A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer.


The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here."


I'll be here all night...

Good Morning!  I have watched the new Randy Rainbow segment with Ms. LuPone.  It's quite clever.  I am still not a fan of Ms. LuPone, and that's all I'm saying about THAT.

Things are good in school at the moment.  5th grade invades campus at 12:00 (or 12:30, can't remember) which will be the next class on campus.  Very exciting for that.  We continue to tweak our tech setups, etc as there are still a few kids in each grade that have chosen to remain home.  Sorta helps us keep our cohorts small, which is good.

I am so looking forward to tonight's debate.  I hope Harris wipes up the floor with prissy li'l Missy Pence.

Ditto and, um, ditto. ::)

The Covita video has landed. It’s not Randy Rainbow level, but it makes its point:

I just heard from the Philly Pops, so I guess I must get to work.

Just received my absentee ballot!

I'd been putting off requesting it, and I finally dropped the request off at our town hall last Friday. I shall have it ready to take back down there to deposit in the lockbox by tomorrow.

I’m going to brace the polls next Wednesday. I had most of the afternoon off, so since we get 4 hours to votes, I figured, why not?

Thanks, everyone.....even though the newspaper left out the second "e" in the last name......it was a small town.

George & Jim had just gotten their jobs on the tree farm a few months before.  George had purchased a car and had also just become engaged to his girlfriend Opal.

She married a few years later to a young man who went into the service for WWII.  She didn't want him to go.  He enlisted anyway and she divorced him.  She married twice more but never had any children....and died in the 1980's......the internet has a lot of useful information.......

He died the next day.

His twin brother Jim who also worked there, told my dad who was nine at the time - that the tree had started to fall on him and that George ran over and pushed him out of the way.....and got the worst of it....

Oh, my goodness! :(

Brilliant, as usual!

That was great.  I know Patti tweeted  “I still have the lung power and I wore less makeup. This revival is closing 3 November.”  Did she also sing the Lincoln Project parody?

We are in lockdown again due to covid.  Schools are still open (high schools and elementary). But now my niece in grade 10 only goes to school every second day. And masks are mandatory.

Stores are still open. But restaurants are closed for 1 month. And no social gatherings or visiting other people's homes. And sports are cut for 1 month.

How did your niece get so old ;)

I am sorry you are back in lock down.  Is it related to schools having reopened?  Is your younger niece still attending in school classses?

No, that's not Patti's voice.  I don't recognize who it is.

That's great.  Our son wants to return to the classroom.  He works twice as hard and long now, basically sitting in front of the computer for up to 12 hours, and feels he accomplishes far less with the students.  I am sure it would be more rewarding if more students participated.

I'm up, I'm up - I did manage to force quite everything and I think I fell asleep in about two minutes flat - and here I am, nine and a half hours later.  The phone rang about six times at nine, but nothing was going to make me get up and I fell right back asleep.

Craig said he will also go to the polls.  I am not sure what will happen if the lines are long as he needs to be at his computer/work.

Divorced him, wow.  It makes me wonder if she never got over losing George.

Thanks.  Having seen the tweet prior to the video I thought she might have done it, but then it didn't sound like her.
