I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

There's no automatic recount triggered but it can be requested in circumstances like this so it will go to a recount. But the Dems had a huge turnout, and excellent Union support for Lamb.

So I'm ready for a tidal wave in November. Let's get there.

Have they called the PA special election yet? I'm afraid to look.

NBC called it for Lamb. I think I awoke to Trump screaming.

It will be nice to read the Stephan Hawking obits today and be reminded of the forces for good.

Apparently they couldn't call the PA election last night because of absentee votes that had to be counted in a deeply red county, then they ended up being for Lamb by 200 votes. Not enough outstanding now to swing it. Like Moore they probably will never admit defeat and will want a recount. Cheers!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's still officially too close to call, I guess? I'm afraid to get excited.

They are calling it as "apparent", but I guess until they do every last absentee and military ballot they won't make it official. Seems that the numbers aren't possible though. As much as I am delighted that the Dems picked up the seat, I have to admit to being even more delighted that the GOP put so many resources into the loss. Knowing that Trump is pissed off is a simple pleasure, while awaiting him being hauled off to the pokey.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow!

Has anyone ever had a radial nerve injury? I'm pretty sure mine is fubared...I am a side sleeper, and with this move, I'm really noticing how messed up it is beyond just soreness. I'd thought I was getting arthritis in my right hand, but now I wonder. And with the painting and scrubbing and hauling involved in the move, I've had several very painful cramps in that arm lasting over 10 minutes, and lots of twitching muscles when at rest. I think I've compressed the nerve...but our deductible is so high and we don't have co-pays until we're hit $5K OOP.

Does stretching help? I'm trying not to side sleep, but it's pretty hard not to...when I'm asleep, I naturally go into that position.

If we can have a fictional character for Secretary of State, I'll take Chrisjen Avasarala.

Oh hell yes.

So can the students that can't walk out on classes today because of a snow day walk out on the make up day?
