I'll be looking for circles when I get a-round to it. (Sorry)

I completely forgot to mention that of course Basil is a good boy. You can tell that just by looking at him. Nose boop to you, Basil, you cutie patootie.

Another circle song, this time from the Sons of Freedom.

I'd almost forgotten about the Satanic panic over D&D. One of my friends is the writer who originated the D&D setting "Forgotten Realms" and the wizard Elminster. He tried in vain to teach D&D to me and some of our co-workers, but I guess we just weren't Satanic enough.

Circles? As in power circles, in Paris?

When I saw that Carman had a wicker trash can in his front yard I was too confused to watch the rest.

Gotta mention Disfunctional Family Circus. Alas, it's gone due to threats of lawsuits but archive.org has some of the early ones:

Both sides now by Joni Mitchell bringing Coda flashbacks where I’m biting my tongue not to cry like a baby in public

Carman’s big hit was called “The Champion” where Jesus and Satan box, Rocky-style.

For the race to be tied in PA, polls are assuming the electorate will be 95% white. That's how far fucked yup the polls are to make the horse race.

I predict Kamala +30 in PA.

Everyone breathe.

I'll breathe when I'm dead!

Yep. They are just dropping all of Philly out of the LV screen. Look at how the betting markets are collapsing towards Harris. Dems don’t manipulate markets like that. Those are reps knowing what’s up.

Ta, Robyn. Can't bitch about Joni Mitchell; I love her unconditionally. Don't think I'll ruin that mood by watching the other two. Darling husband Meccalopolis and I have had first breakfast and tea; second breakfast and coffee will come later. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, grace, and a huge Harris-Walz win.

Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot when due, avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends on this Día de los Muertos, like Treg who should not have had to join the 27 club, and Tony, Holly's hero pilot friend, among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe, and GOTV and VOTE!

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛
