...a vision of my future. Synchronicity, at least in a symbolic way.

...so far living on the good graces of family and a few friends, mostly due to Ms. So's stock of good will. We'll see what happens. Living like a refugee, apropos. Still in the shock phase.

some silly news coming from the Biden clown show
in the form of a 'sternly' worded leak to Nutty yahoo
to allow more Humanitarian aid in to Gaza or risk losing
military aid.

This is the second 'warning' and puts a deadline in 30
days (in other words after the elections). What a crock.
How many more will starve in a month?

A chilly 42F this AM. Fall has arrived, but it is back in the 80's next week. Don't like the Alabama weather? Wait 15 minutes.

Have the sweet potatoes under covers to get a couple more weeks of growth before we dig them. Last evening was cloudy, but this evening we're headed to the West brow of the mountain to see the comet.

You can see it by looking west at sunset. Binoculars make it better.

Thanks for the OT!
