I'm not usually wowed by celebrities, but when I learned my idol, Dick Van Dyke, was taking photos with fans, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I’m almost seven decades younger than Van Dyke, who recently turned 100, but I’ve always adored him. Growing up in Los Angeles, I loved watching "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," but my favorite was "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

And while I know I’m not the refined young lady she hoped for as a daughter, she’s been my champion. We visited the local arboretum, haunted our old town, even had a picnic on the porch of our old house. I didn’t know that these days — the early days — were the good days when she remembered where she was, who she was, who I was. And thanks to her, as the child of a person who is getting old, I’m learning to be more patient, more understanding. And every now and then, the mother I know returns for a cameo, then disappears just as quickly.

The consequences of smoking tobacco, such as heart and lung disease, are well documented. Moreover, cannabis smoking shouldn’t be permitted where tobacco smoking is banned.
Consider how it has uncorked broadband investment and saved taxpayers billions by slashing the Biden team’s red tape. Congress appropriated $42 billion in the 2021 infrastructure bill for states to expand broadband to “unserved” and rural communities. But Democrats wanted the money, and the Biden team then used it in an attempt to micromanage broadband nationwide. States receiving funds had to consult with unions, native American tribes and “local community organizations” on their plans to expand broadband. States also had to submit plans for Commerce Department review, explaining how they would make broadband “affordable” for middle-class consumers.

As we move into the colder months, it’s only natural to want to keep that sun-kissed glow you had from summer. What’s not natural is the spray tan or body makeup used to achieve that look — unless that is, if you know how to color-match, blend and apply self-tanner correctly. “Using concealer to spot treat like this without addressing the surrounding skin will always look fake and noticeable. If you insist on wearing hand makeup, Eibon suggests applying a transfer-proof leg makeup used to cover dark varicose veins.
