My observation driving on I-81, I-83, and I-76 from

Augusta County, Virginia through West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania yesterday: I saw maybe two Trump signs and no Trump bumper stickers. Once on I-76 east in Pennsylvania, all I saw were pro-Harris/Walz signs/billboards and anti-Trump billboards. In fact, there were two billboards from former Trump voters who are voting for Harris.

It was surprising to me and very hopeful. Let’s GO!

I'm really happy.

Two young women in their 20s clean our house every other week and I have been needling them to register to vote for YEARS.

Guess what!? They just told me they both did!

Who's the old man NOW?

I'm heartsick. But now, please, let's all band together and BEAT him and continue working on the progress Joe has begun.

WaPo readers aren't buying the narrative.

Here are some general letters to the editor about the terrible, skewed narrative that Joe must go, and most of the comments on those letters are equally indignant.

I gifted this article, hope you can read it.

Today, yesterday, and tomorrow, our executive branch is

and will be functioning fine and President Biden is the age he is. I have faith in him, in our vice president, and all his staff.

I’m so damned tired of this crap.

The right-wing push is real.

I have noticed more and more right-wing garbage on Facebook, no matter how much I hide it and block it. Not for Trump, but LGBTQ hate and liberal hate posts. Bullying posts not directed at me but not from anyone I know.

A good friend of mine one district over was sent TWO Republican primary ballots here in Virginia for Bob Good’s district (evidently he just lost the recount). She’s not a Republican and we do not register for political parties here. During the recount period, she got a phone call from a private number asking if she had trouble with her ballot because there had been “an awful lot of problems with mail-in ballots.” She hung up.

The shenanigans are rampant, I think.

Women (and some men) have a word with the Kansas City Chiefs

Katie Phang is doing a great job

with Trump trial play-by-play on X-itter.

Today we say goodbye to Chloe, our papillon/dachshund mix.

She was a rescue dog, always a little high anxiety, but the smartest dog we've ever had. She has TCC (transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder) and we treated her without chemo or radiation, but with an NSAID and some bladder support tablets. She was given 6 months and lived 17 months after diagnosis.

Go find Jack, Harley, Pumba, Jimmy the feral cat, and Grandpa Fran, Chloe, and introduce yourself to Scamp, Kelly, and Abby.

Daddy, Blake, and I will see you later. We love you immensely.

I have 8 more hearts to give out - do you need one?

Every year, I search for posters who have no hearts and give mine away. It's middle school all over again! Some have an abundance of hearts, some are bereft.

Make me happy by helping me give my last 8 away!
