Voting on my absentee ballot here in red state Ohio: there's state bonds for infrastructure, a municipal income tax and a school levy. These did poorly before Trump, but now is different: Red voters LOVE taxes as long as the rich aren't impacted (even if you have to call them tariffs). They'll pass

Listening to one of the lot of LPs that I ordered off eBay. It took two weeks to arrive as the USPS was bouncing it between Massachusetts and Indiana a couple times prior to arriving.
First up is Franz Schmidt Organ Works, Kurt Rapf organist, MHS 3767, recorded in the early seventies.

A few moments of Senior Confusion this morning as I checked my phone time before napping then woke up to read an un-DST-adjusted wall clock. "I napped 10 minutes? That seemed like an hour!"
