Michigan Primary vote.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won the Michigan primaries on Tuesday, further solidifying the all-but-certain rematch between the two men.
Biden defeated Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, his one significant opponent left in the Democratic primary. But Democrats were also closely watching the results of the uncommitted vote, as Michigan has become the epicenter for dissatisfied members of Bidens coalition that propelled him to victory in the state and nationally in 2020. The number of uncommitted votes has already far surpassed the 10,000-vote margin by which Trump won Michigan in 2016, a goal set by organizers of this years protest effort.
As for Trump, he has now swept the first five states on the Republican primary calendar. His victory in Michigan over his last major primary challenger, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, comes after the former president defeated her by 20 percentage points in her home state of South Carolina on Saturday. The Trump campaign is looking to lock up the 1,215 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination sometime in mid-March.

About Secular Humanism
A comprehensive, nonreligious lifestance
Secular humanism is comprehensive, touching every aspect of life including issues of values, meaning, and identity. Thus it is broader than atheism, which concerns only the nonexistence of god or the supernatural. Important as that may be, theres a lot more to life
and secular humanism addresses it.
Secular humanism is nonreligious, espousing no belief in a realm or beings imagined to transcend ordinary experience.
Secular humanism is a lifestance, or what Council for Secular Humanism founder Paul Kurtz has termed a eupraxsophy: a body of principles suitable for orienting a complete human life. As a secular lifestance, secular humanism incorporates the Enlightenment principle of individualism, which celebrates emancipating the individual from traditional controls by family, church, and state, increasingly empowering each of us to set the terms of his or her own life.
A naturalistic philosophy
Secular humanism is philosophically naturalistic. It holds that nature (the world of everyday physical experience) is all there is, and that reliable knowledge is best obtained when we query nature using the scientific method. Naturalism asserts that supernatural entities like God do not exist, and warns us that knowledge gained without appeal to the natural world and without impartial review by multiple observers is unreliable.
Secular. Pertaining to the world or things not spiritual or sacred.
Humanism. Any system of thought or action concerned with the interests or ideals of people
the intellectual and cultural movement
characterized by an emphasis on human interests rather than
religion.

A cosmic outlook rooted in science
Secular humanism provides a cosmic outlooka world-view in the broadest sense, grounding our lives in the context of our universe and relying on methods demonstrated by science. Secular humanists see themselves as undesigned, unintended beings who arose through evolution, possessing unique attributes of self-awareness and moral agency.
A consequentialist ethical system
Secular humanists hold that ethics is consequential, to be judged by results. This is in contrast to so-called command ethics, in which right and wrong are defined in advance and attributed to divine authority. No god will save us, declared Humanist Manifesto II (1973), we must save ourselves. Secular humanists seek to develop and improve their ethical principles by examining the results they yield in the lives of real men and women.

Moved out of the mall at the start of the year.
As luck would have it a new smaller mall is opening up only 3 miles away. The last one was almost 70 miles each way.
Folks opening up this one are extra nice. Asked if they take consignments and they do and only take 25%. No longer have that monthly rent. Lady seems to like the same things I do. I just want to unload stuff.
Making life simple at this point.
Dang, thinking about charging up
the battery on my lawn tractor today and its still February.
