The Stephen Millers of the Trump Crime Syndicate act so smug/condescending when they say ‘Oh no! Trump will be sworn it 1/20/21.’ It is hard to stomach and hard to comprehend. They really believe there are enough assholes in elected office to toss the election results and hand another term to Trump. Hard to understand. Even more difficult to believe. I bet they think they would live through the upheaval that would come with Trump being installed dictator. Smug & condescending is no bearing on intelligence obviously.

I’m having a really hard time focusing on anything.
My son is very sweet and trying to reassure me. He told me that he brought his dog with him to the drive thru testing and it cheered everyone up. He said all the health care workers came over to pet the dog.
His boss better pray my son is negative because I am feeling very fucking drive to CT and break everything.

When she noted that today marks the end of the 2020 election, she breathed, “Thank God!” into the mic. It got a laugh.
She also noted that it was striking (or heart-warming, or something similar) how all of the women electors were taking photos of their VP ballot with their phones.

We were both masked, and I was wearing a latex glove on the hand I used to give her the bag but I’ve seen all those reports about how you can be 20 feet away from a masked carrier and still catch it. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Today’s dilemma: the moving van showed up with our definitely needed stuff, and none of them wore masks. I stayed in the open garage ticking off the numbered boxes and the front door and garage door were open the whole time with my husband and I outside. What are you going to do, tell them to not deliver your stuff? Crap, I hope none of them were positive.

@Ruckus: Based on the ones I know, 71 isn’t so old my friend. Novice monk equivalent maybe.

@MomSense: I’m so sorry. Here’s hoping for the best. And I know that dog was a delight—you have to feel for the folks doing testing; it’s got to be a stressful job, working with worried, upset people all day long, to say nothing of the risk they’re exposed to.

Yay yay yay for Mr. & Mrs. Ajabu, and for everyone else there standing up for their right to vote!
Sorry if my wording is totally leaden. Tough week at work. Don’t remind me it’s only Monday.
Anyhow, I am getting fundraising appeals from Terry Mac and others, but if I can send funds, it’s gotta be to Georgia.

@MomSense: YES.
Even if his boss doesn’t have the sense to pray
and clearly his boss lacks sense
some of the rest of us are
All best to that awesome kid of yours,
and to you needing to be able to function while you wait.

It isn’t a myth. I’ve seen it. I’ve shoveled it. I’ve scrapped it off my car windows. I’ve used a snow blower. I’ve passed out in the snow. And I was born in Los Angeles. Not just the county but the city. And all of those things has taught me one very valuable lesson. DON’T MOVE WHERE IT SNOWS. Hey at least I learned from the experience. Took a damn decade, OK it took a decade to move, I was pretty sure about the concept the third day after I’d arrived in snow country.

@lamh36: Hoping very hard for the best. You’re behind on cool trips with your family! I want you to get caught up and enjoy many more.

@Just Chuck: this sort of horror = having your foot amputated. And I’m not ignoring the accountability (or irony) of it, people sometimes do get what they deserve.

Right? Such a deal: we’re in mid-December and had our first soaker of the season over the weekend, something in years past that would have hit in October. Red flag warnings in December have never been a thing and yet, we had them last week.
Fingers crossed you get same in the Southland.
