mental health break!
we interrupt this broadcast...
hey folks — I’ve got an early-morning appointment today that couldn’t be rescheduled and can’t be avoided. (don’t worry, it’s nothing awful.) rather than trying to rush out a substandard post, I’ve decided to call a Mental Health Day. I’ve needed one for a while now, and this is as good a time as any.
if I were Joyce Vance, right now I’d be posting pictures of my chickens, and if I were Wonkette, it would be cats. but I have neither, so here’s a photo of the sunset as seen from my front yard, two days ago.
feel free to use the comment section as a big open thread today, and I’ll be back tomorrow with ‘this week in stupid.’ thanks for hanging in.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
I promise that when I return home later this morning, I'll post a comment explaining what the appointment was all about. probably.
Good for you. My wife and I are going to the beach today and sitting on our asses for the day. Hope to finish reading "Admirals", by Walter Borneman. It's a great read about the USN prior to and including WWII and command of the seas during that war. Having served in the USN I am enjoying the book and have reflected a lot on the thought of if the Orange Lunatic had been in charge instead of FDR. We would probably all be dead. Keep your money in your pocket today!
