October Surprise

Little fires everywhere: honey locust gold dust in the back patio

Before Friday morning, I thought this blog would be about how I bought a new pair of glasses online. 

But, the world doesn't need one more person speaking up about Trump's case of COVID-19. So I'll just cut and paste a few things already out there:

Italian right-wing opposition leader Matteo Salvini tweeted: "In Italy and in the world, whoever celebrates the illness of a man or of a woman ... confirms what he is: An idiot without a soul...." CBC

And ...

In 2016, Donald Trump celebrated the illness of his rival Hilary Clinton when she fainted from pneumonia: 'She's supposed to fight all of these things, and she can't make it 15 feet to her car'. YouTube

And ... 

A senior Trump official responded to criticism of the maskless crowd at the RNC by celebrating COVID: "Everybody is going to catch this thing eventually." CommonDreams

In our corner of the world's ending, we continue to be surprised by raccoons in the darnedest places ...

 ... and keeping our fingers crossed that further restrictions in care homes won't mean that Bruce has to go back to not being able to visit his dad. For most of April, May and June, Bruce could not see him at all. Since the restrictions were lifted, Bruce's daily visits have brought his dad out of the fog that descended during the months of his isolation. 

Thanks for reading! Pop that bubble!
