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.

Thanks for the update, DR Jennifer. I find it interesting to see how the pandemic is affecting people throughout the world. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, though.

DR Freddie, you've been on my mind and it's nice to see you here again.

Same here, Freddie. Welcome home.

I saw Cloris Leachman play PECUNIARY in Show Boat.

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?

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.

We have to in Texas.

Yes, your governor was quite a jerk over that one, if you don't mind me saying so.

It's a lovely California day today--blue skies and 75 degrees. Really nice out this morning.

Bruce, I'm glad you finally got some sleep. I find I need to wind down in the evening if I want to sleep well.

California is usually very on top of it when it comes to the elections. I read that they sent out the ballots this past Monday, but I haven't received it. (No surprise.) I usually vote by mail, but may vote in person this time because I don't want anyone invalidating my vote because it's a mail-in ballot.

I don’t. Jerk is a much more polite term for what he really is.

Latest Safari has screwed up Facebook stuff - when you respond to someone it doesn't tag them anymore - works fine in Chrome. But worst of all, for me, is when you start to type in a site you've used all the time in the address bar it isn't filling it in automatically, which it's always done before - that is completely annoying.

You could have requested an absentee ballot.

Been working away but nothing too strenuous. Don't think there's any reason to go to the mail place.

I think the first half hour of this movie may be the finest movie musical ever. Make Believe, Ol' Man River, Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man, the direction, the performances.

John G. · « **Reply #143 on:** October 07, 2020, 06:45:36 PM »

I also just read the booklet accompanying the disc. May be the worst essay on Show Boat I've ever read. What does Fannie Hurst have to do with the movie? Nothing, and most of the essay doesn't have anything to do with anything, either.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** October 07, 2020, 06:50:34 PM »

I love the music in Showboat but much prefer the novel.

Very funny. You can now get a face mask like the curtains in Sound of Music.

I'm watching the debate while working and I just noticed that Pence had a fly in his hair for a little bit.

It's gone now.

Can't bring myself to watch it.

Laura · « **Reply #148 on:** October 07, 2020, 07:35:40 PM »

I got a BINGO.

Also, I should have chosen a different word.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** October 07, 2020, 07:35:53 PM »

It's over. I did listen to it more than actually watch it. Pence much more often kept talking after the end of his time than Harris did. I don't think he said anything that we didn't already know, so I really feel that she came out much better than he did. Just my 2¢.
