Good morning! I hope you enjoyed the 21st night of September. Air quality studies indicate that since the Sterigenics plant in Cobb County reopened following the explicit request of the Governor, levels of ethylene oxide are at least as high – and in some cases higher – than they were prior to the County forcing
This past Tuesday’s Morning Reads included a link to an article covering a discussion between the Stone Mountain Action Coalition, a group of citizens that describes themselves as, “a movement dedicated to a more inclusive Stone Mountain Park centered on the principles of healing, transformation and progress,” and the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, the official
Good morning! If you are a quarterly tax filer, don’t forget that today’s the deadline to pay your estimate taxes for the June 1 – August 31 payment period – and there are no more pandemic extensions.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. How a Jack
Good morning! Today is the first day of (virtual) school for many children in my area; their district, Marietta City Schools, announced that at least 5 staffers tested positive for COVID-19. Earlier this summer, MCS Superintendent Grand Rivera was clear that unless we have widespread testing and contact tracing in Georgia, schools could not safely
Good morning! Here’s your periodic reminder that while you should wear a mask, you should not wear the kind of mask that has valves (unless you are alone, working in your dusty attic or cleaning a chicken house). They are so useless against preventing the spread of COVID-19 that even Disney has banned them. Anyway:
Good morning! Everything will be okay. A national perspective on Governor Kemp’s head-knocking with Mayor Bottoms, in which he wields a lawsuit, rather than a chainsaw. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo met with Mayor Van Johnson yesterday in Savannah. GHSA officially delayed the start of Georgia’s high school football season, in part because of a
