Looks like Trump taught that bear his dance moves. I hope your friend wasn’t injured too badly when she ran into the railing. Did anyone come over to help her?0

She thinks all she did was an easily replaced break in the headlight. Her neighbor has offered to check it out. She worries me but I can't fault anyone's independence. She says about all she's doing is going to p/t 3 days a week. Their goal is to get her walking without crutches.0 -
Before Monday, around 880,000 Marylanders had cast their ballots during early in-person voting, while 1.6 million Marylanders requested mail-in ballots. Of those, 1.3 million have been returned. Almost 90,000 people voted today. That's 2.27 million give or take. There's at least another week for mail-in ballots to be received and of course in person voting tonight yet and tomorrow.
That's a LOT of people! But there are least 4 million registered voters in Maryland so we have a ways to go!

In Texas more people have voted early than the total number of votes cast in 2016, and I don’t think that even includes all of the mailed in ballots. I’m hopeful that this means Democratic voters have been energized and represent the bulk of those votes. Typically in Texas Democrats tend to vote early while republicans vote on Election Day, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. They will start counting all of the early and mailed in ballots as of 7:00 AM, so we might have an idea pretty early tomorrow evening which way the votes went. I don’t think anything will be reported until after the polls close, however.0

I just read that the Republican politicians in TX looking to throw out drive thru votes lost. Yea!0

No, different one.

I'm trying to distract myself with work and "other".
From Reader's Digest (paraphrased slightly).
Dust to dust. Ashes to ashes.
That's why I don't dust.
It might have been someone I knew.0 -
Maryanne, my mother always hated dusting, as do I and my sister. She used to say “Dust will keep forever, if you don’t get it wet” to justify not dusting very often.0

I love organizing. I love decluttering. Both of those have results that last.
Cleaning? Not so much.0 -

Well, Halloween's packed up - that went fast. Thanksgiving decorations are out. I still don't have a turkey, though.0

I am extremely disheartened. Never been so disappointed in my fellow Americans.0

In the congressional district I live in, Kweisi Mfume raised $160,000. His Republican challenger (who doesn't even live in this district and had a campaign photo that could have graced a trashy novel and even her own campaign bus) raised $6 million (from out of state of course). She got 27% of the vote. Money doesn't buy what it used to......thank goodness!
Yep, I'm being a little catty today. But yesterday I had to follow that dang bus, with this huge busty photo of her, way too far in Baltimore before I could pass.0 -
I’m disappointed but not surprised that Texas didn’t turn blue. I’ve been watching the coverage all morning and feeling somewhat encouraged for Joe’s chances. I am worried that tRump will find a way to get a court challenge to the Supreme Court, where he and Moscow Mitch have guaranteed his chances. I am very disappointed that McConnell and Miss Lindsay were re-elected.0

A Biden presidency with a republican senate means at least 2 more years of not much getting done. Of course Biden could replace all the no nothing department heads, undo the damage to the environment regulations, things like that, so it wouldn't all be for naught.0
-
I wonder if some republican senators would be more willing to work toward compromise under Biden than they were under the current administration? I know it’s a reach, but I can hope and/or dream.0

They do all seem to have fallen into a nether world where the cheeto ruled and insanity prevailed. Maybe some would come back to the real world. I hope we get to find out because the alternative is 4 more years of the cheeto.
There's SO much I don't get.
I don't get, e.g. how any parent voted for the cheeto. I'm not at all convinced the climate crisis can wait 4 more years. Don't parents care about whether there's a world here for their kids?
I don't get how anyone can forgive the cheeto's sheer cruelty and want to see it inflicted for 4 more years.
And I could go on but I'm beating a dead horse at this point.

Despite President Donald Trump’s brazen negligence in handling the coronavirus, the president actually performed better this year than he did in 2016 in counties with high COVID-19 death rates, according to an internal analysis from Reuters.0

I watch a it of election results Tuesday night. I switched to Christmas movies because the alternative was too stressful. I started watching at 5 tonight. I’m heartened that Biden is leading but I won’t relax until it’s over. I’m disappointed about the Senate especially McConnell and Graham winning. One Senate seat in GA will be a January runoff because nobody got 50% of the vote. Perdue is just above 50% but if he drops below 50, that seat could be a runoff too. I’m hoping Biden will be able to work with some of the moderate Republicans if Trump is gone. I think many of them were afraid to cross Trump because of retaliation.0

A lot of truly depressing op-ed pieces in the Post and the Times today.
I've actually been watching Christmas movies. Partly because we haven't seen the fall premiere yet of a lot of shows and partly because they don't take much concentration.
I called the Giant tonight and talked to the meat department. She told me their turkeys were to have come in 3 days ago. Maybe I'll go over in the dark of night early next week and check.
I SO wanted Lindsay Graham gone. What a terrible excuse for a human being.
If those paragraphs don't give you the idea that my thoughts are disjointed........LOL!

I felt the same way bout Graham. I’m also thinking I wonder if those who didn’t vote have any regrets with the margins so razor thin? Unless they were seriously ill, I wonder what excuse they told themselves that justified not voting.0

I'm not a huge fan of our governor (didn't vote for him either time) but even I have to admit he did a decent job on the coronavirus (except for the election decision).
His latest that I can't quibble with:
GOP Governor Calls Trump’s Premature Victory Remarks ‘A Terrible Mistake’
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said the president’s false declaration that he’d won was “outrageous and uncalled for.”
Would be funny if he and Trump both tried to get the 2024 nomination. Please heaven the cheeto will be in jail and bankrupt by 2024.0
