Isn't it a little bit eerie that we haven't had any Prez tweets? The gap is kinda howling. And possibly full of tentacles.

Matt, I had to laugh--I had no idea you knew the "on the roof" story.

I like canteloupe, and if someone will scoop me tasty little seedless watermelon balls I'll eat them, but Honeydew is way too sweet.

Is it migraine season? And also, my body seems to be forcibly reclaiming its time for late nights by demanding naps. Can I just snooze till Nov. 5th?

We grew cucumbers this summer, and they're crisper when you pluck them from your garden and eat them minutes later. Every time I have one, I'm struck by how they're just watermelon's little sibling.

@TheRealHoarse:

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.

@StephenKing:

Have to admit it sounds like one of mine. Except where are the tentacles? There should be tentacles.

My mind went there last week, during the super spreader event for Amy Covid Barrett, before Trump's Covid diagnosis. [link]

I will take all the (decent) watermelon.

I think my melon weirdness is that I really don't hate anything. I can eat many weird foods that other people hate. It is really JUST melon that I hate, and I also hate that it infects the rest of the fruit salad and makes everything taste like melon. Why do the strawberries have to taste like cantaloupe???

I like melon, which is odd because when I was a kid I hated honeydew and cantaloupe.

I've watched way too much cable news today. My family is not convinced he's really sick; they think it could be a way to get him out of the debates and also raise the stock price of Regeneron which he owns stock in (I don't know for sure that he does) if he takes it and is miraculously "cured". There's already so much misinformation coming out of the WH, who knows what's true.

But he hasn't tweeted, and the video supposedly made at the hospital has at least one bad edit when probably they cut out him coughing. Makes me think he's really sick.

Why do the strawberries have to taste like cantaloupe???

I feel that way about strawberries. I've never liked strawberries. Even when picking them straight from my grandparent's garden. I hate that all the smoothie mixes in the store have strawberry in them.

I'll bet the docs at Walter Reed wouldn't let him have the cell phone with him (or his staff used that as an excuse to take it away).

Makes me think he's really sick.

He's had heart palpitations and fever up to 103. He wouldn't be getting an experimental drug if he weren't at least Moderately sick.

Omg did y'all see that Harrison brought his own plexiglass screen to the debate with Graham?!?!?

I've been watching clips of the debate -- Harrison is not letting up on Graham at all. Graham called Democrats nuts and Harrison started his response with saying the first thing you do if you want to work with someone is not call them nuts... and on something else he pointed out that Graham has only sponsored 3 bills that became law in 25 years.

Omg did y'all see that Harrison brought his own plexiglass screen to the debate with Graham?!?!?

I did! And he totally schooled Graham in the debate.

There was no way I thought we'd be competitive in SC, but it's neck and neck right now.
