I hope Menards stays open. They should since they sell groceries and stuff for emergency home repairs. I'm in the middle of a slow going cabinet renovation project along with door and drywall replacement.

In Dirty Dodge, a Menards closing would be tough. They're about the only ones with an extensive offering of plumbing and electrical materials - can you imagine a broken water line, or leaky toilet, or bad breakers, etc? I'd think they have to be considered essential, as much as it pains me to say it.

So I can't get an appt at my optometrist because they closed due to the virus but my dog can get right in at the vet?

The pages are starting to fall out of my 47 year old Good Housekeeping Cookbook
You're using the wrong brand. (just ignore the Betty Crocker one.)
BTW, I have done some cookbook collecting, but think it's time to whittle it down some.

I used to have a Betty Crocker cookbook. Might still have it buried in a box in the basement

I looked up Euchre and tried playing online. It would take a while to understand it. I think one player takes the trick yet another one does.

Stay calm and hold on to your Right Bower!

Edit: I grew up in Northeast Iowa, the descendant (on Mom's side) of Norwegian immigrants (and Vikings too, I spose). I know Euchre! I'm not saying it originated in Norway, but we learned Euchre as kids from Grandma and Grandpa Johnson (Gertrude and Alvie).

Not exactly sure.
Wife has been checking out new neighbors Facebook. They haven’t moved in yet. This lady is gossip central and sounds half crazed.

Any time I've tried playing, I can never follow along with the first rules, and then all of the sub-rules just get more confusing. Then everyone seems to have a different name for each subset of sub rules.

On the drive to work I see what appears to be a dryer in the ditch. Been there a bit. How do you lose a dryer while driving?
