Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing.

This is your best photo of the event, NoName. I love it. And you are handsome. I wouldn't do you, of course, but I'm sure somebody would.
NJ is an absolute mess. Things are really bad. We have no power, no television, no radio, no internet, no landlines, no cell phone service, no texts, no emails, no form of communication whatsoever - nothing.
And the roads are awful. Trees & power lines are down, blocking streets, no traffic lights work...ect.
We probably won't have power for at least a week.
Luckily I was able to escape NJ with my son and and we made it to PA safely, to my brothers house where we have POWER and INTERNET and SHOWERS. Thank fuck.
We haven't had TorT yet. Saturday unless it snows. ;-)
