He's a huge bike-ped advocate and really down to earth and spends a lot of time in district. We have a big spring festival that has something like 8 parades and he usually walks in at least a couple of them. The district I live in now is an asshole republican who I don't think has actually been here in about ten years. Luckily she's not one of the seditious assholes. Which surprises but pleases me.

I haven't seen anything about a joint address to Congress by President Biden. Are we doing that or is it getting chucked due to COVID?
I've been really looking forward to the first SOTU/JA by a President who isn't Trump.

Pelosi sets "justice" as the focus for the 117th Congress. She notes that the members say the Pledge daily, "With liberty and justice *for all*"

If anyone sees a good thread breaking down the whole hour call, please share. I can't waste that much time on him.

If you live in his district you can likely request one. Or I can go to his DC office and pretend to be you and mail it to you.

That’s heart breaking. I have a friend who is planning his mom’s funeral (not covid related) and it’s just sad that they can’t do the big celebration of life event they would have. I’m just agape at how everything has gone down. Like we held it together for so long and now we are a mess. And people just don’t get it. Like all around me people are just acting like we are done with this. It’s depressing. mostly I keep my eyes on my own paper. But man, I’ve been hearing non stop parties in my block. Like, live bands and shit. I had a breakdown over this around Christmas Day. The level no fucks to give people have is so so sad. Why are we the way that we are? Our town was CRAZY this weekend. So. So. Many people from out of town not wearing masks and parking on highways and shooting their kids on sleds towards said highway. We skied one run yesterday and promptly left due to fuckery. Today wasn’t so bad, but driving home, there were at least 100 people parked on the side of the road next to the golf course playing in muddy snow. (The ski resorts have felt safe for the most part - masks required at all times, only household members on the lifts and we have a camp kitchen in the van for lunches and breaks).

loony I saw some pics of your general area over the last week. The ones I saw had a lot of cars on the side of the road or in accidents. It looked so busy. We have been noticing a lot of the noses out on the ski hill. I still have people trying to get on the lift with us and I always say no.
