The socktober situation is getting a little dire. I didn't count before I started ... may need to go store soon.

Our wings are not tired.
Starting my day with prediction pages gets better every day. [link] Also loving the blue tints for Arizona, Iowa, and Ohio. [link] I have to stock up on booze for the debate tonight though. I shouldn't watch, but I know I will. It won't be pretty. The desperation level and lack of regard for our country by Trump is reaching new levels.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'll be watching too, unless I crash early from The Crud like last night. I know it will be a useless shitshow, but I'm reluctantly fascinated.

Because books.
Heart sang "Stairway to Heaven" at ... the Kennedy Center Honors, maybe? Something like that, for the band, and Robert Plant was teary by the end. It was pretty special. (I actually don't mind "Stairway," though.)
It's almost too warm for socktober here! I don't know how you're doing it, hippocampus. Great socks, though. I clearly need to up my game.

I'm getting a massage after work, and I refuse to undo all its good by watching the debate. It would be straight up wasting money. But thanks for the links to the map, Laura. It just gets prettier and prettier.
Matt, I'm glad the concert was good. Heart provided the soundtrack for some very important stages in my life, and it's nice to know they're still kicking.
Hugs or general waving in your direction (as desired) to everyone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Can I say how good it was to see Lee and shrift? They are the first Buffistas to visit me in Melbourne (I did catch up with meara in Sydney lo these many years back), and the first to meet Biyi and Ryan. I hope the rest of your trip is as good.

Happy birthday, Calli!
Happy birthday, Burrell!

Happy birthday, Calli! Happy birthday, Burrell! (I missed board birthdays so much).
Amy, I want you to come adventuring downtown, maybe in December when Javachick is back?
I started doing socktober because my back, left knee & right hip have gone all crazypants & annoying (thank you childhood orthopediacs Drs. Jeckyll & Hyde) and I needed something to look at during PT that would cheer me up, but about 1 day into it, I realized it could be useful too... so every time I post socks, I set aside a new pair to go to the shelter. A couple of other people are doing it also, so hopefully it will help with winter coming (supposedly).
I need to make it 9 more days. I've got my Halloween socks already, and I have today's and tomorrow's. I am hoping Atomic sells socks :D.

Happy birthday, ladies!!

If you get to town early enough Thursday I have some recommendations of places in my neighborhood you can check out.
