Okay, remember when I said the photo of Joe Biden with the pizza boxes was the best picture of the election? I lied.
THIS is the best picture of the election. So awesome.

That is fab.
Hello! catching up!
I couldn't bear to watch the election coverage but I was lying in bed reading and heard a cheer go up from the neighborhood and decided I could go to sleep knowing the results.

I want her to be friends with Nathan Fillion's Captain Canada. That would be good for the world.
So a few days ago we got one of those Christmas mailings from a charity, St. Josephs School or something, for Lakota kids in South Dakota. It had the usual address labels and stickers for Christmas cards, plus a not too shoddy dreamcatcher. I'm always slightly annoyed by big, glossy charity requests that seem to cost more than what they're asking you to donate. I thought the dreamcatcher was a nice touch, and I looked over the packaging, wondering if it had been made by the kids or something. Nope, Made in China. Kind of took the shine off it.
Wouldn't the money to commission knick knacks and stickers and postage be better spent on, oh, I don't know, the kids you wanting me to send money for? How much of my money will go to the next knick knack from China?
On the bright side, Connie, it was probably made by Chinese kids....

It's pretty awesome.
We're lucky-haven't gotten snow yet.
AND YOU BETTER NOT TILL TUESDAY.
Nora beat me to it, so let me just add DITTO
Connie - direct mailers like are successful. The knick knack cost pennies. and since it was from an organization you do not have ties with, it was a blind mailer, which is worth them spending the extra pennies on in order to potentially bring in a new donor. New donors are gold and donors cost less money to retain that to initially get.
