This week went by fast. I guess painting every night will do that. Moving in this weekend. 5 YO and wife start skating lessons. And 4 YO gets his tonsils out on Monday. Poor thing. But this will hopefully make a big difference in his regular bouts of strep, some of which set off the seizures.

You really see it in the main discourses of the day. It's all folks at each other throats instead of goofier stuff like it largely was over the summer. Can't figure out what's changed though, the news seems to be improving for us tbh

It's kind of amazing there isn't a Bob Ross museum somewhere. Or at least a Bob Ross room at a museum.

A bunch of the original Bob Ross paintings were up for auction recently. I would have bought them and donated them to a museum for display to the public.

In HS I wanted to redo a truck for my first car, bought an F100. Never got it particularly roadworthy, but a few years ago my parents sold it back to the guy I bought it from because he finally had a good enough job and time to restore it. I'd probably buy that back. And my grandpa's truck too.

I think the real finding from surveys like this is that a lot of self-pitying rich people don't know what "paycheck to paycheck" means. If you are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on voluntary expenditures like prep school tuition, you don't count. finance.yahoo.com/economy/arti...

More than a third of Americans earning over $500,000 say they’re living paycheck to paycheck, Goldman Sachs finds
Nearly half of $500K-plus households pay only the minimum on their credit cards, and 80% have put off a major financial goal—more than middle earners on both counts.

Michele Tafoya following her debate today: "There is no excuse for the spike in crime that we have seen here in Minnesota that has families and parents and businesses worried." Violent crime in Minnesota dropped 9.3% last year and murder was down 25%. This year, homicides have dropped another 25%.

Again, many progressives in Congress were some of the quickest to endorse Kamala, and before her Biden. This is because they knew how to play ball, and Biden was the most labor-friendly WH Democrat in more than half a century
