    I was laid off today. First time I&#39;ve dealt with something like this. Not much else to say at this stage. If anyone has meteorology work of any kind, please let me know. I&#39;m pretty tied down to Hermiston for now, but open to some forms of hybrid work in the Pacific Northwest.

    All right friends, I need help identifying this plant. I’m pulling weeds in my #garden and want to know if it’s worth keeping.
