I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm pretty thrilled with Kamala as Biden's VP pick!

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

I like her; I just don't like that she'd be leaving the Senate.

At least there's a democratic Governor (Newsom) to replace her. And, of course, he gave her the first boost to her career when he made her District Attorney for SF.

When he first became Mayor he placed Kamala as DA, and an Asian woman (Heather Fong) as Police Chief and another woman as Fire Chief. All firsts.

So I'm confident in his appointment bona fides.

I'm concerned about that, too, Toddson. Hopefully we can get someone good in her place, it'll be interesting to see who runs for her seat when the time comes

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My DH is out in his shed*, which he uses to smoke cigars and read, and is in the middle of a fenced-in part of our yard where the dogs can run around. I ran outside and shouted to him "It's Kamala Harris!" And felt like I was in an old movie.

  • The shed is a nice large wooden one which has electricity and a couple of old recliners, so it's a very comfy hangout.

I was prepared to grit my teeth, but I'm so glad that I don't have to be angry about Biden's VP pick.

I'm picturing you dashing past some laundry flapping on a line, Scrappy. In black & white.

Our wings are not tired.

She was my pick initially for the top spot, but I was disappointed in how she did in the debates. I'm delighted. She was in the top position all along because of their relationship. Onwards to the election. Can it be tomorrow please?

Oh, that's no fun for anybody. Especially on a birthday!
