Here's a depressing article from John Harwood....

The political world eagerly awaits results from Tuesday's Virginia gubernatorial race, but they won't yield much new information about 2022 and beyond.

Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin has run a strong race in a Democratic-trending state -- which, if that translates into victory, would match Virginia's longstanding pattern of rewarding the party that lost the White House the year before. A Youngkin victory would be no surprise, though polls generally show a close race with Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe.
Republicans nationally are poised for gains in next year's midterm elections - reflecting the nation's longstanding pattern of rewarding the party that lost the White House two years before. So long as Americans remain uneasy about the pandemic, the economy, and President Joe Biden's leadership, Democrats stand to lose control of Congress whether or not McAuliffe manages to keep the Virginia governor's mansion in his party's hands.

Saw my first *RUMP 2024 SIGN. 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 on my way to Winona MN.......

We live just across the Mississippi River from La Crosse WI, and we do switch from La crosse/Winona shopping, so I did decide to go to Winona’s Farm and Fleet for whole cashews and bought a couple of bags. The sign from *rump 2020 HAS BEEN CHANGED TO *RUMP 2024. 🤬 🤬 🤬

Christine......another Stephen King epic....and pretty well done.

Lotsa of Stephen’s novels are very hard to get on the screen….and when they arrive, the don’t always match the storyline of Stephens writings. Christine was a very good adaptation of what the novel was. Loved it.
