Last night I went to see 'Oh, Mary'. I made the plans to go months ago, knowing I would be either be celebrating or in need of a distraction on 11/6. Unfortunately, it was the latter and not the former. An extraordinarily funny show! Highly recommended. Easily the funniest show about a Presidential assassination I have seen (so far). Now I just need to find several hundred more distractions...
The fact of the matter is that this is largely a hateful, greedy, and stupid country. I blame myself for being repeatedly surprised it is.
I weep for those who will suffer the most. This will be a nightmare for LGBTQ+ people. Ukraine is likely fucked. Immigrants and their extended families will suffer. Science again ignored. The list goes on and on.
A dark day.
May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather.
Today's the day, Citizen. If you never do your duty any other day, ever, in your entire privileged life, do it today. Not for yourself, but for all those who can't stand up for themselves, all those who gave their lives to defend democracy, and for the generations yet to be born. You want a better nation? You have to be a better citizen.
Today is the day. Now, get after it.

Yes, it'll take you a few minutes, but it's worth the read.
"Apology Not Accepted"
Wow, I just had to shut the outside lights off and I usually leave them on until 9 (although I can't remember the last time I had Trick or Treaters after 8).
More than twice as many kids as I typically get. I got some extra candy yesterday since it was going to be so warm today, I figured on more than usual but I still got wiped out!
