Jessica: Given the origin of our community, are we certain that migrating on Halloween with a full moon out isn't asking for trouble?
Gud: No problem, all the real demons find it too crass to go out.

What is even happening?
From meara, in Natter:
I feel like y’all will appreciate this story from a FB friend of mine here in Seattle:
Halloween 2020.
What was supposed to be a super fun Halloween surprise this evening turned into a terrifying event. I hid pieces of candy each with a little flickering battery lit candle around our backyard for an after dark candy hunt.
We went outside and began the hunt in the dark only to encounter a family of raccoons that had been feasting on the candy in the yard. They didn't run away despite shining lights on them, screaming, and waving long sticks in their direction. This turned into Kid screaming and crying hysterically. She was then running around the yard waving a shovel around above her head screaming "the raccoons can't have MY CANDY."
Everyone is calm and safe inside now watching Ghostbusters. But Kid did say that “Halloween was TOO SCARY this year.”

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

The skies over New York are full of ridiculously ominous clouds. Like, come on atmosphere, don't be that way. If this were a movie it would be about 20 minutes before the aliens invade.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Dana: Dentists have said that teeth-grinding is way up this year. Can't imagine why.
-t -: Surely it's 4 out 5 dentists agree that teeth-grinding is way up?

Steph: Considering how the current administration has handled the pandemic so far, I would expect them to sell the vaccine to another country, or maybe just smash all the vials for the hell of it and tell Pfizer not to make more. Oh! Or give Trump like 500 doses of the vaccine because he thinks it will make him super-immune, and *then* smash the rest of the vials, especially if someone in his administration has an active case of Covid, because fuck them.
Dana: "Folks, I've had so much vaccine that I'm now immune to all diseases! Doctors have never seen anything like it, they're like 'President Trump, we've never seen anything like it, no one has ever responded to the vaccine like this,' and some people are saying I might not even be human anymore."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The only way AT&T will ever see another red cent from me is if they dig up my grave and find loose change in the pockets of the suit I'm buried in.

From Natter...
flea: Today the state of Ohio included Ohio on their list of states they recommend avoiding travel to, and quarantining if you do.
Ohio's Steph L.: I try not to travel to Ohio, but I fail every dang time.
