Today is the last day I wake up in the dark because we get to turn back the clocks this evening and give ourselves an extra hour’s sleep. Of course I have probably failed, once again, to teach the animals how to tell time so I’m sure that extra hour will be spent trying to convince them that it isn’t breakfast time, yet. Eventually, of course, I will give up and feed them but the very idea that I have that extra hour will continue to be a pleasant thought.

As a old lefty, I am incapable of being confident about an election, especially after the many demonstrations of election stealing and slimy voter suppression by the Republicans. Just as they claim to be the most Christian while behaving in the least Christian manner, they claim to be the most freedom loving and democracy protecting while destroying every instance of freedom and democracy they can.

But, I continue to hope and hold my breath. Election day is coming up fast.
