He (you know who I'm referring to) is one sick prick.

I agree. I'll take it a step further and say our Democracy and personal freedoms are not just being threatened, they're being trampled on daily.

I'm looking out my library window at a bewildered deer and the first snowfall of the season in McGregor, IA. There may be a total accumulation of 12 inches before it is over.

This is my plan as well. I'm just going to relax and wait for the snow.

A circus wagon! That's what the Oval Office reminds me of, in more than one way. In keeping with the circus theme, the background color must be changed to red. Send in the clowns...

Look into those eyes, if you can. There is nothing in there.

I was using the free version of Spotify. I did stop using it and deleted the app. They can't sell ads it there is no one to hear them.

I must share this one. I'm not sure which is more horrifying, the body or the head - probably the head. Happy Halloween!

I didn't, I enjoyed the solitude. That is probably weirder.

Like most Republicans, the congressman from Missouri is severely uninformed, or as we say in the Midwest, full of shit. I can assure him that the rally I attended was full of hardworking people of all ages and income levels. Oh, and Soros paid none of us.
