    A note to my friends

    The upper decks have become not only ridged, they are approaching toxic and I have no interest in continuing as part of that. Possibly, after the election is past, things will return to a more healthy level of discussion.

    Until then---I'll be hanging out down here---so move over Ben

    Do hope you comment once in a while. Thinking it's going to be weeks before we get a handle on who won.

    Yeah I bite my tongue and hold my nose when on the upper deck. No real pont in venturing then except when I have to.

    Back from a week at the beach.. a COVID ruled week.. did carry out four times, ate in camper the rest..

    I’m also below decks ..

    ‘Nuff said for now...

    BTW.. just back from four daze in North Carolina.. seems that every elected office in the state is on the November ballot.. none of the candidates tv ads told of what they would do, rather they told of what a “scum puppy” their opponents were.. some were very cleaver and amusing but the depths that our political system has spiraled down to is heartbreaking..

    That's because they don't have a plan or a clue. they are all "post turtles"
