@bluebelle I love Anne Lamott so much. I don't know that I have ever read someone who can tap into personal stories and experiences and then relate them in such a way to weave an explanation of the highs and lows of the human condition with such razor precision. She is a dang genius. AND funny.
When I think about elections and those running, I try to imagine seeing that person's name in headlines in the future. Pence doesn't ring true for me as something I might see. Biden I can see, but mainly because we saw his name in headlines before with the VP title, so that kind of does resonate. When I think of the potential VP's, the only one I that feels right with the title of President or Vice President is Harris. None of the others sound right to my ears.
Not concerned at all. If Trump resigns, it will be on Jan 19th at earliest, after the election is decided and he has burned down all he can. If he does, he will do so at the last minute, leaving Pence POTUS just long enough to sign the pardon.
@stargazer ditto on Kamala Harris. Before I even saw Biden I saw her on the winning ticket.
Greetings friends, I’m back from my National Parks Road Trip. Just wanted to say that during my visits to Glacier, Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons, every time I looked at the jagged peaks I see Biden smiling. There were many nights I even dreamt of the mountains, it was nice and peaceful and always with Biden’s face on the mountains smiling.
I feel like this is telling me that Biden will overcome every obstacle and will rise above those that are trying to take him down; there’s always changes with different forces to these grand mountains but it stands tall and have withered the changes.
I have so much to catch up on but sending you all my love.
share the love and light

Curiously, 88 is also used to mean "bye bye (拜拜)" in Chinese-language chats, text messages, SMSs and IMs.
Don’t Dream It’s Over
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
Don't let them win
This song was a huge hit in for Crowded House in '87. Could have easily been written this morning.
