El



eanor.

Trying to hold on to hope.

Not, let's be clear, in a vote for HRC. I am acutely aware of her deficits. But for the SCOTUS.

Having a Dem in the ADMINISTRATIVE elective position, means a liberal, justice-oriented, supreme court for a generation. Whatever she is, is secondary to that. Really. Let's keep an eye on the long game.

Reading Notorious RBG, and our beloved Ruth Bader Ginsberg.



Got proposed to. By a rather flamboyant gay man at the wine store*. I had to disabuse him of my unmarried status, since I've been married ˜25 years. He wanted to marry if we were both 35 and unmarried. I did not add that 35 was long ago for me. Still, nice to be flirted with, even in such an utterly safe manner.

Vote for a progressive Supreme Court, if nothing else. If you can vote in this election. If not, well, some of you, I know, are believers. So, well, I figure prayer certainly can't hurt. I'm looking at some of you Brits and Canadians, as well as Brit ex-pats. Not that I think god has done very well in politics, but give it a go, ok?

Ok, go back and focus on the cute kitty. Or, this.

*They also have beer. Which is all I am interested in. I really don't like wine.

Already voted, and in my state, Montana, I'd like to say I made a difference. Alas, we're the bottom feeders for social awareness.
Cheers,
Mike

Podride is cool. I think I need a cute village (snowpack is optional) to ride it in. I wouldn't want to be next to cars (or trucks!) in it.
I've decided my worrying is over and I'm working to point my attention elsewhere. That's all this election gets from me.

Plenty of bike paths here and I'd rather like a test ride in a bike pod , though there does seem to be an awful lot of clicking , popping and zipping in the way of setting it up before you actually get going .
There was a new 'artisan' beer in a cafe today , called Butcher's Tears ... I stuck to a red wine .

Eleanor is a beautiful cat. I might propose to her!

Mike,
Hey, here in Utah, my vote might count this year! It's a bit off a toss up. Mormons really aren't pro-Rudeasshole.

pc,
Well, a Volvo should make it.

Nimble,
I really should cut the newsfeed. Quite right. Good for the sanity.

S&S,
Sounds interesting to me, but, oh, um.

Cat,
She'd certainly walk all over you.
