BTW, you can buy the cheddar bay biscuit mix to bake at home, I have a box or two I bought at my local grocery store (Meijer). Not sure it's quite as good as what you get from the restaurant, but it's at least passable (unlike the Canadian cheezy biscuits).

My 76-year-old mother looks far healthier than Turnip, and she's on her fourth bout with cancer (good news today, though: her scans showed no progression, so they are continuing to monitor without any treatment).

Sounds like I'm going to have a very good understanding of what happened when they finally figure it out. Aside from the fact that it is on a ship, this is my area of expertise.

It was on the ground for ten minutes and damaged quite a few homes and buildings in three different municipalities, all in my usual stomping grounds.

Diamond isn't a very good construction material, though. It may be hard, but it is also brittle. It's like building with glass that can't be easily cut or scratched.

My brother-in-law has been swatted at least twice since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately the police were on top of things, and were very apologetic just for knocking on the door and disturbing him.

That was the conclusion that the woman on the chat reached, but there wasn't (in the article) any confirmation from the police. There are other possibilities, such as swatting.

My friends/acquaintances from Portage have all checked in. Minimal damage, but some are without power. A lot of tornadoes in Michigan the last year, several times had cloud rotation that passed directly over my house, but either didn't touch down or touched down a few miles downwind.
