I paid almost no attention to the recent elections in the USA. Both 'major' candidates make me ill, and I will do my best to pay NO attention to Trump, just as I did in the past, ohh, 30 years. As for the Dems, and Kamala, they'll get no real support from me, just a shrug of 'eh' about whatever they do. Yes, they might do some 'good' things, I guess. It'll be by accident, or as a way to manipulate people or give their donors something they wanted that the populace likes too. With the Dem leadership as it stands now, they surely won't do anything good for the working class. Sounds kinda like they were before FDR took over and read the writing on the wall.
A couple of weeks or so ago I read this poem, called McGenocide, by Caitlin Johnstone (Snoopydawg also posted the poem here, on this site). It really hit me hard, maybe because of reading the book, Bringing Mulligan Home, about the man trying to find out why his father (who fought on Okinawa in WWII) was like he was.
Something good: A rose from our garden. Yes, it's flowering NOW, the pic was taken a few days ago. Admittedly, we haven't gotten below freezing this fall, yet. And usually we do that in mid September. A couple nights ago we hit 33 as the low, but... that ain't below freezing yet!
There's got to be a mourning after
Here we are at election day. Have fielded numerous calls from so many people I don't know.
I haven't a clue how they get my phone number. Most want me to just vote, but some prefer my vote goes either here or there.
Family is split between Trump and Harris. None but me have decided on Stein.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that Trump's 'America First' media company has been busy offshoring jobs to Mexico.
Afternoon folks!
Last week, orlbucfan asked if i would put together a deadhead feature, possibly in honor of Phil Lesh, the Dead's bass player who recently passed. So, thinking about it, I figured that I'd come up with a video to get the ball rolling and let other folks contribute their favorite stuff.
