So, all of you people with great governors and/or mayors who have a

brain and are desperately working for us all to try to contain this pandemic, consider yourself lucky, and I am so jealous!

Jeb Bush
Charlie Crist
Rick Scott
Ron DeSantis

Quite a crew, wouldn't you say?

Florida's voters have been electing Republican jackasses for governor for 20 years. I guess that's what they want.

The closest rural town near me (pop. 900 - where I get my mail and know everyone) - has the best mayor ever. He is keeping everyone informed every other day on Facebook and Zoom. He gives out his personal cell phone for anyone who needs food, a mask, sanitizer, etc. We have local people sewing masks for the mayor to give out. He will actually go to your house and leave these items on your porch. Today, it's snowing here and he is out delivering some donated local apple cider vinegar. He is so loved in this town.
