What happened?

CNN changed the EC totals to 203 to 125? That's considerably decreased for Biden while Trump is increased.

Trying hard to keep up.

I declare myself the winner.

You all don't have to suffer anymore. Let me tell you: I have won the Presidency. That's right. I feel it in my gut. It seems right. I am your new President.

For my first official act (after declaring myself the winner,) I will send you all the stimulus check that I know you need. I will prevent your landlords from kicking you out on the street. I can't have you wandering around lest you wander over my way. Of course, I won't be real quick to take down my new fence, of which I am growing fond.

See, it doesn't have to hurt! How easy that was! I promise to be nice, no stupid tweets, and I will improve the WH decor!

Going straight to Christmas.

No more waiting for Trump to vacate the WH. Instead, White Christmas is here for me. Sounds racist, doesn't it? But, it's just a reference to snow.

Every year, I start earlier. This isn't even the earliest I ever started. I once started in July. I start by listening to carols. I love big band and choral arrangements, and cool versions of perenial favorites. I collect Christmas Carols, and often search for new material with zippy arrangements. I find it peaceful and comforting.

It's time to solve this plague problem. I think it's going to be something like HIV; you get it, and you're stuck with it. I don't think it's reinfection. I think it's just that you have it, and your body loses the control you had when you left care.

Those fatalists who aren't wearing masks because they think they can't "get" it are going to be surprised. It's like when you get chicken pox, and decades later you develop shingles. Eventually they developed a vaccine for that, many, many years later. That's what this is gonna turn out to be.

There is peace in research.

Do you remember Bobby Darin? That man was a helluva singer. He's singing Auld Lang Syne with alternate lyrics. "When mistletoe and tinsel glow..." Sweet...hey, I lost two inches off my girth just from this election. Everything is gonna be okay. Just need to stay away from Christmas cookies.

While we are occupied with the election

China has been busy annexing land belonging to Nepal. Not that we would have done anything, but it pisses me off.

But, what about the suckers and losers?

How many millions of them might vote for Biden? They have a legal right to have their votes counted after the 3rd.

Maybe Trump shouldn't have mean mouthed them.

I have a Senate question.

Let's say the majority is very close in favor of Repubs. Could Joe appoint a convenient number of them to his cabinet and thus gain the majority?

I dislike the idea of them in his cabinet (our cabinet.) but if it gave us the majority, I'd go for it.

How does that work?

Biden won California.

Now STFU, all you idiots standing at the main intersection. You lost!

I finally finished voting.

It was a hard weekend, won't go into it, but I earned my vote sticker. Same as ya'll.

I am sore as hell. I stood in line for almost 2.5 hours. Everyone was respectful, subdued, and helpful to one another. My polling place, which was identified as where to go by the State web site itself, was closed. So, I had to travel over, not far, where they took me in.

Oh, TG I had my rollator with me, part of my vote plan. If I didn't have it, I couldn't have stayed. I am absolutely sore all over, and I am taking extra doses of pain stuff, to get straight. I hope you are all doing post election stuff that makes you happy. I am happy just to be back home. I am greatly relieved that this part is over.
