He was PCR negative today. It’s either gone or the 12/26 test was a false positive. The former is more likely, the home test he used has a 98+% specificity, 86%. IOW, false positives are much less common than false negatives, by 7-10x.

Likelihood of 12/26 being a false positive is remote. He had Omicron. And cleared it really fast.

Yeah that seems the most likely explanation

Pretty natural response.

Unclear at best. The article states it’s not a response to any specific incidents, rather to events taking place across the country. Are they really at risk? Or is the equivalent of Muncie, Indiana applying for Federal anti-terrorist funding in 2002?

You know, that's so esoteric it makes no sense.

@kluurs said in World's Greatest Letter Carrier...:

Her name was Kathy. Kathy looked to be in her early 50s. She had thick blonde hair in a pony tail. She looked fit and jogged/ran between houses - taking stairs at a fast pace. She did this every day. While I might have run 60 miles in a week, I don't know that I was as in good a shape as Kathy. And then, she retired. I wish I knew what her plans were.

We got a new letter carrier this year. She was an older woman. We got a note from her that she's retiring this year. We must have a desired route if people with the most seniority are requesting it. Our latest carrier didn't sprint from house to house. She was slower. Sometimes mail showed up at 8:00 pm - but she got things to the right place. Today's her last day.

Routes are bid on by FT carriers, no part-timers are allowed to bid. In your case, it will be a city carrier, rural carriers cannot apply. And if you lived on the rural route, the reverse is true. The Postmaster will entertain bids during a certain time frame, then will review all bids and award the route. Seniority is usually the deciding factor. Any promotions due to the router are only given after the route is awarded.

I just thought it was interesting that a suit was filed...

We're doing pizza tonight, because pizza.

Would be a very polite show.

The reason 90% of those cases are plead, is because the vast, vast majority of those people charged are guilty. But...

That's why I've advocated a robust public defender's office. Everybody is entitled to their day in court and to a jury trial.

They lost to Cincinnati twice, Pittsburgh once, and Cleveland once. You can’t win the division with a 1-5 (after Pittsburgh beats them in the final game) record in that division…

The flattening is off by roughly 90 degrees.

Thanks for that info. All we ever hear about is the oil sands.

How about our local station - WLW (Women who Love Women)

I wonder how that will fare in this world of remote violence.

Right

Regarding the last question as long as the payment was made in 2021 you’re good.

Cats are extremely sensitive to these things. I know I spoke of when MFR had a fever for a few days Luna and Stella laid right with her for hours, which they never do.
