Hmm, sure seems the flies go for weirdo's big time. White haired ones and people in fushia.

Great gesture, but it won't produce anything.

Amy Coney Barrett's Notre Dame colleagues write an open letter: "We congratulate you on your nomination to the United States Supreme Court. An appointment to the Court is the crowning achievement of a legal career and speaks to the commitments you have made throughout your life. And while we are not pundits, from what we read your confirmation is all but assured. That is why it is vital that you issue a public statement calling for a halt to your nomination process until after the November presidential election."

Pundits are mystified tonight as to why Barrett couldn't give a straight answer as to whether voter intimidation is illegal, a peaceful transfer of power is possible, a President can pardon himself or anything in the Constitution enables him to unilaterally delay a Federal election, etc. The answer is blitheringly simple: she knows that should she reply the way anyone else with a law degree (or even still in law school) would, CinnamonHitler would yank her nomination in a heartbeat.

Bob explained why he won't get tested unless he has symptoms. Hospitals' policy is not to test asymptomatic healthcare professionals because anyone who tests positive would have to quarantine, and therefore there wouldn't be enough doctors & nurses to treat any patients. And his entire practice would have to close for at least 10-14 days. If he develops symptoms or I test positive, then we will isolate together. (No point in sleeping in separate rooms: should I have it, he already would and vice versa). As for me, if I test negative and we still have no symptoms by day 10, he says it'd be safe for both of us to go out again.

Gordy's temp had been running in the 99s and his allergies are bothering him. But it's down a bit tonight and allergy meds are helping. His O2 sats are 99%. His girlfriend asked their erstwhile "friend" (the plague vector), who mentioned "dying," what his symptoms are: the reply was he's tired and his knee hurts. (Probably a side souvenir of that ill-advised gym visit). Through gritted teeth I keep repeating, "I will not have schadenfreude."

I just heard that some young election workers in Harris County, TX have come up with a way to circumvent long early-voting lines caused by Abbott's cruel "one-early-voting-polling-place-and-dropbox-per-county" rule: drive-up ballot depositing. It's legal, apparently. So, however, is it legal in CA for third parties to collect absentee ballots and--presumably--deliver them to election authorities. Therefore, the CA GOP has set up its own non-official dropboxes with no labels identifying them as non-governmental, much less partisan. If you think the contents of those boxes in "blue" areas of CA will actually get delivered to the Bd. of Elections, I have a lovely ski chalet in FL to sell you.
