Hope you can stay high and dry, Bev! Thirty-five days is approaching biblical...
I am sad to read the local Anheuser-Busch brewery is closing. I don't have any fondness for their beer, but I like smelling the malt when I drive past. And I'm not sure how many people they employ, but it seems like a pretty big facility so presumably it's not an insignificant number. And if the building is going to sit empty that will not be good - they are just getting around to building something else where the old Walmart was, that might have taken 20 years...
Sidenote, a fair number of the headlines are referring to it as a plant, which is how I tend to think of it (or as a factory, sometimes) so that's some nice validation for what I thought was idiosyncrasy
