I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Health~ma for your kid, Gris.

My entire hippie town is honking and cheering. I joined my friends for some socially distanced bubbly. It’s a glorious afternoon.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Health~ma for your kid, Gris.

Ugh. Got woken up at 4 and 5:15 this morning by a yowling cat, got up at 7 to medicate said cat, and was rousted out of bed at 7:15 by Mr. S. Why does this child, who has difficulty getting up on school days, decide to get up early on the weekend? (I know, because 5 year old, that's why.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And since it is my mom’s birthday, I am reminded that it is also the anniversary of the October Revolution which seems oddly appropriate

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

The NPR reporters sound so happy.

OTOH, county of my birth, DAMN IT HOW COULD YOU

(Jim asks if I am really that surprised. No - angry, but not surprised.)

Our wings are not tired.

You made me check my county of birth, Oneida county in NY. 65% for the orange blight. At least NYC and other pockets of the state overwhelmed them. When I was a kid it was a solid Democratic area. My city predominately Italian/Catholic and loving Kennedy as president. (First one I remember) Don't know what happened. I left when I was a teenager.

Current day my county is blue, in a red state. DH is making noises about moving.

Yeah, Laura, when I left in '82 Greene County was firmly Democratic. This year 71% voted for the Cheeto Vulgarian, and everyone Republican downticket.

Your DH is not the only one; a dear friend of mine still in Utah is actively soliciting opinions on potential new homes, as she and her spouse are in the same sitch: Salt Lake County is generally blue, and the rest of the state is very very red.

Can you imagine what Georgia is going to be like the next few months? Every single second of airtime political ads, the phone calls, texts, door knocking. There is going to be so much money thrown at these runoffs. Yikes.

I got my swim in before Eta hits us. Supposed to get 6-1/2 inches of rain the next few days. While swimming I could hear horns beeping and cheers. So happy for all of us.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Laura, rural Western NY is such a weird place. My birth county, Livingston, was 62% Trump. While I am absolutely appalled by their politics, I think they too should fight for the popular vote over the electoral college. But also, who the heck flies confederate flags in the north!!! I guess we do. And my grandpa was truly Archie Bunker and his kids (my mom and Uncles) were Meathead so it is an interesting existence.
