Election Night

 


I know that I said that I wasn't going to watch the election results tonight in real time. I meant it when I said that, too. 

And then I thought, just one little peak just to see how it is going...one hour later I was making an emergency run for oreos. 

I dunked my oreos in my glass of milk. 





I had to turn the television off. It's hard to get away from it. It's all over the internet too. 



Guess I'll got to bed. Reading a great book. "There's a River in the Sky" (Elif Shafak).

  1. I hate all the hype that comes with any election, and bad mouthing of opponents. Just count the votes then do the announcement.
    And as for the speeches and crowing and gloating....

  2. It is rare for my to turn off news and current affairs in the evening, but I have now. It is all too depressing. Lalalala, I'm hearing nothing.

  3. One thing is certain and that is that half the country will be unhappy and the other half jubilant.

  8. We tried. I won't be watching the news much now. I'm afraid it's always going to be like this. Politics have changed. Thank God I'm as old as I am, so I don't have to live under a dictator very long.

  9. I swore to myself I wouldn't watch the returns and went to bed early. However, when I woke up at 1:30 the news had not called the election for Trump yet, but he was already giving his victory speech. I could not watch and will not watch today. The black ribbons that were tied on my dining chairs after his last win will once again return there. It feels as if we should be in mourning for our country. Phillis, from the red miasma

  11. I watched it for a few hours but I could see which way the tides were flowing. I went to bed and woke up about an hour after it was called. I think the results are full of lessons that sadly will go unnoticed and we will be repeating them again four years from today.

  12. I'm sorry for your country and for all its neighbours. Not to mention the planet. I feel sick this morning.

  13. I'm sick about it. Watch the news? Not me, for at least ten years now. I read it but still won't be watching and hearing that bloated carcass. Hate has won.

  14. I've read one of her books (10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World) and loved it. I need to read more.

  15. It's a great disappointment and one I can't understand. Would we want a guy like Trump in one of our elementary school class rooms?

I'm glad you're here!

It seems as if our snow is done, at least for this round. Tim went up to go hunting. He got another deer, so he's pretty pleased. Do we ...
