hi, Sheila and folks.
Hope you're doing well.
Hi Handy, crunch, crunch, slurp.

@seth: we can talk about all of these things, and they are not mutually exclusive. Are you a tankie or something?

- I want to ask you all a favor.
My birthday is 3rd Nov. - Election Day.
Let's see if we can not only Vote - but bring others to the polls (mailbox what have you).
I'm an introvert not an activist - but just about everything is @ stake. & voting isn't just about the POTUS - there's Congress when they come up, which is hardly less important in terms of real power - & state & local reps & measures.

I know that part of the world could be a little wild.. but the buck stops somewhere there.
There's almost a category of current conflicts in the world built upon how the Soviet Union drew internal boundaries (who got what, who didn't get their own turf, so on)..
or Lena Lovitch
or both : )
A couple of quarantinis in. Feeling a little more centered.
Nancy and Lee!
Did you notice the James Bond Theme quotation?
good stuff!
Thanks, Sheila. Thanks, Skeleton. Thanks, all.
Be well, Friday friends.
See ya around everyone. Take care and be well.
Banarama!
