43 hours without electricity.

Public Safety Power Shutoff, courtesy of PG&E, our power company. They shut it down to prevent fires that could be caused by their equipment going down in severe wind conditions. Power was estimated to be restored at 10:00 pm tonight, but came back on around 1:00 this afternoon. Wasn't so bad since we got a small generator to power the essiantial things. I guess it's better than being on fire.

I live in a senior mobile home park, and it was good to see the community come together and help their neighborhood out. Where necessary people shared their generator power with neighbors who had none, and we all looked out for each other. It's so quiet now that all the generators are shut off. This is the most friendly community I have ever lived in.

Notice to republican Senators who want to distance themselves for Trump.

You could start by not voting to put another Nazi on the Supreme Court.

Just kidding, it's way too late to distance yourdelf from Trump. Your last chance for that was when you voted to not remove him from office. Enjoy the stench and filth you will have to carry around with you for the rest of your miserable life.

You know what is interesting?

With all the many years Joe Biden has spent in public office, they are reduced to attacking one of his kids, and they had to make stuff up because they found nothing. And they damn sure can't find anything on Joe. He's so squeaky clean they don't even dare to make stuff up about him.

You know what's scary about Trump (and this country)?

If during his term as president, he had signed every executive order and gotten every bit of legislation he wanted when the republicans still held the House, and if he had shown some decent character instead of being a total asshole, He would probably be coasting to a second term right now.

The RNC needs to go to Hollywood and hire some cinematographic talent.

They need to colorize Mike Pence.

What an afternoon.

The wife and I just spent hours going through literally about 75 lbs of my family's photos and other memorabilia, dating back to the 40s. I never had biological children, but my niece is coming up from Arizona to visit and I wanted to pass things along to her and her kids.

So basically, I just viewed my family's life in several hours. I kept the few I wanted, but now they will be in the custody of a younger generation. I've never really been a camera person, but fortunately my mom was. Lots of good memories.
