Facebook is far too full of crazy people. There's a woman on there now trying to convince me that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin chained a 10 year old girl to a tree. Cut off her face while she was alive and then danced around the tree with her face. I told her her sickness was repulsive, but there are far too many people sucking up Q-Anon and any other whackadoodle nonsense and believing it to be absolutely true. She thinks trump is "exposing corruption". Dog save us.
I used to think the same about Osteopaths vs MDs, Alan...until our most beloved MD pediatrician told me it’s just not true. So, I think it’s really more about character here.

A new Franklin Pierce University-Boston Herald poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race nationally, 51% to 37%.
Key takeaway: “In two days of polling before Trump got COVID, the president trailed Biden by just a 46% to 41% margin. In the three days of polling after the coronavirus diagnosis, Biden held a 55% to 34% lead.”
Oh, I am really looking forward to Wednesday! I’m picking up 5 yo granddaughter to come over and play for the afternoon! We will have lunch, draw with my new crayons, go see Gramie’s treadle sewing machine (her request!), play with the fancy dollhouse, bake brownies and have a lovely tea party!
Life is good!
After I bring her home, I get back here in time to attend a Zoom class on “putting the garden to bed” which I will need to exit a half hour early to watch the debate. But that’s okay because they’ll send me a link to a recording of it on Thursday morning. 🎃
I may need to be on the elliptical during the debate!
