And Medicare drug costs are way up from last year, too, aren't they?

Southeastern Texas is civilized, gentlemen -- it rarely snows and doesn't last. If I never see another flake of snow, I won't care!

Where is NB to comment on this?

Costco, yes, for what's on sale that month. I get everything that I possibly can at Aldi as a first stop. The savings are incredible. I then fill in at other markets, typically on the basis of sales or coupons.

You don't include such information in this letter. Use the standard verbiage that's required, and nothing more. Nope. Explain it when asked. Dismiss this attorney, if you're getting yet another bad piece of advice.

Biden Rushed Into Surgery After Eating Sock WASHINGTON—After paramedics used a scalpel to open an airway and keep him from asphyxiating en route to the hospital, President Joe Biden was reportedly rushed into surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday to remove a sock that had become lodged in his throat after he tried to eat it. "While it's true President Biden partially ingested a striped dress sock earlier today, I want to assure everyone that this is a routine surgery, and the president is expected to be back home enjoying his favorite treats in just a few hours," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who confirmed the commander-in-chief had stolen the sock from a partially open drawer in the Executive Residence while Secret Service agents weren't looking and had [...] https://theonion.com/biden-rushed-into-surgery-after-eating-sock/

White Sox team executives had hoped that taking a brief break from their historic losing season and playing against the church softball team on their off day might boost the club's confidence, but the plan backfired when First Baptist mercilessly bludgeoned the team.

These US states have the worst-behaved drivers: See where your state ranks Researchers recently determined which U.S. states have the worst-behaved drivers, and the results may surprise you.

The behaviors included running a red light, eating while driving and texting behind the wheel. Other behaviors were changing lanes without signaling, cutting other drivers off and "honking/cursing/gesturing at another driver in anger."

This is indeed a cute little girl! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thailand's adorable pygmy hippo Moo Deng has the kind of face that launches a thousand memes CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) — Only a month after Thailand's adorable baby hippo Moo Deng was unveiled on Facebook, her fame became unstoppable. Fans unable to make the two-hour drive to Khao Kheow Open Zoo from the Thai capital Bangkok to see her in person can watch her video clips online, or simply scroll through social media to savor meme after meme. Zookeeper Atthapon Nundee has been posting cute moments of the animals in his care for about five years. He never imagined the zoo's newborn pygmy hippo would become an internet megastar within weeks. Cars started lining up outside the zoo well before it opened Thursday. Visitors traveled from near and far for a chance to see the pudgy, expressive 2-month-old in person at the zoo about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Bangkok. The pit where Moo Deng lives with her mom, Jona, was packed almost immediately, with people cooing and cheering every time the pink-cheeked baby animal made skittish movements.

Secret Service Knew of Trump Shooter 27 Minutes Before Shots Fired A U.S. Senate committee's report on Secret Service failures around the first Trump assassination attempt reveals that the Secret Service found out about Thomas Crooks' suspicious behavior almost half an hour before he shot the president and killed another man. The injuries of Donald Trump and multiple rally attendees and the death of Corey Comperatore could all have been prevented had the Secret Service taken the report of a "suspicious person with a rangefinder around the AGR building approximately 27 minutes before the shooting" seriously, the bipartisan report demonstrates (read it below). The incompetence, whether deliberate or accidental, of the Secret Service cost a life and changed American politics. Now there needs to be major accountability for those responsible for this and other egregious failures at the Pennsylvania rally. There are numerous noteworthy findings in the Senate Homeland Security Committee report, but I will list below a number that I found particularly disturbing and significant.
