Welcome to November--only two more days

...And I am so tired of this s&%tshow. Hell, I was tired of it when #45 filed for reelection almost as soon as he took his oath (with fingers crossed) of office. Worse, I feel, deep in my bones, that Tuesday won't be the end but simply the end of a beginning and no one knows where what begins on Tuesday will lead. Although the question of who will occupy the Whitehouse may be settled on Election Day (or not as the case may be) damned little else will be. Most of the problems we see today have been brewing for years if not for decades.

And of course, we have the pandemic on top of all the other problems. This little piece makes some good points on how we have come to this point where infections are rising, hospitalizations are rising, and the death toll is rising.

Sometimes, you do, indeed, wonder.
