BTW, just because you don’t get up early like SD and I doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t vote early. Find a convenient voting location, it doesn’t have to be your own precinct like on election day, take your DL and your registration card, and go vote. It won’t get any easier later on than it is right now, and this… Read more »

#83 – Yes, they replaced a 55 year old rubber gasket in their fittings without disturbing my connection, or at least it look OK. I left it uncovered for a couple of days to make sure no leaks, and covering it back up is on my todo list. Senatorette Hiro Hito knows how to use science to get to the… Read more »

Top o the morn to you Dave. And the rest as well. No news of any import that I’m aware of floating around out here. May go chop a little bee brush today. Miscellaneous other chores to take care of. Hope that each and every one of you have a great day out there today. More later as it develops.

Late again today to catch up on the day’s Hamster news. Sounds as though we’ve all had an interesting day, and the notes on election site experiences has to be helpful to the rest of us who haven’t voted yet.

G’night all.

Very sentimental story, yet sweet as can be. A friend posted it w/o a source cited. At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to… Read more »

75. SD I’m sure it will be renamed soon but there’s still a stretch of the Dixie Highway in Cincinnati. There are also long stretches of the old road along the east coast of Florida that generally parallels US 1, although I don’t think much of it is still brick. Growing up, my paternal grandparents lived in Campbell Station outside… Read more »

#61 Hamous that is too cool, I’ve heard of the Dixie Highway but I’ve never seen it. Have you seen old US 90 in Milton Florida, north of Pensacola? They still have a small stretch of brick road just north of the highway.

LOL. I think Carlson reads Hambone. He just referred to Hirono as someone “many people believe is the dullest person in the history of the senate.”

I also went to Walmart today, mostly stocking up on cat food for our furry family. Something happened there today but I can’t remember now what it was. I got home, put things away, wrote a short post, then started to work on something. Later, I noticed I didn’t see my post, so I guess I didn’t post it after… Read more »

Okay, before my more serious item – I just saw a hilarious speech decoding on the TV. Chris Salcedo was signing off his show and the speech-to-text captions showed “The Gristle Sailor Show”.

When Republicans take back the House, congress should immediately strip FB et al of any legal protections. They are blatantly interfering with the election. I mostly always try to stay away from politics on FB, but just as a test I shared your post there to see if it gets removed.  I have yet to have something taken down /… Read more »

A small stretch of the Old Dixie Highway in St. Johns and Flagler Counties.

Many of the highway’s red bricks are debossed with the words GRAVES B’HAMALA. It’s the maker’s mark of bricks that were produced by the Graves Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama.

An informal survey of my neighbors, which are now 50/50 honkey/Hispanic, indicates 100% of honkeys are voting for Gropey and 100% of Hispanics are voting for Trump.

The guy whose mama is askeered of the rona (so you need to vote for him) says in his commercials he “served overseas for 14 years”, an implication the he served in the armed forces. In truth, he was a foreign service officer, essentially a small diplomatic cog in the massive deep state wheel.

So what’s our cute little County Judge-ette have to say these days about the restrictions on everything?

All the surrounding counties are opening bars in accordance with Hotwheels guidelines. Not Dora.

A couple of days ago I posted the article from The Federalist which was a link to the CDC report of a study which clearly showed 70% of people who say they wear masks all the time caught the rona. FB flagged my post as false information.

and not sure if I’d have to be in a 6-ft-apart line outside is daunting.

Apparently to Dora, 12 ft is the new six ft. They had decals on the concrete outside and floor inside spaced ridiculously far apart.

I always thought absentee ballot drop boxes were all over the place. They were easy to find because they were big, heavy, blue steel boxes that said “US Mail” all over them.

The mail-in vote system Cluster-Eff in California really needs federal intervention. It. Is. That. Bad. Duplicate or even quadruplicate ballots, dead people receiving ballots 10 years after their demise, incorrect ballots, etc. California was highly unlikely to go R for POTUS anyway, but this is ridiculous. The system is so corrupted that the electors from CA should not be seated… Read more »
