Well, where are we?<\/p>\n
Tonight, is the first Presidential Debate.\u00a0 The level of insanity that will be on display should be breathtaking.\u00a0 I remember Biden in his debates against Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan.\u00a0 He never lets truth or even common-sense stand in the way of saying something Biden.\u00a0 His creepiness should be on full display.\u00a0 But the big mystery is whether he is coherent or not.\u00a0 Apparently, there are some drugs that can be used to lift a dementia patient up out of the fog.\u00a0 If Joe seems sharp, not intelligent but sharp, then we\u2019ll have to assume they\u2019ve got him doped up.\u00a0 Either that or he dogged it during the whole earlier part of his campaign.\u00a0 Either way watching the debate should be interesting.<\/p>\n
A month or so before Election Day and indications are that voter fraud through mail in ballots is going to be a wholesale business.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be interesting to see if the adjudication of this election ends at the Supreme Court or goes way beyond that.\u00a0 From the things I\u2019m hearing this may turn into a freak show where voting levels go to unheard of levels and the whole process goes off the rails.\u00a0 That sounds like something that could cause a very serious reaction from both sides.\u00a0 The Left is already occupying the street in many blue locales.\u00a0 If unrest occurs in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin then armed conflict cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n
Florida has ended the COVID precautions and raised the all clear signal for its citizens.\u00a0 This should be an interesting moment.\u00a0 If two or three weeks down the road the daily death rate remains the same it will be an indicator that the other rational areas can do the same.\u00a0 And it\u2019s none too soon as far as I\u2019m concerned.\u00a0 The holidays are coming soon and I\u2019d like to think this lockdown will end before Christmas.\u00a0 New England will be the last to relent but at least if there are some early examples it will build impatience among the sane to pressure the authorities to wake up and smell the coffee.<\/p>\n
I keep threatening to do some of my photo retrospectives but the day job has been keeping me busy.\u00a0 But in about a week, things will definitely improve and I\u2019ll keep some of my promises.\u00a0 Insects are the first subject.\u00a0 But hopefully I\u2019ll have a foliage group and some other things too.\u00a0 And I haven\u2019t forgotten my promise to do a report on what I learned about photographing hummingbirds.<\/p>\n
I still have another Olivier Shakespeare play (Othello) to review and I will continue on through the Star Trek series no matter how painful it becomes.\u00a0 The powers that be are threatening to inflict ShatnerKhan III on an unsuspecting world.\u00a0 I have been trying to figure out a way to live blog or make a podcast out of it.\u00a0 Because of this I have purchased multiple copies of the Shatner mask that the Michael Myers character wore during the Halloween movies to allow for anonymity during the video.\u00a0 This is an indication that ShatnerKhan has now descended into the madness that we knew it eventually would.\u00a0 But since the food is well worth it, we expect to continue the series well into double figures.<\/p>\n
And as promised I\u2019m recruiting some other writers for the site.\u00a0 And I like the change.\u00a0 Not only because it takes some of the pressure off me to write but also because other voices make the site more interesting and generally better.\u00a0 And I\u2019m still looking for more writers.\u00a0 If you or someone you know has some content to share leave a comment here or send an e-mail to orionscoldfire \u201cat\u201d charter.net and let me know.\u00a0 And don\u2019t restrict yourself to politics.\u00a0 Anything interesting will be considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
