Welp. Two frat boys stole three of our signs out of our yard. We have video cameras facing all directions. They’re clearly seen from every angle, as is their car. The cop was nice. I dunno if they’ll be caught, but word will get out that we have cameras, and I’m pretty sure they won’t do it again.

In the middle of very rural red Missouri, we had a great showing of Democrats supporting blue candidates from the top down for every position, even down to our local county administrator. I am fired up and proud to see folks so energized and motivated to speak out, stand up, and turn out to vote.

I want to do the things today, but nap has other plans for me.

Next week we take them the two big sets of good china, some furniture, and the big tv from the living room if possible. Basically, anything we can move ourselves. /2

Today we took the 3d tv, 3d dvd player, a bag full of 3d glasses, and a bag of 3d DVDs to the auction house, along with the older big iMac. We already took all the Tiffany lamps, two bedside tables, a lamp dad made, and a few other odds and ends that might be worth something. Last week we gave them dad’s guitar, mom’s ukulele, and electric keyboard, a set of china, and all those taxidermied ducks. /1

Dear dudebro leaning out your truck window to shout at me as I put out my political signs in my yard, first of all I can’t hear you over the glass packs on your muffler that you use to compensate for your own self-confidence issues, and second you’re on my 24/7 Ring cameras.

Today, I’m off to get postcards made up about local voting to send out to infrequent Democratic leaning voters in our county.

Doing something.

Missouri folks, if you’re sick of the current state of our state, come out to support a blue wave! Crystal Quade is the Democrat running for governor, and she is AWESOME. Come out and give her your support. 🌊🌊🌊

Got boosted for Covid and flu today!

*singsonging to MonyMony, the wonder-dog* Bedtime, bedtime, gonna go to bedtime. Bedtime, bedtime. Gonna go to bedtime.

WE ARE DONE. He came, looked at all the stuff, and we’re going to do this in four phases—small stuff we bring to their warehouse, nicer furniture they come pick up and take to their warehouse, an onsite sale with what’s left and with the books, and very specialized things we send with my sister to sell in Minneapolis.

Whew. We are ready for the auctioneers to come give us their assessment. Woof. I’m gonna need a boatload of margaritas to calm down after all this work.

Prepping for this estate sale is Herculean.

I cannot move all this yarn to Spain. 🧶

They look delicious! I hope other folks think they taste good too.
