump 2020 mask (hanging off one ear) was bitching about her rights being supressed, blah, blah....

I wouldn't assert that anyone has a handle on this thing at all. There are a number of reasons why I feel like we should be wearing masks at this time. Yet I also know people personally that have heath conditions that prevent them from wearing them. One of them is recovering from Covid. After a month and a half he still can't wear a mask because it limits his oxygen. He stays home just in case. I'm not sure why you feel as if 'some' of us should be ashamed. (I don't give a shit why). Even Fox reported that he "died Thursday after being hospitalized for coronavirus." I posted the initial article because it was a high profile supporter of the president who appears to have contracted it at a rally where no one was taking precautions. Seems like a big deal. I didn't make light of the situation at all and I wasn't being an asshole when I posted it. I don't feel ashamed about posting the link to the article and I won't let your opinion make me feel shame for doing it. If you don't like the topics in here the political forum, then maybe you shouldn't hang out in here.

Kenny says that it is Archie.

of course they were popular. Because they are fucking awesome!

Speaking of Archie. (Pretty sure that is all I’ve got)

I don’t see a date on it. I wish I knew what year I was given it. 45 would have been Archie until 83? Don’t know who would have been with Kenny after that. Not sure who 8X is either

Not the best photo, but I was trying to cut down on reflection (printed on a mirror) I was going through some of my boxes and came across this. I remember it proudly hanging on my wall.
