A rainy day during Covid

It's supposed to rain all day and I am stuck at home. So far,  I've been looking at Youtube. My latest find is about thirty days on antidepressants. Oh that couple that used to travel in Europe is working on their van. 

Turn on the tv.  Drew Barrymore is showing pumpkin recipes. Never a good idea when a talk show starts doing cooking segments. It usually means they're stretching to kill time. The next day Drew is dressed like the good witch of the East. Over the top. 

Netflix is showing the Queen's Gambit. Not bad, even if you don't know anything about chess. I love it in movies when the characters drink bottles of beer and don't burp. 

Every other commercial on tv is for a political candidate. I love political advertising. Myself, like most people, already voted. Today it's supposed to clear out so I can go shopping. Time to buy Halloween candy. 

Never put anything in writing

 In a previous life I was a big shot in a local public library. We had a new young director who wrote a rather complicated memo on weekend parking. I wittily wrote a satire on the memo and passed it around the staff. Said director saw the memo. She complimented me on my wit but said I should be careful in the future about putting satires of library policy in writing. A snide remark in the breakroom is fine but putting things in writing can lead to a fall. 

This takes us to the North Carolina Senate race. Apparently the married Democratic opponent sent out some flirtatious texts that found its way to the front pages of a North Carolina newspaper. Never a good idea. Politicians also need to be wary of cell phones that can turn into cameras. Candidates for public office and office wits should know better.
