Thanks for your recco on "The Expanse" series. I looked it up on Libby, found it to be my style, and put a hold on "Leviathan Wakes." It's about a 14 week wait at my library. Thanks, H&D.

"Look for Me There" is a lovely book on the very difficult topic of a parent's death, in this case, the notable host of "Meet the Press," Tim Russert. πŸ“š Love you, Luke. πŸ’™

πŸ’™πŸ“š Book Recco πŸ“šπŸ’™ "Wool" popped up in one of my searches, and being a knitter 🧦🧣, it was an obvious choice. Knitting & audiobooks are my afternoon choice when temps are >90Β°. This dystopian novel is taut with well-drawn characters. I'm so glad it's the first of a trilogy. Lucky me... and you.

Can we all agree to no longer use the figure of speech "pull the trigger?" Please. Also, be aware of the meaning of "literally." There is literally (truly or actually) no mention of firing a gun anywhere in the text of the 25th Amendment. Thank you.

My Mom had a small oval yellow plastic wastebasket that she had us kids use. Thanks for the memories of one of us sitting on the floor with the wastebasket between our knees, waiting to barf. Good times!

Dems, I look at it this way, our choices are: 1. Biden 2. Harris 3. 34x Convicted Felon 4. Some dream-Dem w/no campaign war chest, no state infrastructure, no existing polling numbers against YKW, etc. What's our best play, here? C'mon.

Read Randall Monty's story below. We all want good lives for our babies, don't we? We build our society one person, family, community, and generation at a time. Don't vote for folks who strip funding from school lunch programs to give billionaires more tax breaks. Toward a more perfect union.

Dan Shafer, who are you proposing to replace Joe Biden at this late date? You know, a candidate that is well-liked, able to get on the ballots of all 50 states, has a war chest for a federal election, and polls well against Trump. Who is this person? (Hint: Person is named in the first paragraph.)
