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
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

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!

What is even happening?
She always seemed like the obvious pick, but I'm still really happy to see it. Warren has always my favorite in the primaries, but I think Kamala is the better veep pick.
This is exactly how I feel, Gud. I even phone banked for Warren during the primary.
I'm seeing some butthurt Warren supporters on Twitter, but most of them are being grownups. I don't know how they thought she would usher in leftie Dem utopia as VP when Biden ran on being not extreme.
Besides, I don't understand how people thought two white, septuagenarians from small East Coast states were going to ignite the country.
I hope she gets a great cabinet post, or (in my fantasies) unseats the turtle as Senate Majority Leader, but I'm happy with Harris.
In fact, while I would not have been sad if Biden picked Warren, the Kamala Harris announcement has left me feeling legitimately happy and hopeful. I think had he picked Warren, I'd be (more) worried.

Oh sj! I'm sorry. I hope ltc just had too many goodies and is feeling fine tomorrow.
