Never quite understood the straws thing in restaurants. To go, sure. I just *gasp* drink from the damn glass in the restaurant. Not like the "germs" from the glass are going to be avoided by using a straw, considering your drink is in the glass (??)
Yep, stuck in FL for the time being. Job, family, and a home business so it won't be a trivial thing to leave. I'll miss exactly one thing when I retire up north, and that will be my weekend (non-full time) band (which by that time will surely be done gigging!)
What a roller coaster since the debate. I do feel some sense of relief though I don't have vast optimism that Trump can be beaten and won't breathe a sigh of relief until he actually loses. Inevitably his side will 1) try to cheat and 2) complain that the other side cheated so I don't even worry about that.
Sadly there is still plenty of sexism and racism even among what are normally Democratic voters so I worry a bit about Harris' chances. For whatever reason people think old white dudes need to run things. On the plus side, if demonized-for-decades Hillary with her unpleasant speaking voice could get that close to beating "fresh and new" Trump then maybe it'll happen with old-n-busted Trump.
