November 1 is Tuesday. Can you believe it? Time sure flies when you’re having fun…
Everybody likes him so well, thought I’d make a reusable block for him.
If you’re in the US and Canada, be advised that Daylight Saving Time ends next Sunday, November 6, at 2 AM. Most people just set their clocks back one hour before they go to bed. The clocks in my house adjust themselves automatically, so I’m already ahead of the game. I saw a meme that said "getting an extra hour in 2022 is like getting a bonus track on a Yoko Ono album."
Gott sei Dank, we’re almost done with the election on November 8, meaning we’re close to not seeing any more campaign ads that a couple of billion dollars have purchased, most of which are a variation on "don’t vote for X, he’s an @$$hole. Vote for Y, he’s not an @$$hole." Here in Georgia, for a candidate to win an election outright, he must receive at least 50% of the vote. If not (which usually happens because some @$$hole pulls a Ross Perot and runs as a Libertarian or a Green), we’re subjected to another month of campaign ads for the two people who got the most votes in the general election. Personally, I think elections are a waste of time: I say we have a competition like the Hunger Games or Thunderdome.

We just went through our mayor elections. I had to laugh about the Hunger Games😄. You have way too much length of time for all this voting hoopla when so many don’t vote. They have no idea how important it truly is unless they are voting for something about the Kardashiasses. I wonder how many cars are left..that French car. They were going very fast..I was waiting for the cop. I like the 2 different horns though.

I’ll be glad when the elections are over too! I’m sick of the Robocalls, text messages, and clutter in my mailbox. I don’t like elections and I don’t like the time change. So there! End of rant.

I haven’t been getting the robocalls, but I’ve gotten a bunch of texts, and will always send a STOP message to them. Sometimes I get a confirmation, sometimes I don’t… The TV ads are especially obnoxious this time around, and I’m glad I have an adblocker to block the ads on YouTube.

You had a great week, John. We voted early, I am over all the political robo calls. What a waste of money politics have become.
