A very good,  very sweet movie.

Happy 24th Anniversary!

Today is our 24th wedding anniversary,  and because work schedules precluded a tradional celebration today,  we enjoyed lunch together at Real Chili. Yum.

Mind you,  we went out last night.  The "no reservation/ no wait" restaurant of our choice turned out to have an hour wait so we went to Carraba's - where the staff wore jackets because the heat had been broken all week and the dining room was a brisk 55 degrees F. Zoinks.

Even so, it was a great meal with a great woman and I had a blast. 

Thanks for 24 years Lisaboo.

Happy 24th Anniversary Dan! We’ve had enough tests, the tide is turning and I’m looking forward to our future together. - Lisa

Well, now that might change things . . .

I'm no anti-masker. But if I was,  this would change my mind.  Period pooh.

I Voted Today

I voted in person today. Due to strict Covid restrictions the line pictured here took an hour to move, tho those restrictions still weren't fanatical enough for one very angry voter in front of me. I imagine the speed will pick up, as after one time through I saw a number of ways to increase the speed while maintaining Covid safety.  

I had wanted the kids to go with me, as I was always honored to accompany my own parents, but apparently voting is only a right worth celebrating if the other person votes the way you wish.

The Wave Cancels Their Season

Snow?

A few minutes ago it was snowing in my backyard. Nothing stuck, and it was so inconsequential that a meteorologist might doubt the tale,  but it happened.

A Clear Conflict of Interest

I was running an errand on the west side when I saw a very large campaign sign for Biden-Harris. No problem there, but then I saw the building it stood in front of: the office for the USPS letter carriers union.  I do not care which side of the aisle you stand on -  if you're even moderately concerned with having a fair election,  it MUST trouble you that the personnel charged with transporting and delivering millions of ballots are openly endorsing a candidate running in that very election. I don't discount the ethics of individual employees of USPS, but this is the same organization that warns you - their customer! - not to entrust cash within the mail their employees handle!

Be Careful Out There

There's a bad accident on westbound 94 just east of Miller Park. An SUV is flipped on its driver's side, and its roof appears to have been cut away by firefighters to pull out the occupants. As i drove by going east, they were strapping a man to a wooden board for transport. #prayers

Expecting Trouble

The WI National Guard has been mobilized in anticipation of the "peaceful protests" expected tomorrow in Wauwatosa.

A Sweet Gesture

Most nights one of the kids, usually LK, writes a note and puts it in my lunch.  No such note yesterday,  but when I got off work this  was left on my dash. Half an hour away from home,  and the kids still thought to drive by my work and suprise me with a message.  I gotta admit,  I was touched.

A Daytime Racoon

I just saw an adult raccoon a block east of my house. It was cute, for a rodent, but they're nocturnal, so I wasn't expecting to see one after sunrise.

Enough with the Ads

Honestly, no one is unaware of the election. No one. If you need 10k reminders from the media, your Hollywood elite, and politicians to go out and vote . . . Well, I won't interfere with your right to do so, but I seriously doubt your contribution to the process is a plus for anyone.
