And Hope and History Rhyme
“History says don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.”
From Seamus Haney’s The Cure of Troy.
I AM SO F'ING PROUD OF MY COUNTRY!!!
WE DID IT AND LET THERE BE NO DOUBT THAT THE STATE OF THE UNION IS STRONG!

There has been no movement from 253/214 for well over a day.
Here on the Left Coast I’m dressed, car keys within reach, shoes positioned at the front door, and ready to make a dash to my car and lay on the horn.
Wondering how fast Amazon could get crates of Miralax to all of our major news outlets to help remedy the constipation?
Wondering about the impact of TLP on Republican voters.
Wondering if The Lincoln Project’s brilliant ads, from a Democratic perspective, actually changed any Republicans’ minds about DJT, or caused them to dig in further in their support of “their” president.
Water Heater Question
Does anyone happen to know if the typical lifespan of an electric water is solely a function of its age, or does use make a difference? In other words, would a water heater in a single person household tend to last longer than in a home with two or more people?
Biden tweets about "Oxi" Day

@JoeBiden
Today we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Oxi Day. Greeks inspired the free world when they resisted Mussolini’s invading army — and that courageous spirit lives on today, reminding us we too must stand up and do our part to safeguard our democracy.

Amoral or immoral?
In my opinion, opinion writers and other pundits should be describing Trump’s behavior as immoral as opposed to amoral.
Amoral vs. immoral
The adjective immoral means contrary to established moral principles. Immoral actions are corrupt, unethical, sinful, or just wrong. Amoral means (1) neither moral nor immoral, or (2) lacking moral sensibility. So while immoral and amoral might share a little common ground, there is a clear distinction: immoral things are bad, and amoral things are either neutral from a moral perspective or simply removed from moral considerations.
