We have had gobs of rain over the past day, and will continue through today, from Tropical Storm Nicole. I am well away from the storm's major impact, but the rains are still there, along with wind gusts.

We are expecting a wintry cold front to pass through in a day or so.

Oh, look. I made a new page.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #63 on:** November 11, 2022, 07:51:49 AM »

Am getting ready to go to post office.

I have been tempted, but not moved, to make a trip to Aiken SC for shopping purposes. Am looking for a specific cheese and know only one store there sells it.

And then there is Sam's Club where all my impulses go awry.

Liz Callaway's new Sondheim album is out today, too.

I had a very odd dream last night, likely inspired by recent video footage of Nicole's impact on Florida's east coast.

I was visiting someone and went to get my car. Oddly, there was a body of water and a road on which I had parked my car. The road was semi-flooded, and my car wasn't where I thought I left it.

I thought I could see it a way down the road and couldn't figure out how I mistakenly parked so far away. The closer I slogged along to get to my car, the further it seemed to be. Suddenly, I was at the car and it was not mine at all. Didn't even look like my car...which it had earlier appeared to be.

That begged the question of where my car actually was...and then I woke up.

Happily, my car is IN my garage and there is no local flooding.

I guess we are not going to see the sun today.

Chili is on the range on "low"......should be ready for tasting in a half hour or so.

I should have grokked that today is a federal holiday and that the postal office would be closed.

Still, I had an informative ride up the road.

The rule when a tropical storm is wreaking havoc on its fringes: If I go out to drive, rain wlll start coming down in sheets and the winds will blow and blow.

I walked to Staples and my lovely Muslim friend Fatima in their print shop scanned it for me. I have emailed the scan to London, so that's outr of my hair. By the time I left Staples, it was raining and my legs were shot, so I got a taxi home. I made the treacherous stairs in the lobby, got to my apartment, and discovered I had lost my cell phone. I called the number on my landline, and the taxi driver answered my phone. He told me he would be to my apartment in five minutes, so I had to get the walker, get out of the building and wait for him. I literally got from the sidewalk ro the street when he pulled up and handed me my phone.

Then I had to deal again with the lobby steps. There are five of them, and every time I have to climb them, I don't know if I can safely walk up them with the walker or if I need to go up on my hands and knees. They terrify me.

Yes, folks, Marjorie Taylor Greene's originally tweeted "quacking in their boots." I still find it hard to believe this Taylor Greene moron, who was clearly conceived at a family reunion, found so many people more stupid than she to vote for her.

I watched DON'T WORRY DARLING last night....another Harry Styles spectacular.

It's a neat Twilight Zone episode stretched out to two hours. But some of the performances and the art direction/costuming/music choices save the day.....

DR TCB I hope the pain patch is helping.

Given the number of stories I have read this week about Trump's rejection of any blame in election results, I think it's extremely hilarious and telling that he has ZERO capacity when it comes to "reading a room." Republicans are abandoning him from all directions, yet he still believes himself to be the center of the universe.

We shall see.

And replacing him with DeSantis?

I have an appointment at the local Walgreen's for my covid booster and flu shot today at 2:20 p.m.

I feel for you, DR Jrand72. We have not seen the sun here in at least 4 days.

Elmore’s favorite (NOT!) is drawing rave reviews.

I will be curious to hear the eventual recording.

The gaping maws shall soon be silenced.

That would make a great title of something-or-other.

Are many gaping maws vocal? Seems to me that if they were gaping, they wouldn’t be making too much noise.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** November 11, 2022, 10:15:50 AM »

Gape on.
