I have 3 tvs tuned to Star Trek at the moment.
That seems like a good move.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I've got Firefly on the 'puter.
It is so bizarre, y'all. I haven't watched any coverage, and have locked myself out of fb for the day but...there are NO people on my street. Except for a few citizens going about their neighborhood business. Okay, not no one. Four people walking to the event. 4.
There is a very small rental tent across the street with bright orange vests. But nobody using it that I can see.
No noise. No bikers. Nothing.
This time 8 years ago, you could not take a step without bumping into revelers.
Weird.
I haven't taken Cagney out yet...he doesn't like wet weather...for fear of bumping into ugliness.
A friend who lives on the main walking route says she's seen a few people but nothing like we expect for tomorrow.
I don't even know how to feel about it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm not sure how to get through today, you guys.
Neither do I. Last night, we went to a concert in Silver Spring (right outside of DC). It was surreal. It felt like the whole room was vibrating, dreading what is to come. Frank Turner is a folk-punk artist, and he started the evening off with this song: [link]
The room exploded, and it gave me hope. We're not going down without a fight. But today... Today I'm going to mourn for my country, because it will never be the same again, even if we undo the terrible injustices that have already happened and are sure to come. He will have been president, and nothing will change or erase that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm going to be working from home (my cough got much worse this morning, psychosomatic or not) so I will probably have less distraction than I had planned. OTOH, I could potentially start drinking earlier.

100% this.
I am trying to change my website. Clean slate, etc. And it's not working as expected. Feh. I thought the demo site would just appear magically. Not happening. Bah!
Okay, now I hear some helicopters. Bye, Obamas. Please keep fighting the good fight!

I bought this wordpress template.
It's loaded on the deplorable, but affordable go daddy...until I can transfer it.

Tep, I'm so glad Kato is home with you. I've got you all in my heart.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm working from home today. It's a regular thing for me--Friday WFH. But today it means I'll be able to keep the tv on, tuned to Star Trek: TNG. Let Patrick Stewart's dulcet tones sooth my troubled soul.

Our wings are not tired.
Although my televisions will all be broadcasting Star Trek I have to leave for a dental appointment at noon. Upside of needing a crown? My dental student is Canadian, but understands our concerns.
Meanwhile I am really enjoying the Next Generation episodes that I remember, but are still fun.
