For the first Halloween in 14 years, I don't have a dog barking every time a trick-or-treater shows up at the door. Kinda sucks.

I am now starring in "Breaking Bad: Canadian Edition". You know, where the protagonist gets cancer and gets treatment for free because of universal health care, but complains about having to pay for parking.

I was headed to the gym, then the heavens opened and the rain poured down and I discovered I am made of sugar.

Didn't register to vote? You still can.
Also, it'll be slamming busy for the first few hours and then quieter until about 4, then slamming busy again. At least, that was my experience the 4 days of advance #voting.

I just had another of those painful #BoycottAmerica conversations with the owner of a small site I've used for years. I canceled my subscription and explained that it was because of the US slide into autocracy. I got a polite and personal response from the owner.
I do hope the decent Americans win.
