There is a new factor in the Warnock-Walker race.

Vince Dooley passed away yesterday. He was Herschel's coach and probably the most important figure in Georgia athletics history, and recorded a campaign commercial for Walker this fall.

I was a 13 year old in 1980 when the Dawgs won a national championship. I absolutely worshipped the ground that Walker and Dooley walked on. I lost all respect for Herschel over the years as I heard of his domestic abuse, but I still respected Dooley right up to the point where he stumped for Trump in 2016. He tarnished his reputation with me at that point - it was like a knife to the heart. I haven't felt the same about him since. But anyone who is Republican or independent in Georgia who's been a UGA fan? They will go to the polls and vote for Walker as a tribute to Dooley.

I hope this isn't the case, but I think this happening so close to the election will throw it to Walker.

Help! Cat issue

My girlfriend and I are moving in together, but she has a cat and I am severely allergic (Class 5 allergy, so trying to medicate with antihistamines isn’t going to work). Her daughter was going to adopt him but could not manage. We have tried to find relatives or friends who could take him but have been unsuccessful. She very much loves her cat and we are horrified at the idea of taking him to a kill shelter, and the non-kill shelters in our area have no room to spare. I would be happy to pay any costs associated with getting him to his new home. He is good with children and other cats, but is very vocal and would need to be trained to not be as vocal. He is 6 and has all of his shots and has been spayed. He has been an indoor/outdoor cat. I love my girlfriend very much, and I really want her to know that her cat is in a good, loving home.

Can anyone help or suggest anything?

Time to spread a little DU love!

Who needs a heart? I've got 17 left and I'd like to give them to people who don't have one or just have 1 or 2. I'll check back in in a little while.
