I walked to work for 35 years. I knew I would always get some exercise every day I went to work. There was a downside of living close to work. When it snowed, I couldn’t say I can’t shovel out my shoes. I also couldn’t say my shoes wouldn’t start.

Republicans lie about their position on abortion
I’m not going to argue with these folks on Twitter. I won’t change their mind and they won’t change mind. The 15 week limit does have some public support. However,
- There are17 red states with abortion bans much stricter than 15 weeks. I don’t see how anyone can say that 15 weeks is the Republican position. See the chart linked to below
- There is majority support for opposing the overturning of Roe v. Wade. This contradicts the support for 15 week limits.
- The bottom line is that the Republican politicians are lying about their abortion positions because they know they are not popular.
States where abortion is legal, banned or under threat.

Junior Wells by Frederick Brown
This painting of musician Junior Wells by Frederick Brown. It’s at the Smithsonian American Art Museum but is currently not on display. They own five of his works. I’ve seen Stagger Lee and it’s great.
Here’s Brown’s website. He made many paintings of musicians.
The Junior Wells painting was used for an exhibit poster (see my copy below). That’s where I saw the painting.

Frederick Brown, Junior Wells, 1989, oil on linen, 36 x 30 in. (91.4 x 76.2 cm.), Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum purchase made possible by William Cost Johnson, George W. Story, Robert J. Oliver and Mrs. Barwig-Wagner, 1990.31
I downloaded the picture from the Smithsonian.
