As I write this, it's 2 weeks before Election Day. No matter what happens, I expect to see some serious problems resulting from the election. Did the Orange Cry Baby Win? Did the Orange Cry Baby Lose? Right now, it looks like he's doing his best to undermine election results if he loses, and is trying to rally his cult members to do what they feel they have to in order to put their cult leader in charge of this country.
One of my Facebook Friends (a loose acquaintance at best) has drunk the MAGA Kool-Aid. She loves to post anti-Democrat memes, even when objective evidence is all against her. No amount of evidence can prove to a cult member that their view of the world is wrong - something from inside must trigger the self transformation. The older one gets and the stronger a belief is held, the harder it is to see objective reality.
Why do I mention this?
In the case of the Orange Cry Baby, I worry that we'll see a repeat of the theme of January 6, 2021 - force the election to the house, and the GOP will put the Cry Baby in the White House. I pray that this doesn't happen.

Now that I've gotten my worries out of the way for now, I'd like to mention that I picked RQS's luggage up from her house, so that she need not schlep it on the subway and then onto Metro North to get here before our second Bermuda cruise together. We had a nice meal together, and then it was time to leave. Her neighbor was in the hall, and I was dressed as Marian, so I chose to wait a few minutes before leaving her apartment.
Just before leaving, DCD called - and I returned his call while on the road. He's finally got my old car on the road, and it is enabling him to go to work. No, he isn't earning that much. But the car is doing what I wanted for it to do for him - have a way to get to work and start rebuilding his life. We talked about a lot of things, and he was a little embarrassed about the mistakes he has made in his life. I told him NOT to live in the past. He can't change it, and dwelling there is not a good thing. Instead, focus on today, and let tomorrow take care of itself.
When I got home, I found that I couldn't make reservations at the restaurant that RQS and I wanted to go to for Thanksgiving. So I hunted around and found an acceptable place (a steakhouse) that is serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Hopefully, this place will be as nice as the place we wanted to go to. And if a place opens up at Hudson House, we'll drop the old reservation and make a new one there.
