So, it's the last weekend before the chaos, cruelty and incompetence begins

[Quiet Em]

I don't know if I'm truly ready for this. My goal is to just be kind and helpful to good people. It's going to be a sucky four years.

1. Yep................

[StarryNite]

2. Our final Friday of freedom.

Then two more days and that's it.

[Clouds Passing]

3. Live it up!

[Hugin]

4. It's like one of those nightmares where something hideous is stalking you, you wake up and there's the hideous...

Something hanging on the ceiling above you.

I hate those nightmares where you wake up still in the nightmare.

5. 'Tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun"

Who can correctly cite where that phrase came from, and the author? It fits the times, I think.

[Dave Bowman]

9. The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester, a sci-fi novel.

10. Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

[MiHale]

6. I'm still going to be myself...

A lot like you…helping out others and being kind, it’s the way of life. We have a plethora of seniors in my town we all help each other. It is also rural and very red…often after helping and them saying “Thanks”, I gently say to remember a Democrat helped them. Sometimes I’ll switch out Dem for liberal.

Responses vary.

7. It's truly "the end of the world as we know it"

Good luck to everyone

[Think. Again.]

8. Yes, protecting ourselves and others...

....while safely, peacefully, and quietly resisting is the plan for the next four (hopefully 2) years.
