  1. Good morning! Gorgeous fall colors. Around here the Hocking Hills region is famous for high quality leaf peeping.

      We're waiting for the clouds to lift off the top of Mount Mansfield, but we understand the first snow of the season fell there overnight.

    4. Hi, Alan! Sorry, listener, I don't have any photos. We have a tradition of planning to drive down there in October and then failing to get around to it.

    Note: Omaha is in Douglas County, and also in the Nebraska electoral vote district that generally votes Democratic.

  3. "As Beth Reinhard of the Washington Post recounted yesterday, a report from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, revealed that the Trump White House prevented a real investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. More than 4,500 calls and electronic messages about Kavanaugh sent to the FBI tip line went directly to the White House, where they were never investigated, and the FBI was told not to pursue corroborating evidence of the accusations by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez although lawyers for the women presented the names of dozens of people who could testify to the truth of their allegations."

    1. Somebody - don't recall who - I was listening to last night, while i was busy not sleeping, observed that Trump has all that material to hold over Kavanaugh. Seems to me, he probably did and does, being the mob boss he is. That struck me as actually the scary part.

    2. Would anyone ever have imagined it possible that an American president would be known to at least potentially have blackmailed an American Supreme Court Justice? I'll be interested to see if he is eventually proven to have done so.

  5. So far I have not had a report that my ballot has been received; alas, no instant gratification.

    2. Will there be a checkmark (so to speak) when it has been received, or only when it's checked off on the checklist?

    3. There is tracking from the time it is mailed to the time it is run through the counter.
