I could only watch about wo minutes of the debate because Jaydine did nothing but LIE....none of the things he said last night are things he and the other grifter have said during their rallies or interviews.....sometimes just the opposite.

TOD.

Die Hard
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Both performances were Oscar-worthy yet neither got him a nomination.

I wonder if he can convince Trump to use his guyliner.

Just FYI:

The U.S., under Biden, has the highest output in oil production in the world.

The stock market has never been as high.

Unemployment is the lowest it has been in decades.

For Jewish people already back in the office, today is the workday affectionately nicknamed "Rush-a Home-a" - when you "rush home" from work early to be home in time to be ready for Rosh Hashanah beginning at sundown.

My favorite gas station was open.  Cash only with a $30 limit per car.

Filled mine up with a $20!  No long lines, but very busy nonetheless.

To restrict to a $30 limit, you have to go in and pay the cashier.

I had an odd memory today as I was eating my hot lunch and watching TV:

Friday afternoon, as folks were posting to Facebook about damage and power outages, etc., one lady asked if anyone knew when the power would come back because she had to plan for when to serve her family supper.  Her naivete touched me more deeply than I realized.

The most hopeful reply was that it would take a week, maybe two.

Many folks have had power restored, but very rural areas are still dark with another few days to a week or more to wait out.

This was on CNN.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/02/entertainment/john-amos-death-daughter/index.html


"Actor John Amos died in August, but his daughter has revealed she only learned about it when his passing was reported by the media on October 1.

Shannon Amos paid tribute to her late father in a video shared on Instagram that showed the two dancing to the song “Dance with My Father” by Luther Vandross.

“I am without words…Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my Dad, John Allen Amos, Jr., transitioned on August 21st,” Shannon Amos wrote in the caption. “We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, learning about it through the media like so many of you.” "
