Turning the Corner
Welcome to mid-autumn and standard time. Most folks are aware of the two equinox and solstices as being the seasonal changes, but few are aware of the mid-points of each season. Halloween, All Saints Day (which is today), and the Day of the Dead (tomorrow) are markers of fall's mid-season (also called Samhain).
It is Celtic New Year’s Eve and the final harvest. It’s when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is the thinnest and when pagans believe spirits easiest roam the earth and when it is easiest to communicate with them. It is a time to honor all those who have come before, for all that was gifted to us during the year, to ask for guidance, and to set intentions as the turning of the wheel begins again.
Groundhogs day, May 1st (May day), and the Dog days are the other mid-season markers. The days continue getting shorter, and it will be nice to have light earlier. Changing between standard and DST is a bad idea for several reasons, but it seems we're stuck with it. This is the week we've been waiting for...the election will be over by this time next week (I hope), and neither outcome bodes well (in my book). Hang on for what may be a rocky ride.

America's Top Four Narco States
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 10/31/2020 - 2:09amThere are narco states in addition to the ones I'm going to list.
I'm just listing the biggest U.S. taxpayer supported narco states.
Afghanistan
Any discussion of narco states that doesn't include the biggest narco state in all of history - Afghanistan - is not a real discussion. This was six years ago.
Glenn Greenwald gets to Brass Tacks: Biden, Ukraine, War, Loan Guarantees
Submitted by Linda Wood on Fri, 10/30/2020 - 7:12pmGlenn Greenwald's article censored by The Intercept is the best and most comprehensive work on the Biden controversy. I hope everyone here can take the time to read it because we will need this insight to cope with whatever happens next week and going forward.
The most important part of it, I think, is Greenwald's focus on Biden's dealing in a $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine. I have emphasized his strongest point with bold type, below.
