I'm on the left coast...

… so am fine with Trumpville taking the hit.

We already paid our dues last year—my clutch is still waiting to be replaced thanks to Helene, and my son finally got his car fixed after Milton dropped a tree on it. I’ll be majorly pissed if we get hit again this year, but I’m afraid the new normal is going to be endless fucking disasters here. Why didn’t I troll for a lovely Scotsman to take me away from all this when I was young enough to score one? I’d even take a Canadian and learn to deal with winters again. *sigh*

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
