Yes to all the dates.

Speaking of Hillary, I can't wait to see what happens on The Daily Show tonight.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

No blackout in GR -- Lansing was affected, though.

Methinks end of day today for vote counting.

Polls close at 5 PM EST today.

Additional votes?

Hey, I'm the dictator Carville.

Let's let it go until tomorrow.

We need to here from the Canadians still. What about Beans?

What are we going to eat at the party? I was thinking of prime rib :smile:. Watching the traveling riot chew on rib bones would be fun. Maybe we could smoke it?

Dean:

Brilliant, Sir.

I believe the other two thirds of the T Riot are gainfully employed right now, but I think I may speak for us all here:

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

We should be able to get two full prime ribs on my smoker without any problem.

I just thought that if we smoke the prime ribs someone would have to watch the smoker and therefore wouldn't be able to go on the hayride. Maybe we could start it on the smoker and then finish in the oven. The way I cook my prime rib (Alton's method) takes about 6-8 hours.

If need be, I'll tend the smoker. :smile: If it's warm, I need Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. If it's cool, I need Maker's Mark. Everything else is all good.

"Most remarkable thing

How it seems to be spring

On the gloomiest kind of day;

How your wishes come true,

Or it seems as they do,

When you wish on a load of hay.

First, you're joggin' along

And the weather's all wrong,

And the heavens above are gray;

Then a genie appears

And it suddenly clears

When you wish on a load of hay.

That farmer boy wavin' "howdee-doo"

Has a wagon full of dreams for you.

Oh, it's perfectly fine

If you make the right sign,

And you know the right things to say;

There's a wonderful thrill

That is waiting to come your way,

'Round a bend in the road

When you wish on a load of hay."

Johnny Mercer
