There will be elections.
This f*ckknuckle doesn’t have enough lead in his pencil to cancel them.
They may be chaotic. They may be litigated within an inch of their lives. Courtrooms may stay lit through the night.
But the polling stations will open. And they will see record numbers. Oh yes.

Wow, a Matthew Brady photo of a young candidate, Abraham Lincoln. That's great for President's Day. Too respectful to say drink (let's just sip). #antiquesroadshow

Is that fog in the background of some of these appraisals? Or just dreary rain? It gives a tremendous sense of mystery and character to this episode of #AntiquesRoadshow

We don't really have nice antiques, but I still keep everything in pristine condition by not cleaning or polishing. Fortunately my hubby does (he doesn't watch the show). LOL #antiquesroadshow
