At the Ellipse

 Day two of the current heat wave.  Yes, that's what I'm going to call it.  Today our temps are predicted to climb into the mid to upper 70s (F).  That warm for this close to November.  Tomorrow, our thermometers are supposed to top off well into the 80s (F).  Tomorrow is also Trick or Trich night in my neck of the woods.  That means I'll have the porch light turned off and the curtains closed at a very early hour.  I don't work tomorrow, so there should be no problem with that.

So, I had my plumbing issue fixed yesterday.  It was pricey, but that's how things are these days.  The plumbing group I use is less expensive than Pronto, who I used to use.  The plumber was a bit on the creepy side, very soft spoken, think of a white Michael Jackson.  He was only here for an hour, but I was glad when he drove his truck away from my curb.  Because it was nice and sunny, Howie and I spent most of that time out working in the yard.  As a result, he was a very sleepy puppy last evening.  

As soon as the leak was finished, I began doing laundry.  

I had a bit of a cranky belly last night, so I suspect that fluey thing is still not completely out of my body.  What a pain this has been.

And Kamala had a rally on the Ellipse last evening.  Wowza!

Here's a pic of the overflow crowd at the Washington Monument.

I'm betting MAGA world is worried.  Over 75,000 for a closing rally!  So, do you think they're worried?  Yeah.  Laura Loomer, who was no doubt much happier being Orangie Anus's side piece, was shrieking that people were bussed in.  Duh.  Any even in DC that draws that many people will rely on buses to a certain extent.  What terrifies MAGA world is that these people were bussed in from Maryland, and Virginia, and Pennsylvania.  Over 75,000 voters is a lot of voters, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.  This makes me happy.  You can bet your bottom bazooka that Donnie's team is worried, too, and that makes me smile. 

It would not surprise me in the least is when the polls start coming in on November 5, if Donnie J tried to make a beeline towards an awaiting plane.  If that happens, I'm hoping the Feds are waiting for him.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he has several waiting in different locations.  He'll be in Mar a Lago, however, and that does limit his access to air travel somewhat.  

On a side note, as of yesterday afternoon over 350,000 subscribers had cancelled their subscriptions to the Washington Post.  Jeff Bezos condescending letter evidently failed miserably.  The time has come to make billionaires accountable.
