OT: Prayers for a local police chief
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.

Re: OT: Prayers for a local police chief
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 his recovery.
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
-Patriot and Senator. John McCain
