Even for those businesses in rural South Carolina who are still living in the past, I use the bank bill-paying service. I've not written a check in over 2 years.

At least it's not pumpkin spice.
Apples and cheddar cheese are one of my warm weather lunches.

I'm able, so I'm in downtown Oakland.

It's not real unless it's on TV (and too often, not even then).

Care to tell us what books? Always looking for suggestions.

ICE is the Secret State Police, translated to German and shortened to Gestapo.

NPR also has the story without a paywall.

They make up things, act on them, and then when contradictory documents appear....

Unfortunately, it could be used against California, if we get that far in the "back fire" redistricting here.

It might be a way of killing her off. Murders happen in prison. The person who did a lot of carpentry on my house, and then was accused of murder for a drunk driving killing, was murdered in Santa Rita relatively recently. He'd not even been convicted, just was being held for trial.

It's only for the visuals, they need truckloads, shiploads, not aircraft loads dropped from the sky.
And good distribution systems, not by people who'd shoot them for wanting food.

I wish there were a sequel.
I read it while crew on a research vessel just before pulling into the shipyard where HMB1 has been repurposed into a covered floating drydock.

She'd probably get one of her sil's people to call.
I have plenty of money, and I'd call (although I might not sit on hold for long).

Er, it may be trivial for you, but if you cool the inside of a building, you're increasing the heat outside. The hint is "heat pump".
It's more clear for heating your house, since a furnace turns a source of energy gas, oil, electricity, into new heat.
Power plants are heating their locations.
