I had no idea one could hate melons. Live and learn.
(Hail to all melons, other than a yellowish melon that is slimy and tastes like nothing and does not worth the effort).
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

People who live in California might have a distorted view of what various fruits are like in the rest of the country, most of the year.
Well, minus-t is NorCal and seriously anti-melon and anti-Riesling!
But point taken.
So...it's turning into pure chaos in Washington right now.
The doctor said one thing about Trump that was all rosy, and two minutes later Mark Meadows contradicted him and said Trump's vitals were very concerning.
There are going to be a lot more Senators and politicians testing positive over the next several days.
I note specifically the Senators because it could legitimately affect the SCOTUS hearings they're trying to jam in before the election.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A group of people ignore a beloved woman's dying wish and rush to take advantage of her death.
They hold an event to announce their corrupt plan...
...and then one by one they start falling ill.
Gotta admit, it's all very Stephen King.
Have to admit it sounds like one of mine. Except where are the tentacles? There should be tentacles.

It will truly be sweet justice if enough GOP Senators stay infected to keep the SCOTUS nomination from proceeding. Keep hugging each other fellas.

How has McConnell escaped so far? I mean, I wouldn't want to hug him, but that's true for most of the others, too.

I'm a founding member of the Melon Haters Club. Not that I have an allergy or supertaster problem... I just don't like them. (I'm allowed just to not like some tastes, right?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I spent all of yesterday in bed with a migraine. I don't think I'm ready to catch up on the news.

I am pro-tentacle in this storyline. Wouldn't be any weirder than what's already happened.
Melon is of the ick. I have never had melon that tastes good; some just taste less awful than others.
