Under my State's implementation of the ACA, I have no choice but to shop online, and, due to redlining of my county, there is only a single selection of vendor. Yay.

I live on a small island in the Pacific.

Luckily my house is at 1200 feet of elevation.

Unluckily, our village is at about 10.

I'm shocked, shocked to find Chile has problems.... I thought all of those had....disappeared.

You might enjoy Uruguay though.

Mayor Pete doesn't seem too terrible.

I've attended a couple of the verification sessions the County does here before each election count, it's pretty interesting, and it's nice that they invite citizen oversight.

Navy Secretary out, the Commander In Chief boldly seizing direct hands-on control of our military's discipline system, etc. etc.?

Speaking as an until-recently Republican, and a delegate to conventions, this whole business is appalling.

I'm not sure the GOP will be able to recover.

Windjammers may well come back into style for high-price/low-volume cargo, like spices and iPhones :-)

I don't quite understand today's economy, where I can Amazon Prime a $.25 electronics...

I love herbs and spices.

Looking at my extensive collection, and looking at the volume, and my reorder times, and my supply line, I think if I compromised and ate locally-sourced food for most...
