So, one of the laserdiscs that I recently bought on eBay was Harry Connick Jr.'s The New York Big Band Concert, but what I received was Harry Connick Jr.'s Swinging Out Live.  If I hadn't already purchased that from another eBay seller, I'd just keep it and call it good...especially since this incorrect item is new and sealed!  But, I figure that I should at least let the seller know and see what options they'll give me, if any.  If they just let me keep it, I'll keep it.  If they want it back, they'll have to pay for shipping.

Well, that was quick.  They seller said that they will refund my money and didn't say that I need to return it, so I have an extra copy. :) Now, I need to reorder the original title that I wanted.

That's nice.

If the numbers hold steady, Texas will surpass New Jersey as the state with the second highest number of covid-19 deaths today.

In fact, there are more deaths in my county than there are in all of Kentucky.

DR George, was your Harry Conick disc from an Amazon vendor?

No, it was from eBay.

I wore absolutely the wrong shirt to the ZOOM rehearsal last night.  I put on my virtual background.....and all that showed of me was my head and hands......

My blue eyes usually disappear too if I sit too close to the screen....

We need a video capture of that, DR Jrand70.

Also, think how embarrassing that would have been for the Invisible Man.

DR Jeanne, I agree with you.  Why would one's hatred for Kamala Harris. who certainly wasn't my first choice among Biden's options, cause them to vote for our international; disgrace, li'l Adolph?  With all these threats that he and the GOP want to eliminate Social Security and Medicare, which I depend on, I'd think anyone in our age group - or getting close to retirement age - would want Trump out of office.  Or dead.

Because of their ties with the police department.  They feel Harris is not a friend to them even though Biden has said he will not defund the police.   

Jeanne in August the LA Times had an article, which I can't open, "Union leader tells Republican convention why cops back Trump".

Fortunately I know people with ties to police departments who are voting for Biden.  They too are very unhappy with the word "Defund".  I don't blame them.

Very glad to read that DR Matthew is COVID negative.  That was a quick turnaround!

Bryan's hospital doesn't use the quick tests as they have too many false negatives.  I understand the reason to do those in this situation.  If exposed to the virus or having symptoms I would recommend getting the test with a longer turn around.

John & Druxy how big are your counties?

 Texas counties will each be limited to a single site for voters to drop off their mail ballots ahead of Election Day, under a proclamation issued by Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday.

Ginny it seems as if you only have one drop off spot in your county.

My county has one drop off location until October 16th and then it will have 20 locations.  But then we are a vote by mail state.

There's a drop-off box in the Tumwater Library parking lot, which is just about a block and a half from where I live.

That is super convenient.  Ours is a twelve minute drive.

If I sit here any longer I will eat.  I need to turn on music and do aerobics except we are texting with the kids.

One wonders...   does one play Bach, or Bachianas, in the Back house?

One plays Bach and the Bachianas back to back.

I got a good laugh out of this. I've seen articles on how to dress for Zoom meetings, but I did not appreciate how needed they were.
