You basically had a mini road trip, with bonus food delivery! Sounds like a great way to spend Thanksgiving.
Typically in SF traffic across three bridges that would have taken like 5 hours, most of it bumper to bumper. Instead we did the whole thing in 2 hours with gorgeous weather and views on the bridges. Plus we got to see everybody! And listen to Van Morrison.
And since I gave Emmett two bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne with his food, he was feeling quite cheery by the time of the Zoom call that night.
Who would have thought Twitler would spend $3 million on a gift for us this holiday season? [link]
That does sound like a perfect day, David.
I mean this 100% sincerely: I love seeing my extroverts get the energizing people-time they need, especially because the pandemic has drastically curtailed that out of necessity.
Seriously, with my station at the polls being the front door I had hellos and goodbyes to a couple hundred people. It was blissful and satisfying for this people person. And quite a number of them were chatty too!

Ha! That type of headline and his appointed judges turning him away left and right are quite the delight. I honestly didn't think he could act like such a fool of a sore loser though. I don't know whether he says all these ridiculous things because he thinks his cult likes to hear it or if he is in such a bubble he believes it. I think the former. It is likely he thought his judges would be "loyal". Can't fire lifetime appointments, dude.
I am losing the battle of making my PC to recognize the new webcam (or truly, almost any other usb I'm trying to connect). How's your Saturday going?
Oh no! People need to see your beautiful face. I know it sounds silly, but with the USB it might help to remove the power cord completely and wait 30 seconds then plug it in again. Disconnecting the cord completely sometimes gives a more complete reset that can help with detecting devices again. We have to do this with our scanners sometimes.
Yeah, that ain't it - the laptop wasn't connected to a power cord when I tried this. I already tried half of the methods here: [link] and right now taking a break for food and for stop restarting my computer every 5 minutes.
Technology, meh.
Mom called to this morning to tell me her cousin's husband passed away (he's been sick for a long time so this wasn't a shock), and that Stepdad's uncle has Covid-19, along with several other people at his independent living.
Oh dear, sj. That is concerning.
Shir, maybe since it is a laptop removing the battery for a complete reset might help? Yeah, technology is too often very annoying.
Not even noon yet, but the day has been a mixed bag. I did manage to get out for my walk around 7, then decided I would tackle my living room to prepare to put up the tree. Took down the curtains that get dog nose nasty from him pushing them aside to look out the window. Tackling the end tables, the annoying list.
The highlight was picking a random YouTube playlist of "Top 100 Music Videos". Fun to watch a variety, Missy Elliot, Talking Heads, Prince, never know what is coming next. I may be dancing around the living room more than cleaning.
The worst time was deciding to fill my water cup. People with ice makers know that thing where an ice cube randomly ends up on the kitchen floor. Well, little puddle plus tile floor plus plastic sandals equal Laura falling spectacularly hard, glass and ice cubes all over. I am absolutely fine, but I'll expect to see an impressive bruise on my forearm and thigh.
So, I figure I have to keep dancing around the living room to keep from getting stiff. And Dire Straits are now singing Money for Nothing. Picture Laura dancing like a complete dork!
Oh, ow, Laura! Glad you're OK.
