Ok, but if the ducks are always canon, can Jack just like. . .buy every newsie kid a toy duck when they're born? Because that would be hilarious.
okay I was going to write this as an actual drabble, but it’s not really happening right now (saving for possibly later though…) so anyways: (summer fic kids only)
Jack definitely buys all the kids a toy duck
(he likes the stuffed ducks best)
it starts with Pete, when K’s about four months and they’re both hit with the fact that oh shit we’re about to be parents
so he buys a little stuffed duck, Pete’s first toy, to make Katherine smile
(because as silly as it is, she loves the ducklings story from college)
With Corey, he buys a duck as soon as they find out she’s pregnant.
When she starts having problems with Corey, Katherine starts holding onto the duck more and more
it gave her something to ground her during bed rest when Jack and Pete were out of the house
With Lucy, he didn’t buy a duck until they found out they were having a girl
(all the while a bit teary because they’re having a girl and it’s more than a little overwhelming)
Brooklyn was with Spot and Race about four months when Jack bought her a duck
he was painting a wall for their living room (unsolicited, but that’s another story) and he offered to paint Bee’s room and the next day he brought paint over and said “oh I gotcha somethin’ else, Bee”
and he gives her a duck and Spot knows that’s something Jack does for his kids and he’s like “Jackie, it ain’t official or nothin’” because they’ve just started the adoption process and they’re not very far into it or anything
and Jack just shrugs and says “I’m hopeful.”
Jack bought Annie’s and took it to Albert when he was dropping off their old changing table and crib and everything else Katherine could find in their basement and he says “I gotcha lil’ girl a duck, it’s kinda stupid, but Pete, Corey, an’ Lucy got one, and I got Brooklyn one–”
and Al’s like “yeah… so… so stupid, Kelly, ya ol’ softie” as he’s trying to hide the fact that he’s definitely not tearing up
Baby Alex’s story is the most boring, honestly, JoJo, Buttons, and Angel had this big baby shower and he and Katherine show up and give them a beautiful stuffed duck and Angel has to leave the room because she’s emotional
she always gets emotional when people are so supportive of their little unconventional relationship and adding a baby in the mix made it even harder to be deemed “acceptable” and she just can’t believe they’re so kind
y’all are gonna love the Golden Trio, they’re so soft.

Today, the Church remembers the Martyrs of Algeria.
Orate pro nobis.
The Martyrs of Algeria were a group of nineteen Christians slaughtered by the Armed Islamic Group between 1994 to 1996 during the Algerian Civil War. Seven of them were Trappist monks who refused to flee out of love for the Algerian people, and the other twelve were priests or professed religious belonging to religious congregations, five of whom were nuns, and a bishop. Their nations of origin were France (15), Tunisia (1), Spain (2), and Belgium (1).
The seven Trappist monks from their Atlas convent were kidnapped at around 1:15am on 27 March 1996 after 20 armed men stormed the place and took the monks prisoner leaving two hidden monks in separate rooms. The telephone lines had been cut meaning a call to police was impossible for the two hidden monks while an enforced curfew meant the two could not drive to the nearest police station. The seven monks were all beheaded two months later and their heads were discovered, though the bodies were not. The funeral for the monks was celebrated at Notre-Dame d’Afrique in Algiers on 2 June and were interred at the Tibhirine convent on 4 June.
The nineteen individuals beatified were:

He served as the director of the Saint Bonaventure School in Algiers from 1969 to 1976 and served as a mathematics teacher from that point until 1988.

Amen.

Near Santa Cruz CA
Santa Cruz, CA
Santa Cruz, California is a place in between a small city and a large city. Thereby, a medium town, at any rate, I love many things here. I enjoy the plethora of activities that are fun yet cheap. This includes biking, surfing, hiking, running, walking, and many more. The city is socially active and politically competitive. Economically demanding, but many jobs are available everywhere. I always love the incredible scenery wherever I am in this place. This is such an exciting place to be. I have been here since I was a kid when our family relocated here because my dad’s job was transferred here. Since then, I started to love the city.

Anytime Plumbing, Inc.
I have been frustrated with the plumbing problem I encountered at home when I arrived. I immediately find a plumber to be on the rescue. I searched on Google, and I found Anytime Plumbing in my area. I rushed and called them at (831) 212 3188. They arrived in our house in Santa Cruz County just immediately after we got off of the phone. If there is one thing I like the most about Anytime Plumbing, it is the fact that they are available around the clock. Because they arrived just on time, they were able to save it on time without recurring any further damage.
212 Grams Of Methamphetamine Found During Traffic Stop: SCCSO
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — A man was arrested during a traffic stop in Live Oak Sunday afternoon, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said. During the stop, a deputy searched the car and found 212 grams of methamphetamine as well as cash and other drug paraphernalia, according to the sheriff's office. Read more here
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office reported that a man named Keith Lachenmyer was arrested on the noon of Sunday during a traffic stop in Live Oak, Santa Cruz with the charge of carrying 212 grams of methamphetamine as well as cash and other drug paraphernalia. These things were found when the car of the criminal was searched. Moreover, it is stated by the sources that the driver’s car was searched because he was suspected of carrying methamphetamine for sale and the suspicion was proved right afterward. He is in prison in Santa Cruz jail and is facing has multiple charges. I hope all drug carriers and addicts will be arrested.
Santa Cruz Surfing Museum in Santa Cruz, CA
A great place! This is a description I can give to the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum in Santa Cruz, California. For many decades, this has been a hot spot for people who love surfing, and I personally like to be here. The photographs I took when I went here with my hubby has a sweet story to tell. I love the plenty of surfing memories I got from the beginning until I call myself a master. Anyway, while it is super fun to be here, this place is not that big, so I still prefer you to go to another attraction if you do not spend the whole day surfing. But like what I said, this is a great place.

Is The Bay Area’s ‘Unprecedented’ Lockdown The First Of Many?
Life came to a grinding halt for millions of San Francisco Bay Area residents as the most stringent isolation orders in the country took effect Tuesday.
To stem the spread of the new coronavirus, roughly 7 million people in seven counties were instructed to “shelter in place” and were prohibited from leaving their homes except for “essential” activities such as purchasing food, medicine and other necessities. Most businesses closed, with the exception of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants (for takeout and delivery only), hospitals, gas stations, banks and a handful of others.
The county orders, which have the force of law behind them, will last until April 7, although health officials could extend or shorten that deadline. Disobeying the orders could be a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment.
For many people in the famously unaffordable Bay Area, the orders could well mean lost wages and jobs, as customers disappear and businesses struggle to pay their bills.
“It’s unprecedented in modern times to have this level of quarantining,” said Jeffrey Schlegelmilch, deputy director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University in New York City.

The Bay Area orders, which affect San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Cruz counties, have sown confusion, in part because cities, counties and states across the country are creating different, sometimes conflicting rules for their residents. Just one day before the shelter-in-place orders were announced, Gov. Gavin Newsom called on all California residents 65 and older to stay home, then expanded his orders after the Bay Area news broke.
On Tuesday, Sacramento County issued a similar directive, although it stopped short of legally ordering people to shelter in place.
Other places around the country are expected to follow the Bay Area’s example, including New York City, where Mayor Bill de Blasio told residents Tuesday to expect a shelter-in-place order within the next 48 hours.
Why is this happening in the Bay Area?
These seven counties have more than 350 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including at least five deaths. But because testing has been so limited, the actual number of residents infected with the novel coronavirus is likely far higher than the official count.
“We have been operating under a veil of ignorance because we do not have a sense of the truth,” Schlegelmilch said. “Rather than having more specific measures aimed at containment, we have to have much more aggressive and widespread social distancing measures over the entire population to prevent this from completely overwhelming our health care system.”
The Bay Area is already seeing community spread of COVID-19, and the number of new cases is growing daily. In San Mateo County, for example, officials announced Tuesday that cases had jumped from 42 to 64 overnight.
“The infection rates in the six most populous counties of the Bay Area and the City of Berkeley suggest that the situation is critical and will worsen quickly, especially without rigorous intervention,” Santa Clara County wrote in an FAQ for residents.
The health care system is already overwhelmed in some areas, the county said: “The sooner these extreme measures are taken, the more effective they are because of how the virus spreads.”
Are such extreme measures really necessary?
While the new orders may seem draconian, public health experts say they are good policy.
The Bay Area counties, like the rest of the country, don’t know how pervasive the virus is. And while a trove of studies prove that social distancing helps stem the spread of coronavirus, there is less agreement about what exactly that looks like. For instance, is it necessary to prohibit gatherings of more than five people? Or is more than 50 enough?
It’s better to err on the side of caution, said Dr. Ashish Jha, a professor of global health at Harvard University. “The cost of overreacting is that there’s an economic cost and a social cost,” he said. “But the cost of underreacting is a lot of people dying unnecessarily.”
Even though Americans had been warned to stay home and avoid big public gatherings, photos circulating on social media over the weekend showed that many people were continuing to carry on life as usual, Jha said, such as gathering at bars, meeting for brunch and attending St. Patrick’s Day parades.
“We are late in the game and we need to act aggressively,” Jha said.
Should these decisions be made at the regional level?
Public health authorities in cities, counties and states often have more extensive powers than federal officials to order quarantines during emergencies, said Schlegelmilch of Columbia. That’s because their authority was conferred in the days of smallpox and yellow fever, he explained.
Failure to comply with the new Bay Area orders, for example, may be punishable by a fine or imprisonment, according to the city of San Francisco.
But when President Donald Trump on Monday warned Americans not to gather in groups of 10 or more, and to work from home if possible, those were suggestions rather than legal orders.
Dr. Richard Waldhorn, a professor of medicine at Georgetown University, said a regional approach makes sense, especially in a large and heterogeneous state like California.
“The deserts probably don’t need as extreme measures as the heavily populated Bay Area,” he said.
And rural areas of the state may be reluctant to order residents to stay in their homes, said Dr. George Rutherford, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California-San Francisco.
“We have a huge agricultural workforce that has to get the crops planted so we have food later in the year. If you miss that, there are big consequences of that,” he said.
What kind of economic help is available to people affected by the orders?
There’s no question that millions of Californians will take a financial hit from the crisis.
“Every time you’re implementing measures to prevent a public health disaster, you’re unintentionally creating another disaster” because of economic slowdowns and wage losses among people who are paid hourly or can’t work remotely, Schlegelmilch said.
Leaders promise that help will be available at the federal, state and local levels.
The Trump administration proposed a $1 trillion economic stimulus plan Tuesday, including sending cash payments to Americans and delaying tax payments for 90 days, which requires congressional approval.
California was the first state to get the federal Small Business Administration to offer loans to both for-profit and nonprofit businesses hurting because of the outbreak. Loans of up to $2 million are available.
California legislators on Monday night passed a $1.1 billion emergency response package that  will include assistance  for individuals, nonprofit organizations and small businesses, but the exact details haven’t been hammered out yet. Lawmakers then suspended the legislature for the first time in 158 years, and won’t reconvene until April 13 or later.
The state is also encouraging workers to file disability insurance claims if they’re sick, or apply for paid family leave if they are quarantined or caring for sick family members. Newsom waived the one-week waiting period to file for unemployment and disability insurance. Workers may also be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if they can’t do their jobs because of the virus.
While tenants still have to pay rent, Newsom authorized local governments to stop evictions, slow foreclosures and stop cutting off utilities during the outbreak. San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Los Angeles are among the localities taking steps to halt evictions.
There are more local relief plans in the works. The city of San Francisco announced a $10 million plan to provide an additional five days of sick leave to workers who are home sick or caring for family members.
Who can go into work?
Not a lot of people.
In the affected counties, people who can work from home are required to do so. And those who staff “essential” services, such as health care, municipal sanitation services, law enforcement and jails, are still on the job.
Each county has defined what’s essential in their jurisdiction. For instance, San Mateo County says fishermen can work, and San Francisco has special instructions about nannies.
Anyone working in gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores, banks and laundromats, and people like plumbers and veterinarians, also are allowed to work.
There are some other circumstances in which workers are allowed to do their jobs in person. People making and delivering food can, but people serving it cannot. Drivers for ride-hailing companies and operators of public transit can still work, but those services  should be used only for “essential” travel.
But such stringent orders cannot last forever, even with government aid.
“How long can that go on before you start to see detrimental effects on people?” asked Schlegelmilch of Columbia.

These seven counties have more than 350 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including at least five deaths. But because testing has been so limited, the actual number of residents infected with the novel coronavirus is likely far higher than the official count.
“We have been operating under a veil of ignorance because we do not have a sense of the truth,” Schlegelmilch said. “Rather than having more specific measures aimed at containment, we have to have much more aggressive and widespread social distancing measures over the entire population to prevent this from completely overwhelming our health care system.”
The Bay Area is already seeing community spread of COVID-19, and the number of new cases is growing daily. In San Mateo County, for example, officials announced Tuesday that cases had jumped from 42 to 64 overnight.
“The infection rates in the six most populous counties of the Bay Area and the City of Berkeley suggest that the situation is critical and will worsen quickly, especially without rigorous intervention,” Santa Clara County wrote in an FAQ for residents.
The health care system is already overwhelmed in some areas, the county said: “The sooner these extreme measures are taken, the more effective they are because of how the virus spreads.”
Are such extreme measures really necessary?
While the new orders may seem draconian, public health experts say they are good policy.
The Bay Area counties, like the rest of the country, don’t know how pervasive the virus is. And while a trove of studies prove that social distancing helps stem the spread of coronavirus, there is less agreement about what exactly that looks like. For instance, is it necessary to prohibit gatherings of more than five people? Or is more than 50 enough?
It’s better to err on the side of caution, said Dr. Ashish Jha, a professor of global health at Harvard University. “The cost of overreacting is that there’s an economic cost and a social cost,” he said. “But the cost of underreacting is a lot of people dying unnecessarily.”
Even though Americans had been warned to stay home and avoid big public gatherings, photos circulating on social media over the weekend showed that many people were continuing to carry on life as usual, Jha said, such as gathering at bars, meeting for brunch and attending St. Patrick’s Day parades.
“We are late in the game and we need to act aggressively,” Jha said.
Should these decisions be made at the regional level?
Public health authorities in cities, counties and states often have more extensive powers than federal officials to order quarantines during emergencies, said Schlegelmilch of Columbia. That’s because their authority was conferred in the days of smallpox and yellow fever, he explained.
Failure to comply with the new Bay Area orders, for example, may be punishable by a fine or imprisonment, according to the city of San Francisco.
But when President Donald Trump on Monday warned Americans not to gather in groups of 10 or more, and to work from home if possible, those were suggestions rather than legal orders.
Dr. Richard Waldhorn, a professor of medicine at Georgetown University, said a regional approach makes sense, especially in a large and heterogeneous state like California.
“The deserts probably don’t need as extreme measures as the heavily populated Bay Area,” he said.
And rural areas of the state may be reluctant to order residents to stay in their homes, said Dr. George Rutherford, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California-San Francisco.
“We have a huge agricultural workforce that has to get the crops planted so we have food later in the year. If you miss that, there are big consequences of that,” he said.
What kind of economic help is available to people affected by the orders?
There’s no question that millions of Californians will take a financial hit from the crisis.
“Every time you’re implementing measures to prevent a public health disaster, you’re unintentionally creating another disaster” because of economic slowdowns and wage losses among people who are paid hourly or can’t work remotely, Schlegelmilch said.
Leaders promise that help will be available at the federal, state and local levels.
The Trump administration proposed a $1 trillion economic stimulus plan Tuesday, including sending cash payments to Americans and delaying tax payments for 90 days, which requires congressional approval.
California was the first state to get the federal Small Business Administration to offer loans to both for-profit and nonprofit businesses hurting because of the outbreak. Loans of up to $2 million are available.
California legislators on Monday night passed a $1.1 billion emergency response package that  will include assistance  for individuals, nonprofit organizations and small businesses, but the exact details haven’t been hammered out yet. Lawmakers then suspended the legislature for the first time in 158 years, and won’t reconvene until April 13 or later.
The state is also encouraging workers to file disability insurance claims if they’re sick, or apply for paid family leave if they are quarantined or caring for sick family members. Newsom waived the one-week waiting period to file for unemployment and disability insurance. Workers may also be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if they can’t do their jobs because of the virus.
While tenants still have to pay rent, Newsom authorized local governments to stop evictions, slow foreclosures and stop cutting off utilities during the outbreak. San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Los Angeles are among the localities taking steps to halt evictions.
There are more local relief plans in the works. The city of San Francisco announced a $10 million plan to provide an additional five days of sick leave to workers who are home sick or caring for family members.
Who can go into work?
Not a lot of people.
In the affected counties, people who can work from home are required to do so. And those who staff “essential” services, such as health care, municipal sanitation services, law enforcement and jails, are still on the job.
Each county has defined what’s essential in their jurisdiction. For instance, San Mateo County says fishermen can work, and San Francisco has special instructions about nannies.
Anyone working in gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores, banks and laundromats, and people like plumbers and veterinarians, also are allowed to work.
There are some other circumstances in which workers are allowed to do their jobs in person. People making and delivering food can, but people serving it cannot. Drivers for ride-hailing companies and operators of public transit can still work, but those services  should be used only for “essential” travel.
But such stringent orders cannot last forever, even with government aid.
“How long can that go on before you start to see detrimental effects on people?” asked Schlegelmilch of Columbia.

Is The Bay Area’s ‘Unprecedented’ Lockdown The First Of Many?
Life came to a grinding halt for millions of San Francisco Bay Area residents as the most stringent isolation orders in the country took effect Tuesday.
To stem the spread of the new coronavirus, roughly 7 million people in seven counties were instructed to “shelter in place” and were prohibited from leaving their homes except for “essential” activities such as purchasing food, medicine and other necessities. Most businesses closed, with the exception of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants (for takeout and delivery only), hospitals, gas stations, banks and a handful of others.
The county orders, which have the force of law behind them, will last until April 7, although health officials could extend or shorten that deadline. Disobeying the orders could be a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment.
For many people in the famously unaffordable Bay Area, the orders could well mean lost wages and jobs, as customers disappear and businesses struggle to pay their bills.
“It’s unprecedented in modern times to have this level of quarantining,” said Jeffrey Schlegelmilch, deputy director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University in New York City.

The Bay Area orders, which affect San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Cruz counties, have sown confusion, in part because cities, counties and states across the country are creating different, sometimes conflicting rules for their residents. Just one day before the shelter-in-place orders were announced, Gov. Gavin Newsom called on all California residents 65 and older to stay home, then expanded his orders after the Bay Area news broke.
On Tuesday, Sacramento County issued a similar directive, although it stopped short of legally ordering people to shelter in place.
Other places around the country are expected to follow the Bay Area’s example, including New York City, where Mayor Bill de Blasio told residents Tuesday to expect a shelter-in-place order within the next 48 hours.

Hunkering Down on the Monterey Bay
Yup. Santa Cruz is officially on lockdown—or, partial lockdown. They call it “shelter in place.” What this means: “essential services” are still allowed to stay open. There’s a list of these, they include things like grocery stores, hospitals, plumbers, and hardware stores. What? you say. No improv????? But I checked, it’s not on the list. But trust me, right now there are pods of Santa Cruz…

Question from an aspiring business owner
Question from an aspiring business owner
I’m interested in starting my own small business and I just had a few questions.
I’m looking into opening a skateboard shop where I would make and sell my own brand of boards alongside some other popular skateboard brands (Element/Vans/Santa Cruz/etc).
Do companies usually partner with businesses to supply them with their products or would I buy them wholesale from their distributor? Are there…
