Trump obviously isn't well, so how long after a cabinet is installed before Vance 25As himself into the office? I'd have guessed before Trump can insist on tariffs; but if Musk winds up in control, he's stated he *wants* to collapse the economy then rebuild on a bitcoin base.

Wish I wasn't this close to Medicare age. Tough future ahead, no way around it.

Finally they grabbed last week's leaves! But they pushed a bunch back up into my yard in the process. I'll deal with those and the other half of my neighbor's yard if/when it ever stops raining.

The guy on the other side would do that half along with his yard, but he passed away a few years ago. I've never asked if she's noticed her leaves magically vanish each year.

I live near the local poll but haven't loved getting blown away and/or drenched in general election lines. I went for Michigan's new(ish) early voting option. Here it means driving to the next town; I gave it a few days then trundled over before ten.

Wow, a lot of people! So I still had to stand in line, lol. Someone grabbed my spot as soon as I pulled out, too. Honestly, Michigan should have had this long ago.

Right-side neighbor has been setting up an enormous dog pen in the little side yard.

Previously: Left-side neighbor threatened to call the cops after the dog went after her grandkid. Back-side family's kiddo no longer plays in their backyard. A tense situation for everyone in this vicinity.

Thing is, they'd finally tied a leash by their steps -- but they often didn't use it, hence issues. Guess we'll see if they actually use this new thing.

My sister has been doing her migratory summer teaching thing. Previously she was in Ohio. Then Pennsylvania. And now Rhode Island. I'd thought she was road-tripping in the Rialta, but she told me today she'd left it with the keys for my brothers to use.

Uh huh. They hate camping. I doubt it'll be gaining much mileage.
