So true.
BTW, Isaac Saul's Tangle had a piece about how crazy the polls are right now. I don't think it's behind a paywall.

Two Sullivans in Alaska -
Weird weatherWe've been having phenomenally lovely fall weather, much warmer than usual. This morning started out sunny but the clouds rolled in. A few minutes ago we heard a rumbling noise. Thought it was the neighbor moving her garbage toter around, but the noise lasted for a long time. Checked local radar and see this:
Pop-up showers!
edit: The sun is out again....

Sweet story for the dayIt involves a kitten and a kind-hearted air traveler.

Another general bites the dustDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the Pentagon's top military planner, several sources confirmed to CBS News late Wednesday.
Sylvia's firing comes as President Trump weighs resuming strikes against Iran after the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
Sylvia was removed as head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Staff, and was coordinating the Iran battle plan. Sylvia is the second general during Hegseth's tenure to be removed from what is known as a "J5" post, which is the lead on how the Iran war affects long-term planning.
Sylvia's predecessor, Lt. Gen. Joseph McGee, was forced to retire in October 2025.

WorriedI'm a bit nervous myself but am trying to stay hopeful. The GOP and Trump have had a bunch of judges push back on the carp. And states aren't going to roll over and give in to them.

Two Sullivans in AlaskaHaven’t seen the new evidence that the candidate was behind it.
Peltola's campaign manager told the NYT that it happened. Times says they saw emails and texts. Then she told the Times she didn't want the story she told them to be published.

Cruise failThey bought cabins to live on a luxury cruise ship. High fuel costs got them kicked off in Cambodia.

Health concernOnions are on the trigger list, but they don’t bother me at all as long as they are cooked. Raw onions don’t agree with me, but I don’t like them, so no loss there.
You just kind of have to experiment and see what does and doesn’t agree with you. The list in the link I provided in the earlier post is a good starting point.
