As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Scientists say that NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered rocks that are being called the clearest sign of ancient life on that planet.
Researchers say the stones will require further analysis, ideally in laboratories back here on Earth, before they can reach any firm conclusions.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”
