After the train wreck of a presidential debate I am not sure I can stomach the VP debate

I did not watch the first presidential one and I'm not watching this one either. I'm saner that way.

Here we go again (if you live in the path):

Thanks.

We had a thunderstorm come barreling through with 70 mph winds, took down trees ann limbs, knocked power out all over the place, and made it hard to get home, but it did not last more than about 20 minutes.

All I got was a rock.

It's getting close to sunset in October here, and it's 92°. It's been unseasonably warm, with record low rainfalls. Dry as a bone. And you talk about thunderstorms?

All we got is a rock.

I think you are doing the right thing.

obvious panderers dominate the minds of those pandered to.....
all they wanted was attention ...shameless attention horse's...
but what is more embarrassing?
being a panderer [taking candy from babies], or being the baby taking the panderers seriously?

Hmmm.....your target countries might have some of those imperfections, & more.

Not like here. I won't acquire medical debt in many other countries. No real worry of gun violence. Amd the numbers say it all. Americans are so selfishly entitled it just is not able to cope with a pandemic.

I'm thinking the mindset I myself need to have is that if things do disintegrate here, that the crumbling will be an opportunity of spiritual trial for me to work on inner peace.

My new eye color.

So, you remove your old eyes and put those in? I never knew that was possible.

There are surgeries. Probably not that efficient though. A little more permanent. Complete with marketing lines that make it sound like eye color is a major huge internal thing you've just always known in a way that is eerily similar to how gender dysphoria works with that "inner sense of identity that you've always known." (or at least for those who have always known)

It's getting harder to find DOS boxes & parts for them.

When I was staying in Bullhead City, I was going to walk to Laughlin at night once it cooled down. But it never cooled down enough for me to want to walk a few miles over to the next city/state. It stayed super hot. And then hoping to get up super early to beat the heat and have my business done before the heat, nope, that crap is an early riser in your neck of the woods and I was miserably hot by mid-morning.

Eh, one of these days you'll probably feel the need to upgrade to Win 95.

That is too witchycraft like and forbidden tomes of dark knowledge to his old systems that are required to run his business systems. You have to remember, the order of Technology Creation went 1:Revoltingests old antique machines, and then 2) the computers to be a meek help to Revoltingest to assist him in his business thingies so he can be the steward of the mechanical Antediluvian among us.

I already use Win 98.
It's the last Microsoft op sys using a DOS kernel.

Bullhead City is a few degrees hotter than my area. I think that's generally the case for the Mojave Desert versus the Sonora Desert where I live. A few degrees cooler and tad more rainfall - but not much. And it seems to be getting worse all the time. We usually get a few inches of rain in the summer, but this summer has been terrible. Far below average.

Usually, the coolest part of the day is around 5a or so, although that could still be in the mid to upper 80s. These days it's getting down to the upper 60s, so we're finally getting some relief.

This is pretty good for fans of Kubrick movies....

I was thinking more in terms of Steve Austin's bionic eye on "The Six Million Dollar Man." I always wanted one of those.

Today I had a potato chicken dish with tomatoes and corn.

It was yesterday or the day before I read an article about computerized contact lenses to help the blind see and it did remind me of Steve.
