Today was a good day. We got our mail-in ballots, we filled them out right away, I voted Democrat throughout – I didn’t even know the judges, but looked them up. If they were appointed by a Republican, too bad for them, I voted not to retain. Sorry, but I have been radicalized.

We ordered awnings for our patio three months ago, gave them half the price as a deposit, and got nothing but a run-around since then. I won’t drag you through the phone calls and the threats, but today they delivered and are now installing. When they are done, Ed and I will drive to an election box drop site and drop off our ballots. I am not trusting the mail that Trump has f’d with.

We watched the debate between Trump and Biden last night. My critique is that Chris Wallace should have been more forceful. I also think that any debater who tramples over the rules as Trump did, should have his mike cut off while he is ranting in order to drown out whatever his opponent is saying. I thought Biden was good and would suggest that instead of saying “it’s not true,” he should instead have said “that’s a lie” or “you are lying”. Let’s call it what it is. Let’s not be politically correct.

Notably absent from the Trump playbook, any condemnation of white supremacists, and he yet, again, emboldened them to act out if he loses because, of course, that means the election was rigged.
