"So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all...”

The sky is now overcast with the smoke from the fires a couple of mountains over. First it turned this weird color of dark orange, and now it's like twilight out there.
We're OK so far, but Zsuzs' mom had to evacuate.
Supposed to be a major heat wave this weekend, forecast for 105 degrees in the little town down the hill, I'm sure big fun for the firefighters braving the goddamn apocalypse to come out on Labor Day weekend and try to save our asses.
Meanwhile, Fergus' mouth seems to never take a day off, and unless I'm forgetting something, this seems like the first time that "let me distract you with the latest scandal from the major atrocity we're perpetrating" has fully blown up in his face.
So perhaps there still are some folks out there who value things more than Fergus values money or clout.
And good on Howard Dean for breaking out the swear word on Twitter.
All of the things we knew they would pull out for the election are now being pulled out, and the lack of surprise on our side has been matched with some already thought out strategies from folks like Indivisible, so that is, if not heartening, at least less anxiety provoking.
Sleep on the floor for a couple of days? Shit, I slept on the floor for most of five years. Granted, I had a US Forest Service sleeping bag that I got from my dad, with a flannel lining, and a little rolled up chunk of foam rubber to go beneath it, but beds are furniture, and furniture gets in the way of amplifiers, and then people want to sit on the furniture and tell you to turn down your amplifiers, and on and on, and that's why my friend Jack used to say that furniture is the work of the devil; it stops you from making that joyful noise unto the lord.
Thank you again for the podcast. I know we're not in any real danger, but having the sun turn orange and go the fuck out is stressful, damn it.

Don't have to say be safe and alert. But, do that.
Have a friend nearing being asked to evacuate. He rented a small U Haul and loaded up his most prized valuables. If the word comes, he is ready to go without a total loss.
The fires aren't fun. I lived in Calif and as a member of the national guard was called out to fight the fired on occasions. Seen the devastation first hand and had some success in fighting back fires.
Don't rely on our President who has jurisdiction over the federal lands (forests) and doesn't rake and vacuum his own forest floors.
It seems Trump supporters now have to watch movies like the "Great Escape" secretly or be a RINO or a Liberal.
No self loathing QANON'er would b caught dead enjoying a war movie where POW"S (Trump doesn't like from his pedestal of 5 deferments), to stay in Goose Step loyalty.
It is the new GOP patriotic sacrifice for Putin's chosen one.
meanwhile, kamala Harris asks, do you really trust the guy who told you to inject disinfectants?
So get out there and get your boats in the water for the Trump boat parade. And enjoy that socialism when it comes and rescues you as your boats sink.
Captains of sinking boats choosing a president does not instill much confidence in their superior choice.
