"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You should hear the discussions happening in the government around this. No one thinks they can work for him, but at the same time we all swore an oath to protect the Constitution.

When Trump got the nomination I wrote out (in my head) a season of a very black comedy about an administration that realizes their newly elected President is insane and intent on destroying the world and they have to work overtime to thwart him. The only reason they don't actually take him out is because the NSA, CIA, FBI and Secret Service refuse to coordinate their efforts and they keep shooting each other.

It looks really strong that we'll flip the Senate. We need to gain four seats and two are definitely going to the Dems. And we just need to win two more out of five close races. Also Trump will probably hurt down ballot voting and depress Republican turnout. So...

I don't think we'll get the House because of Gerrymandering but getting the Senate will be huge for the Supreme Court. I just want Obama to pull back Merrick Garland as I don't want anymore fucking white men on the SCOTUS. Especially a moderate. I want every one of HRC's appointments to be women and POC. We got fucked bad by the 12 year run of Republican control of the White House from Reagan to Bush Sr. Now it's time to turn it around.

ltc is walking too and completely fearless.

Ahhh, welcome to the exciting world of forehead goose-eggs and bruises!

Don't freak out. It happens to them all. They're very top heavy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear, Kalshane, that sounds crappy. Best of luck to you.

Seriously, if the Senate flips, I want Pres. Obama to withdraw Merrick Garland on November 9 before the current Senate can decide they're going to approve him after all. Because fuck them.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Thanks. I'm frustrated. My wife has been telling me to find a new GI for over a year and I was dragging my feet and just dealing with the pain, so this is as much my fault as anything. Maybe if I had switched docs sooner it wouldn't have reached this point.

Especially after McCain making his "promise" (that he then took back) that the Senate wouldn't approve any nominees that a President HRC sent them.

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

Kalshane, that sounds miserable. I hope it works out better than it seems like it will right now.

I sit with David and Steph w.r.t. the Supreme Court etc.

I'm doing an editing marathon tonight, because I almost had a panic attack today looking at my schedule. Luckily, Cymbalta keeps me awake.

Horseshoe crabs aren't really crabs, they're more like Jillifonts,

Which is why pictures of them freak me out! But they're really fascinating. HARVEST THEIR BLOOD FOR SCIENCE!

I support this idea so much.

And then there are the few deplorables who want to have their salary and benefits paid for by the government but don't want to pay taxes, or who think it's OK to support a government by and for just some of the people.

Oh, yeah, I get that, too. It's like the mission we serve has no value to them.

Thrive to spite them

The females are the larger and pairs will come ashore to lay eggs.

It's both bird migration season and horseshoe crab spawning season (at least where I was in FL) so thr birds eat the eggs.

Also they molt. The crabs not the birds. I have picturEs of mold I thought was remains of dead crab.

On FB I've got Gulf Specimen Marone Lab friended, they are a great small grass roots lab that has touch tanks and other things. They collect samples and also save turtles, etc. Some of their specimens have been in space.
