The Calm Before the Storm

 A brief calm; Thursday I watched tOSU game with the boys (remotely); while I am not a huge football fan, part of the group and all that.  Yesterday I had a date of sorts; met a lovely young thing for coffee (she is a recovering alcoholic; I really know how to pick them) but it was nice, at least nice enough.  In the meantime, I have some time to post, so here we go...

Hahaha; as I said at the office, maybe the GOP has...evolved on this here?  You can't blame us for taking a page from their book and using it, can you? I mean, you can, but then they'd be hypocrites... I mean, it's like the people who gave us "My body, my choice" mandating COVID vaccines.
