Tons of compost
Submitted by earthling1 on Tue, 11/03/2026 - 10:09amGood morning everyone.
Well, it's election day today. I actually voted last Friday and took it to the post office.
Had about a dozen local initiatives and a couple of amendments to pour over. And a half dozen judicial races that had only one candidate. Can't see a reason to check the box when there is only one box.

The Times They Are A'changin', Again
One way you can tell this isn't a democracy is that 80+ percent of citizens do NOT want the time to change twice a year, but the merchants who own the politicians insist it remains. Today is All Saints Day, tomorrow is the Day of the Dead, followed by Election Day...sounds auspicious doesn't it? I wonder which political puppet zombies will terrorize us for the next couple of years. Last Sunday's elections in Brazil, Serbia, and Israel were interesting. Lula managed to survive, and Bolsonaro bolted with the help of his CIA patrons. Lula faces a divisive government. Student List won an outright majority in Serbia. Evidently lots of NGOs (think US AID and EU stink tanks) supported their cause. Let's hope they don't succumb to outside interest. Israel's election is still in limbo with the Nitwityahoo in the lead. Who knows what the US election will bring. Talk is a demoncratic sweep, but we'll see.
Album of the Week 10-31-26
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/31/2026 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
It's a kind of jazzy week. Starting off we've got an album from New Orleans saxophone master Sidney Bechet, followed by an album of piano instrumentals from r&b pianist Lloyd Glenn. From there it's back to New Orleans again for a late 70's album from Dr. John. Then we have a live album from Leon Redbone and an acoustic guitar album from jazz, blues and early rock guitarist Mickey Baker, kind of a departure from his usual fare. We finish up with an album from The Flamin' Groovies to make sure that your toes got some tapping exercise this weekend.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
