Yup. Saw it everywhere mid afternoon.  Scary times ahead.

 

Stay away from hot spots.

I hope you guys in the US have a good stock of food and stuff, as we were advised last year.

Stay safe brothers and sisters. It’s particularly hairy times we’re heading in. 🌹

oh oh.. The clay and iron doesnt mix .

I don’t know. It’s a Catch-22. Who needs Twitter, when the media is eating this up. Especially Fox. Yes, crazy times!

I almost feel sorry for Joe Biden. He finally gets what he wanted , but it will be like walking into a maelstrom.

Without taking sides - I can't see him handling the job.

He (or his 'people') will probably find a reason (but not failure) to retire early.

There are fears about extremist groups.  One group said that what happened at the Capitol is only a taste of things to come.  What happened at the Capitol may only be the beginning.

I don't think I've mentioned it but I live in my state's capitol.

I live between the Michigan Militia, 30 mi north of me, and Michigan National Guard, 35 mi south of me. We just got a small freezer

Since you live in Michigan and its winter outside - you might be able to free up some space in the freezer for essentials, by placing non- essential items outside in "mother natures freezer".

LOL...over 40 years ago our refrigerator broke down during the winter. we put everything out side in the snow bank as a refrigerator. The good old days.

[CHecker]

We did too until we learned a valuable lesson about weather....it can't be counted on. A pineapple express came whooshing through overnight and we woke up to all our food scattered by the front door, warm as you please! Funny memory from so long ago.

Not really, the animals would get it and it really has not been very cold

[Sequoia]

Someone could steal from the outside especially during this time.

In the NW the animals will not still your food. Just do not put out chocolate. It will be gone.

Because all 50 states that make up the United States they all have what's called a Capital building.  Well, not all 50 states some have meetings in another buildings.  EX:  A capitol typically contains the meeting place for its state's legislature and offices for the state's governor, though this is not true for every state. The legislatures of Alabama, Nevada, and North Carolina meet in other nearby buildings, but their governor's offices remain in the capitol.

Capitol city.  JW2017 lives in the same city where the capitol for the state he lives in is located.  JW2017 does not live in the capitol building itself.

US states do not have capitols they have capitals.
 

I’m not being anal here; the distinction is important and failing to use the correct spelling is causing confusion to members here (capital with an A doesn’t mean the same thing as capitol with an O)

The difference between them would have been nice to have included:

 

Quote

Capital can refer to uppercase letters, accumulated wealth, or the city that serves as the seat of a country's or state's government. A capitol is a building in which the legislative body of government meets.

 

"Capitol" with an O refers only to buildings; that's its only use. ... You can remember the spelling by thinking that the big rotunda of the Capitol building is round like the letter O in the word

Thanks for the correction.

 

If your going to assume the role of grammar police for a website such as this, you are going to be very busy.
