Your bulbs should be OK. Your snow should melt quickly, and I hope you let Mother Nature take care of the rest of your stairs. <br /><br />I was so happy with the verdict but I am not sure this one case will change much. The racism is deep in the US and one policeman found guilty of a despicable act won't change that. However, hopefully it is a catalyst for justice.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-60107128766556072012021-04-22T20:42:38.228-04:002021-04-22T20:42:38.228-04:00I was happy to see that Chauvin was convicted.

Yes, the verdict was right, but we need to learn our lesson and do better as a nation by removing members of the police force who show signs of racism/intolerance/bullying. More economic opportunities, better housing and education are first steps to eliminating the disparity between whites and people of color. Pray that things will improve from here on out. I have to hope this is the bottom of the barrel and we will begin to move up from here.Tehachaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973382680508334105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-13087105647373782672021-04-21T21:40:44.294-04:002021-04-21T21:40:44.294-04:00We are still getting extra-hot weather in Perth (2...We are still getting extra-hot weather in Perth (28 or 29 degrees C.) this weekend.
