On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan discuss what looks like a break in the legislative logjam in DC, the January 6th related investigations, and recent economic news. But also a few other things, like Ivan once again discussing travel travails, Sam discussing long Covid, Ivan discovering a much beloved (by him anyway) service is shutting down, a teaser for a story about Dorfus, and finally, the joys of reanimating dead spiders!
