Measles have caused the death of two children and possibly one adult. The death of child is the cruelest loss a person can experience, but the measles outbreak probably isn’t even in the top 10 problems we are facing as a country.

Trying to figure out if I need a measle booster before I travel. Checked out the CDC site to see the status of the measle epidemic. Im struggling to see how we only have 7 outbreaks when state data would indicate at least 19. Maybe cases in counties are unrelated?

Can someone more knowledgeable about economics calculate how much workers will be paid (in today’s dollars) once we rebuild all of these manufacturing plants in the United States and force out all of the non-white laborers? Will 40 hours be enough to buy the basic needs? Or will it be 60 or 80?

Just leaving this here to see the changes over the next few months.

These two comments that were made by two of my friends have stuck in my head for a rather long time.

Cleaning and mindless sewing to rest my thinking for a few hours today. As I reflect, I see color, scraps saved from “trash,” memories of many thing made and gifted, and change. I remember when I really disliked scrap quilts and wondered why I kept all of these small pieces of fabrics.

By not speaking up, a large group of people who care about unborn children are endorsing the death of babies when they remained silent about the elimination of USAID.

My credit union, which already gives money to organizations I would not elect to support, just sent me an offer for TurboTax.

Maybe they are glad that the Musk techies took away my IRS Free File. Hope my emergency fund money is safe in my local CU since Musk already has my account numbers.

February 1 - Black History Month

Time to start this book.

Some of my teacher friends can no longer talk about Black History Month.

Reading the Preface and Chapter 1 for next week in case you want to read along.

One of those books I picked up somewhere and never read. Maybe it’s time.
