I heard on IPR of NPR in Iowa, say that the states picked their own songs for the roll call.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Interesting choice for Tim W;s music. Keep on Rocking in the free world.

Yeah. But he walked out to "Small Town" by Mellencamp, which I loved.
I wonder if Bruce will show up this year? Seems like the zeitgeist has moved past having Springsteen at your rally.
I am finding myself hopeful these days. Makes it easier to sleep. But it is weird to think about being 2 degrees from POTUS. If it happens, which I hope it does.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Remember the zoom roll call from 2020? They took the necessity of doing it remotely and found a way for each state to express some personality. It was fantastic! This year's DJ party was a fun evolution from that (We won't go back!).

Our wings are not tired.
Tim Walz is such a delightful choice. I knew absolutely nothing about him prior to the pick, but having spent the last few decades around coaches it seems I have known him forever. I will be able to sleep at night with Kamala and Tim in control. They make a brilliant contrast. Some kids will still say both sides are the same, but even my son and his girlfriend came out to watch his speech and none of the others. They love him.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
[ETA: I do nothing to counter the stereotype the GenX abuses the fuck out of the ellipsis, huh?

no moose sightings yet despite all the signs that claim they may be crossing.
Are you near Rangeley Lakes or the Carabasset Valley? They roam more in Winter. We spend our whole summer in mid-coast Maine these days, but "vacation" on the interior lakes. The moose are not friendly, so you don't really want to see one.
Greetings, all. I have been a super lurker all over the internet because real life needed my attention. It may again as the kid goes back to high school on Monday with car pool needs. Husband and dog are staying in Maine for a couple more weeks, just because it's beautiful and they can.

Volunteering at the convention yesterday was super fun. I couldn’t hear much of the speeches so I’ll catch up on those. But I did get to watch John Legend, Stevie Wonder and Maren Whosit rehearsing.
The Minnesota delegation was out on the floor chanting and cheering for literally 30 minutes after the end. They were fired up!
ETA: I how to replace my birth certificate recently, and it was super easy. All online these days and I got it in like two weeks. (It would be faster if they didn’t have to dig *quite* so far into the archives.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Does everybody know where their birth certificate is? And their passport? And all their other certifications? (Marriage license, death certificate, deed to your house?).
Hahahaha. It took me weeks to find old expired passports, then stumbled across my current one. I doing so realized my birth certificate was not in the file. Still haven’t found it. I’ve got all of Mac’s stuff though.
