It's Election Day
Please pass the Xanax.
Seriously, I have never felt this nervous about an election.
But at least the campaign ads go away today...
Music Monday
Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel … The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo. Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
Hoping that our long nightmare is ending and that another is not beginning.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteI am looking forward to an empathic, compassionate, kind, concerned leader...
I remember the days, not so long ago when I was able to go days and weeks without even thinking about what our president was doing! I trusted him to behave rationally. I don't mean just four years ago either, I never had to worry much no matter which party was in office. Now it's been solid daily (no, all day) anxiety and craziness.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. There were certain norms observed by Presidents, no matter which party they belonged to. I disagreed with Reagan’s policies, with Bush 41 and Bush 43, but I never doubted their loyalty to this country and their desire to serve all Americans.
DeleteI know that part 1,000,000 of the nightmare begins tonight after all our country's polls close. But, even if the person whom I hope wins does win, he (and she) have a very long road ahead of them. Very long road - and will they be given the support they need by Congress? Still, we won't be living under daily crazy anymore if that happens. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I am watching the Senate very closely
DeleteI hope most everyone just stay home for few days, and remember we all Americans. Thank you for voting.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe and Coffee is on
I hope so too
DeleteMy father predicts a landslide. Of course, he predicted that last time. And he said (after being wrong) that things wouldn't be so bad. So, not all that keen on his prognosticating skills. But at least we don't have arguments in my family. (I come from a long line of liberals.)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother became a citizen of this country as an adult and was proud to exercise her vote. In her later years she voted by absentee ballot. She’d tell my aunt, “make sure you mark it for the Democrat.” All of her descendants are Democrats.
