I thought they were not allowed to open the ballots until Election Day.....how would they know something was wrong?

I thought it was from the envelope. Otherwise I have no clue.

Today is day four since we dropped off our ballots. I hope, as expected, we will have confirmation of them.

I see there’s a free ASMAC web thing tomorrow on Robert Russell Bennett that includes Bruce Pomahac and Jonathan Tunick.

I saw that, too. Sadly, Bruce no longer regards me as a friend.

I'm sorry if I'm forgetting something you've told about, but this is shocking to hear.

It was my fault. I've tried to make amends, but . . .

I am thrilled with the arrival of my new toy: a set of bamboo toast tongs. It has a built-in magnet so I can keep them handy near the toaster.

No more burnt fingers!

It's the little things that bring joy during this pandemic!

I awoke to an allergy day. Not a horrible one so far.

I have had far fewer allergy days since working from home.

Maybe your work needs to install an air filter.

Last night I thought CNN fact checker Daniel Dale's comment was brilliant. “With Trump you’re like the ‘I Love Lucy’ episode in the chocolate factory. You don’t know which [lie] to pick up because there’s just so much.”

That's why I made the mini-cheesecakes. These didn't turn out quite right, though. I had one and it was kind of spongy, not dense and firm the way they should be. $:-\$ Oh, well. It tasted good, just not exactly the right texture. They will, of course, firm up after being in the fridge all night, but still, they won't be the same as when they're the way they're supposed to be.

Put 'em back the way they wuz!

Next time! These will get eaten!

I hear your, DR elmore3003. I am just back from schlepping all the recycling to our building's basement. I have to do it very early on Friday morning; otherwise, the bins are full for the next week.

I can dump stuff today but by tomorrow the place will be overloaded until Monday morning.

My condo has dumpsters right out back of my building. The garbage and recycling get picked up on Mondays and Thursdays. When I have trash and recyclables to take out, I usually take them out on Tuesdays and Saturdays when the dumpsters are practically empty, then I don't have to worry about them being filled. The garbage dumpster can get filled in the two days before the pick-up.

Fortunately, the dumpsters behind my building aren't the only dumpsters in the condo complex. If one is filled, I can put my stuff in another one. Of course, they all do get emptied on the same day, but not all of them fill at the same rate, so there's that.

Margita's friend Laura, and Judy's two adult daughters will also be there tonight. I hope no one's infected with Covid! Of course, if anyone would be showing symptoms, they wouldn't be there. But there's no way to know if they're positive but asymptomatic. I'm bringing my mask, just in case.

I hope you mean you will be WEARING your mask, AND I hope they will be wearing their masks.

Umm...yeah, sure. That's what I meant to say.

Ditto to George's last two posts I didn't comment on earlier.

Our trash and recycling is in our garage. The person who takes it all combines the bins and leaves one trash and one recycling bin so we no longer go down only to remember it is trash day.

I wish to hell the refrigerator would show up.

Good Morning.

Currently listening to "Alabama", great music.

I'm technically done with teaching today, but I have some things to catch up on before I call it a day. A few of us will be heading to a Happy Hour later, so that's exciting.

Other than that, everything seems ok today.

The new Italian film of Martin Eden is streaming through the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. The Jack London novel was depressing, but two reviews I read are calling this one of the best films of the year. Is it worth the $12?

I don't know. But Martin Eden is no Martin Guerre.

The company has "trucking problems." If they do not show today, they will show up in the morning. Goddammit.

I/m up, I'm up - eight hours of erratic sleep. Didn't get to bed until after five for various reasons. At 9:20 the doorbell rang - tree trimmers asking me to move my car - Grant neglected to tell me they were coming. Fell back asleep pretty quickly, woke up at 11:30, fell back asleep and now I'm up and the day is basically done.

So, I asked Alexa to play "They Call the Wind Maria" and, sure enough, she pronounced it like "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."

You can't make these things up.

I named my black cat Maria for the song.
