Just thought this might be interesting to you. What do you think. I don’t live in MO but some family does.

And knowing Covid’s, it’ll find a way!

Never tried this one before. It’s like Majong but putting together 5 letter words.

Text excerpt:

The superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Friday, according to the school district.

ICE said Ian Roberts was in the country illegally from Guyana and was working as a superintendent despite having "a final order of removal and no work authorization."

When officers conducting a "targeted enforcement operation" tried to approach Roberts in his car on Friday, the superintendent sped away, and the officers later found his car abandoned, ICE said.

Police helped find Roberts, and when he was taken into custody, the superintendent was in possession of a loaded handgun, a fixed-blade hunting knife and $3,000 in cash, ICE said.

Roberts joined the Des Moines district in July 2023 and "held educational leadership positions in districts across the U.S. for 20 years," school board chair Jackie Norris said at a news conference Friday.

"There is new information that has been made public that we did not know, and have not been able to verify as to whether that information is accurate," she said.

"There is much we do not know," she said. "However, what we do know is that Dr. Roberts has been an integral part of our school community since he joined over two years ago. During his time with our district, he has shown up in ways big and small, and has advocated for students and staff and begun introducing concepts that will help us reimagine education for future generations of Des Moines students."

Here’s a picture where you can see the tree hole it was in.

From the Wikipedia:

Dryad's saddle is an annual mushroom commonly found attached to dead logs and stumps or on living hardwood trees at one point with a thick stem. Generally, the fruit body is round and between 8–30 centimetres (3–12 inches) acros – exceptionally 60 cm (24 in) – and up to 10 cm (4 in) thick. The body can be yellow to brown and has "squamules" or scales on its upper side. On the underside one can see the pores that are characteristic of the genus Cerioporus; they are made up of tubes packed together closely.

It was high up so I couldn’t see the "squamules".
