A Sad Covid Halloween

More than 60 minutes in and not a single trick or treater  . . Normally the sidewalks are PACKED. It looks like everyone is obeying the Covid cancellation.  Sad. There isn't a tradition this pandemic hasn't ruined in 2020.

RIP Sean Connery, aged 90. You were - and are - a legend.

A Great Quote about Anxiety

"Ain't no sense worrying: If you have no control over something, ain't no sense worrying about it -you have no control over it anyway. If you do have control, why worry? So either way, there ain't no sense worrying." -Mickey Rivers

I'm Impressed!

I was pretty darn impressed watching Junie's virtual high school entrance interview.  Period pooh.

A very good,  very sweet movie.

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.

150 Years Ago Today

Robert E Lee died 150 years ago today, having suffered a stroke two weeks prior. He was 63.

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.

RIP to the legendary HOF pitcher

The President has Covid

My prayers are with you Mr. President, and with FLOTUS.

Enjoying the Weather

On Abortion

It’s crazy how hung up people are on abortion because it’s a “life” when those very same people see no problem with charging a living breathing child for lunch and support withholding lunch without payment🥴 crazy how America’s children don’t seem to matter after birth. - LuLu

Never Forget

First Day of School 2020

In our experience, virtual learning in the time of Covid was a mess, and of limited value. So when my 15 year old son asked to leave his beloved high school if it meant he could go in person elsewhere, we listened. Today the two youngest started at a suburban school. My eighth grader is bitter A.H. at the move and convinced we are trying to kill her with Covid, but that's not our ONLY reason ;) Have a great year guys!

Smiley gets his temps!

Guess who has his temps? #bamwhat
