I'm guessing every repub who announced their retirement is going to acquit and blow town.

They'll get cushy gigs as lobbyists, and never face a nanosecond of accountability...

Okay. Pajamas. Bathrobe. Warm woollen socks. Cup of hot coffee.

My way of saying to November, "Bring it..."

Friday Night Wine Buzz. Ask me anything.

I love you all...

Finally had an entire week of good days in clinic. I've needed that for a while.

Now for a three-day weekend...

Trailers that promise the opposite of what the film delivers.

Anyone ever see those YouTube videos that create a humorous fake trailer by cherry-picking scenes to create the impression of a film that's the exact opposite of the actual movie?

Someone did 'Mary Poppins' as a horror film, and 'The Shining' as a comedy.

The thing is, people have make trailers for actual films that offer an impression of the film that is wildly different from the film itself.

I remember the trailer for 'Brassed Off'; it made the film out to be a quirky, cute British rom-com, when it turned out to be a relatively dark, bitter film about labor unrest.

The trailer for 'The Road To Wellville' made the film come across as a fun period musical (there were no musical numbers in the film, but the trailer showed one scene of the characters singing in unison, and made it look like a musical number) instead of the black comedy satire it was.

Strange...

I've got four full physical exams on my schedule for the afternoon.

Four patients coming in from our substance abuse treatment center for their admission physicals.

I'm going to spend the afternoon listening to people who habitually stick toxic substances into their arms tell me why they object to getting the flu vaccine...

I just ran an errand across the street from the clinic.

Had to wade through a sea of dried brown leaves.

I can't think of a better metaphor for a country in the autumn of its years. I think we're dying...

Remember all the Trumpanzee talk about 'libtard tears'?

Tough talk from such a bunch of whiny crybabies...

Bing's Halloween gif is kind of fun this year.

Nowhere near the scariest I've seen, but good.

Loungers threatened by wildfires and power outages: check in please.

If you have any power at all to get online...

Hoping to hear you're all right...
