The banking/lending industry has a major meltdown about every 20 years. With the rise of appraisal waivers and automated valuation models, they are entering risky territory, especially after super low and then normal interest rates. Those regs are there for a reason.

thanks for that info. Looks like it was a dumb move. I had just about finished the book section when I got fed up with ARCOM politics. Especially during and after my pregnancy/delivery.

Pretty clear to me that Hegseth slept and drank his was through CAS3. I have one word for mobilizing Guard/Reserve units: chaos. Hopefully, it's better since DS/DS, but I doubt it. I had to *get* 2 units to move. Trans unit ok. Med unit did not want to cooperate at all.

Pretty sure Kegsbreath slept/drank his way through CAS3.

My late husband and I used to banter back and forth on FB while sitting on the couch together. I miss that.

Close-up of two ostriches (neck & head).  The one on the left has its head higher with eyes open.  The one on the right has its head down a bit lower with eyes closed.  Apparently, the one on the left told a bad joke.

Your photos almost make me homesick for Vermont. We built a house high on a hill overlooking the CT river (and the Lebanon airport - the planes looked like shiny insects). And here I am in Ohio happy to see our 1' of snow melting away.

The only people who *want* to go to war are psychopaths and insatiable rich people. I spent 3 years on a base with a primo USSR target (fuel distribution assets). Those who actively expressed any Rambo tendencies spent a lot of time being detailed out.

I suspect the Sascha Riley interviews have ratcheted up the level of panic. They are graphic and repulsive to any decent human being. The fact that the WH has (to my knowledge) been silent thus far tells me that they don't want to open the Pandora's Box of lawsuit discovery.

3. Sascha Riley. If half of what he says is true, tRump could get the death penalty. Epstein wasn't lying when he said tRump was evil

Edgewater Pier on Lake Erie with a bit of ice. The seiche last week probably prevented more ice build up because the water got blown to the east end of the lake. #photography #๐Ÿ“ท #EastCoastKin #CLE #Ohio #LakeErie
