I took the weekend to think on this instead of replying on Friday when I first read Herzog's post. Are there "racists everywhere"? I guess that depends on how you define "a racists" If that definition is applied only to men in white hoods or marchers shouting "Jews will not replace us", then...

Good insight. I really comes down to a mentality of "what I see personally must be reality". If I am not black man facing daily racism or police harassment, then black men have nothing to complain about. If a member of my family hasn't died of COVID, it must be an exaggeration to change to...

I will accept that I misunderstood the reference was to becoming police officers specifically and not a general 'get a job' statement. I like the focus on listening to those whose experiences are so different from out own. That is truly what is needed as it is near impossible for us to fully...

Great thread. Always good to remind ourselves that there are a lot of great people in this community, even if we disagree in many of our political and other discussions.

Look more at term of loan than monthly payment. In the last couple of years we refinanced from a 30 to 20 and now 15 year loan. Payments have stayed basically flat each time, but home will be paid off 8 years earlier than if we had kept a 30. In our case that adds up to close to $250,000...

I basically agreed with your comments, until that last line. You went from a much needed and appreciated assessment of law enforcement (not that I fully agree, simply because the problems of police brutality and racial bias far precede current officers and low wages) to a stereotypical attack...

Refinanced last month. 15 year at 2.8%.

Here is the real difficulty, as I see it at least. We cannot justify violent protests that damage property or put people in danger. But we ignore or disparage peaceful protests (think Colin Kaepernick.) Even when violent protest happen, most of us quickly go back to 'normal' once they are over...

It certainly becomes much more real when it is someone you love instead of a number. Prayers for your family.

Interested, and didn't draw out any Utah hunts. May depend on Wyoming hunts and some things at work. But put me on the alternate list.

Might be interested in snowshoes

Funny thing about these "story" is if you look closely not all photos are even taken from the same angle with the different lenses.. A little distortion/deception on their part as well. We have a couple of times. Nice to be able to go out again!

My daughter has an 01 XJ she is thinking of selling.

I was going to ask if you had told him where you moved, but then I saw the photos so I guess you must have! Good to see them home, healthy and happy. My daughter is taking a 1 year intermission after having to leave the Philippine not yet half through her 18 months. Will do a year of college...

I personally find it sad that many people are so suspicious (in some cases I would dare say paranoid) that they reject the very idea of people in leadership (government, business, whatever) could actually be trying to do the right thing. Makes it very hard to work towards productive solutions...

Very well said!!! I always find it interesting that the same people who question anything from a 'mainstream' or 'government' source will grab onto any YouTube video that fits their belief without proof or start to quote government officials IF it goes against majority opinion (as we saw a few...

Clearl I struck a nerve. And for that I apologize. I appreciate everyone who is trying to help others in a positive way (I have been involved with COVID response projects in Utah, Mexico and Uganda.) But, if someone is deliberately manipulating data to get a desired outcome, that would be by...

I guess that is very subjective statement. What is exorbitant? 50,000? 100,000? 500,000? I suspect part of that definition depends on if you are related to any of them. But I do agree with you that a slow, careful reopening of the economy should begin. And that it is much more likely to...

Good thing we aren't having a severe influenza season, eh?

Seems that it is a lot easier for people to buy into a vast conspiracy than to recognize data reporting is slow and imprecise (would we expect anything else?) But keep in mind that one of the quickest ways to get in trouble with a medical licensing board is falsified medical records. A doctor...
