Ugly

 Yesterday was just...rough.  Mom got out of the home yesterday.   Not sure why, but they pretty much rushed her out the door, which included 1) a three hour delay in calling in her prescriptions and 2) NOT telling us they couldn't call in all of them.  This was not helpful.  As for Mom, she is...ok?  A little apprehensive, maybe being back at home.  I thought she was more advanced in her therapy in some ways (from what she described).  Comically, she thought the bed we set up for her was too high, so I had to take apart Humpty Dumpty again, which was not fun, as the process was a lot of work.  Oi!

Then the Tribe game.  Oi.  Bieber didn't have it last night, to be sure, but... this could be me, but if it was obvious they were preying on the first-pitch fastball..stop throwing it?  Much like 2018 against the Astros, it seems that once a game plan is developed, they can't seem to go off script for even a second, even when it is obvious things are NOT working.  At least 1) Naylor hit more yesterday than in the regular season (off Cole, to boot) and 2) the relievers we would want to use are rested. I predict the season ends today.

Then the debate, which was a shit show and a train wreck.  They were saying that POTUS came out "hot;" maybe, but at some point you have to cool down...much as I hated watching Bill O'Reilly for interrupting people and stopping them from making fools of themselves, similarly, you can let people finish and then attack.., funny thing is, the President has a record to defend -- repealing NAFTA, for instance; if Jake Tapper can make the point, why not Trump?  The manufacturing sector was doing...well, fairly well, if you will; certainly, they made it happen.  Unemployment was at a record low; business confidence was at a high.  The construction sector was advancing at a good clip, and people in that sector in the economy are still bullish on the President.  Compared to 2016, when he was all jobs and economy, he could have stressed that... especially on COVID; his argument there is that he shut the economy down as much as he could, but when the cure was worse than the disease, you had to bring it back, or at least let state and local governments do so... leaving all the low-lying fruit on the trees was not good.
