Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #31 on:** November 07, 2024, 05:36:34 AM »

I feel like a truck ran over me.

Of course, there are many good reasons to feel that this week.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #32 on:** November 07, 2024, 05:36:52 AM »

Am quite figuratively numb.

My thoughts are muddled and adrift about our future as a democracy.

Trump got as many votes this time as he did last time.

Kamala got about 14 million fewer votes than Biden did last time.

Why would that many people NOT vote?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2024, 05:36:59 AM »

At least we're done with rehearsals till Sunday evening. That is a blessing.

EM as DR JANE surmised is Elon Musk.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #35 on:** November 07, 2024, 06:07:19 AM »

Thursday. The sun is shining.

I feel a bit better today - but still not top drawer as little Glory would say.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #36 on:** November 07, 2024, 06:08:55 AM »

TOD:

Many already mentioned and:

Ellery Queen.

But my two favorites are:

Hercule Poirot
Sherlock Holmes

And just for fun Honey West, although she was a PI.

That puts the numbers in a very interesting light, Ron.

Morning.

I will be heading off to California in a bit. A few months ago, when this trip was planned, we were worried there would be widespread rioting going on. I figured that California would be safe, though.

Yes it does. I keep telling myself it can't be a case of voter suppression or deliberate elimination of votes.

DR Laura is seeing the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet!

Wait. It IS a Chevrolet, isn't it?

Isn't it??

BTW, the reason some people get that error message when trying to connect, is because they've never made the site secure. That will change in the next day or two - it's $75 a year, but will be worth it.

This explains the warning I get every time I post my phone. I always have to tap on "send anyway" in order to post.

DR George, a few times I have found it a bit difficult to open the larger mailbox. Fortunately I have never needed more than a couple of tries before getting it open.

Did you watch the wonderful Jimmy Kimmel opening monologue last night? The last bit is street interviews asking people if they plan to vote today, Nov 6th.

I think it still is. Have a safe trip and easy travels.

Did we ever find out from JRand what "EM" stands for?

Elon Musk from X.

TOD: Spenser. I've read all the novels; never watched the TV show. Having lived in Boston for many years I've enjoyed the settings there.

MichaelG · « **Reply #52 on:** November 07, 2024, 11:18:09 AM »

After Robert Parker died they continued his different detective series with different writers. Some series didn't do too well but Ace Atkins and Mike Lupica have done well carrying on the Spenser series.

I am such a masochist! I discovered that Mark Longo's wife Daniela has been posting on TilkTok videos of her and the murdered Fred the raccoon. He was only a couple of months old when they killed him, and he is so adorable in the videos!

When I was in grad school, my friend Joyce had a pet raccoon. It was so cute, but it used to chase me around biting my ankles.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** November 07, 2024, 01:19:36 PM »

My mom and her brother and parents had a squirrel as a pet when she was a kid. They were living in Morgantown, WV.

Seems like there was a snapshot of the squirrel. I don't think I have it here, but I'll look.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** November 07, 2024, 01:23:40 PM »

Oh man, those videos are a killer.
