I went out into the big world and Silver Bells came onto the car radio. I would like to propose that holiday lights can happen any old time. Leave them up year round if you want — that’s fine. But in return, can the music wait until after Thanksgiving? Pretty please?

The referenced post keeps popping up on my timeline today and every time I see it I feel like I just smashed my head into a wall.
Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Trust has been broken. She went to the groomer and in doing so, missed lunch. I made it up to her food wise when she came home, but she is making sure I feel guilty.

Tried to blast up the volume when Nirvana - Breed came on during my run, but found I was instead exuberantly hitting the Speed+ button on the treadmill. Whee!!!

I’m drinking my horrifically tannic oversteeped tea as penance for forgetting about it. They should call it ADH-tea. It involved multiple boilings of the electric kettle just to get the thing brewed to start with.

Wait, pretend it’s still Halloween! I meant to post this picture of a millipede I saw on a walk a couple weeks ago - I had been saving it for the festive occasion, but I forgot!

Trick or treating dahlias! The neighbor that grew these had the Ghostbusters song playing and had decorated with cheerful pumpkins. Second favorite house behind the one with the live spooky music on keyboard. I felt like I should be leaving a tip.

I hope to be the sort of halloween house that kids are excited about and parents are less excited about. See anything you want?

I spent a few minutes admiring the late season dahlias at a local pumpkin patch yesterday before my kid took off running pell mell through the largest corn maze I’ve ever been in in my life. That I managed to not lose him, not wipe out running through slick mud, and that we escaped was miraculous.

I haven’t watched the games but am enjoying the posts diluting my intake of horrors. I was raised in a Dodgers home. Our tiny b&w tv was rarely on - but there was a radio, and if the Dodgers were playing, Vin Scully’s voice would be a soothing background melody for the duration of the game.

NEW: The entire staff supporting ACIP was laid off, and most working groups haven't met in months.
That means the US may not make routine vaccine recommendations for more than half of children in 2026, and it could halt new vaccines in the pipeline. My latest:

Anyone else dealing with an unremitting flare of anxiety because food and health insurance and all the things that travel along with them are about to be out of reach for millions in the US, ripped away by the callous Republicans running the country?
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."
