OT: Prayers for a local police chief

[Darrell KSR]

Just off I-22 (former Corridor-X, route between Birmingham and Memphis) is a little town called Brookside, Alabama. It's not close to me, relatively speaking, but it's north of Birmingham proper, although some might consider it in the extended Birmingham area, I guess. Same county.

Their police chief is in ICU with Covid-19. Can't breathe, speak or move without assistance. About to start plasma treatments.

Prayers for Chief Michael Jones. From what little I know, he has done a good job cleaning up an area that is not easy to clean up.

Jimmie Kimmel is the Brookside police chief?

God bless, hope he has a speedy recovery.

Brookside is an old mining community. A lot of Russian immigrants settled in the area. The area has come a long way in the last 15 years. I went up there to rent a canoe several years ago and wound up spending a lot of time exploring the town. The church holds a Russian Food Festival every year. I've never been to the festival but it is on my list. The ladies from St. Nicholas had a booth at a local music festival for a couple of years and the food was amazingly good. My best wishes to the entire community as they deal with the illness of their chief.

Prayers for him, and anybody afflicted with this illness

If you get there, you gotta try the sashlyk, pyrohgi and the kvass
