happy halloween

Yes Beagles we know all that,  Also worth noting is that the chief justice of the supreme court will be presiding over the senate proceedings, and as he has shown himself to be somewhat independent and concerned with the dignity of the court he may well impede McConnell's attempts to sabotage the whole thing and get it over with quickly.  Of course that remains to be seen.

And some of my ilk have come to think that there is a slim chance that Trump could be removed from office, and I tend to agree, agreeing also on the emphasis on slim.  I think a lot of the top rep sens really don't like Trump, and would be glad to be rid of him and give the white ghost some time in office to burnish his bona fides before the 2020 election.  Backstabbing the Kurds has not gone well with them though that outrage has died to nothing in the present.  The current trashing of decorated military generals has recently drawn some ire.

I guess neither of those is enough to move the needle, but as the noose tightens around the orange neck his behavior becomes increasingly bizarre so maybe he will shoot that guy on Fifth Avenue and, well I said it was a slim chance.


The pumpkins are resting on the 20th floor awaiting their grisly ends by sharp knives wielded by squealing kids.  Well mostly by their parents or grandparents.  Carving a pumpkin is hard work for little hands and soon the knives fall into the hands of the elders as the kiddies gorge themselves on Halloween candy.

And Halloween candy is not what it was.  Candy corn inexplicably remains but circus peanuts are gone as are those kisses wrapped in orange and black crinkly paper, and the mainstream candy made to look like pumpkins and tombstones or whatever, they just don't seem to bother.  Mostly it is just big bags of miniature candy bars, and I guess that's ok because the kiddies are not nostalgic and are just after the loot. 

Well Happy Halloween guys
