in A Moving Train
I'd like to be put in a coma for the next 8 days.

That is all.
I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

    Watching the psychology and the building tension/panic on both sides is kind of interesting. I dvr nearly all of my TV so I don't watch those horrible ads.

    I need to quit watching / reading the news. My head hurts

    Don't go to sleep! It will be like going down a fast steep slide into a pit of vipers. Wouldn't want to miss any of that action!

    I guess I am going to spend the next 8 days looking at real estate in Victoria, BC. Seems like the only affordable place in Canada with a halfway decent climate.

    Victoria's a great town. What's rent for a reasonable 1 bedroom apt, out of curiosity?

    Victoria is absolutely beautiful! What a great town!

    I felt good and bad and perplexed about voting today (voted by mail). Good because I knew I had done well spending a lot of time studying the candidates and issues and voted to the best of my ability. Bad because some of the choices suck. Perplexed because I don't see much resolution to the fact that only a small percentage of the populous takes voting seriously enough to vote with much understanding of the candidates or issues. Too many who vote purely by party. And add to that the difficulty of understanding some of the propositions. We had a shit load of then here in California this years and as usual, some were difficult to fully understand.

    southern ontario is ok. but they call in the army if they get a few snowflakes.

    anywhere on the west coast within sight of the ocean is only affordable to those who never plan on retiring.

    when i say decent, i mean not winnipeg. so pretty much most of the planet north of the south pole and south of the north pole is decent.

    i was in the toronto area in december. barely any slush. i consider that summer.

    Well since I hail from Regina I consider summer anything that doesn't resemble snow in anyway whatsoever.
    Also, winterpeggers wouldn't know what winter is if it hit their nostrils.

    um, winnipeg is well known as one of the most extreme populated places on the planet.

    regina is known for rhyming with vagina.

    Holy crap!!! That took the top of my head right off. That song is one the pinnacles of PJ music for me anyway but to see this video- speechless in heaven, holy shit!

    The next seven days should be nothing, it's the next four years I worry about.

    I have more Bernie supporters posting anti-Hillary stuff than Trump supporters. I am not looking forward to November 9.
    I'm through with screaming

    My anti-Hillary friends post stuff all the time but generally it is quite humorous. Relax you guys, Trump doesn't want the job and Hillary has it in the bag. I would be more concerned about post-election day stress when international relations become stressed, fracking and big oil continue to harm the environment and the public's slacking confidence in government escalates. Save your Tums for future days.

    I see your 8 days and raise you 4 or 8 years. We're FUBAR either way. I voted for Bernie in the primaries and will vote for Stein so don't blame me. Canada would be nice if either assclown gets in.
