I think this may call for a F2F to get flea to drink all the drinks!

I do not need to start a FB argument on someone else's page. No one will change their minds. I should instead find a video of a puppy and watch it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

ALWAYS good advice.

I never had much of a tolerance for alcohol, and I have almost none now that I am an old lady. I am basically a one-drink person, and I have to be really careful about red wine.

I watching (via twitter) the trial of a police officer accused of murder for killing an unarmed black man in a traffic stop in my city last summer (DuBose/Tensing) and it's hurting my heart.

All I can do is check the headlines, because the details are too awful.

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

538 is being very conservative in their predictions, according to another site I read somewhere yesterday. But she's still winning. This morning her downturn started to move up again. FL, NC, and NV have slid over into blue again, and she doesn't even need them if she gets NH, VA and PA, then she's won with 271. 272 if she gets one of Maine's district votes, which she will. Also, from what I'm reading, the polls are all underestimating the force of the Black and Latinx vote in FL, TX, and NC. I still don't think she'll turn Texas blue, though.

But I won't relax until it's over.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing Texas is in play.

Four days to go. I won't relax until the networks call it. (Because even if Trump is stupid enough to attempt a legal challenge, it won't go anywhere -- there are, after all, minimum criteria to meet in order to challenge election results, and so far his objection is "I don't like it that I'm losing" -- and this won't turn into a debacle like 2000.)

We always have dinner with a group of friends on the second Tuesday of the month, and I told Tim I'd still go (even though I want to be home watching the returns) as long as everyone understands I will be GLUED to my phone. (Dinner is from 7 to 9 at the very latest, and I know the networks won't call anything before 11:00, but still. I livestreamed the roll-call vote at the DNC; you can damn bet I want to watch the returns on this one.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wouldn't a challenge to the election have to be based on specific evidence of voting irregularities in a given state, and require the vote to be close enough that the results would change based on those specific votes being thrown out? I'm pretty sure the roving packs of Mexican illegals fraudulently voting in Trump's imagination wouldn't leave any actual evidence.
