I know the feeling

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
If I believed in reincarnation (I don’t), I’d choose to come back as a dog.
No cares. No worries. No alarm clocks. Sleep whenever and wherever you want.
I relate to that, but towards my students rather than the alarm clock.
I stopped at Piggly Wiggly (for those who don't know that's a grocery store) on my way home from work today, because I realized I didn't really have anything to eat for supper tonight. I never shop there because they're a little more expensive, so I normally go to Walmart. But wow, it's so much nicer to go grocery shopping in an actual grocery store, rather than a big box store like Walmart. It might have been the time of day, but it was calm and relaxing. And I feel like I got quality food. For example, I got some mandarin oranges that look really good. At Walmart they don't look nearly as good. Yes, they were more expensive, but sometimes it's worth it.
In the Deep South , locals love shopping at the Pig. I enjoyed stopping in one of the locations in SC.
Where do you live that you still have a Piggly Wiggly? I thought you were near Madison? I grew up in Rockford and loved our local Piggly Wiggly, the deli stuff was always very good, especially egg and ham salad. I can remember doing green stamps there. (yes, I am that old)
Edit: I just looked. I can't believe how many are left in Wisconsin. There are only 3 left in Illinois, but we have several in the Nashville area and many in rural Tennessee.

Yikes. That cargo ship crashing into the FSK Bridge in Baltimore does not sound good.
“Developing mass casualty event.”
Prayers for all in the area

Have you seen the videos? The bridge crumpled like a deck of cards. I’m no engineer, but I would never have expected it to just topple like that.

Watching FOX news I learned one of the cars that fell into the water when the bridge collapsed , , a person was rescued in the water with no injuries !Yikes. That cargo ship crashing into the FSK Bridge in Baltimore does not sound good.

Did you see the video clip??Yikes. That cargo ship crashing into the FSK Bridge in Baltimore does not sound good.

edit: nevermind, I see you did. That was....shocking.
Media reports advising 20 people that were in cars on the bridge missing along with 7 construction workers working overnight on the bridge, ship lost electrical power and unable to steer ship thereby crashing into bridge. Info is fluid by the hour. One person rescued in water with no injuries and another person in trauma ward in critical.It was the lead story on the news here

Concerning, but it also depends upon what the issue was back then. May or may not be related to the present situation. Still, I'm sure the authorities are doing an extensive investigation.
It is a good thing the ship staff alerted MDOT that his ship lost propulsion prior to hitting the bridge . MDOT then alerted teams to close off the Key bridge so no more cars could drive over the bridge. Lives were saved because of the ship's action.

(Preliminary reports) indicate that the ship's Mayday call was helpful, in averting additional casualties. The comprehensive investigation of this disaster, will take a long time.
