Today is the 43rd anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the finest ships ever to ply the Great Lakes. Why did this ship sink, and how is it remembered today?

Made it through the week, and now it's vacation! Get to visit the family in Dallas. It'll be great to see everyone again.

This week has gone surprisingly well. Elections not bad, I was offered a speaking gig, new deal at my work, and my middle school class is going extremely well. Plus I get to see my nephews this weekend. Maybe things are looking up?

You need to join the Hippie Gay Space Communist Crushtrump Transgender Liberation HAM network.

Feeling OK today. My back treatment is working, elections not as bad as expected, and I'm taking a trip this weekend to see my nephews who I haven't seen in a long time. Things looking up?

@ND3JR Sorry for saying this, but that sounds like a very depressing hobby!

@ND3JR
Argh. Ham radio seems cool in the abstract, but an atmosphere of old white men babbling is a major turnoff. I bet they talk about how much they hate the gubbermint!

Libertarians got slaughtered especially in our state (Oregon). I hate Libertarians. Glad to see them brutally humiliated.

I heard the birdsite is a seething cauldron of rage today. I killed my account months ago, so glad to not have to see it!

I'm approaching this election day markedly different than 2016. I'm expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and am not stressed. I plan to consume very little news today. Physically I feel good because of my back treatment yesterday, and I got paid for my teaching gig, so I hope to maintain a good mood today.

Exercises won't help me. Mine is a bone condition, nothing to do with muscles.

One thing to remember going in to tomorrow (US elections): nothing can be reliably predicted anymore. We must all learn to live at a high level of uncertainty. Good luck tomorrow, stay safe, God bless, please vote.

So does red wine! 😃🍷

Had a second steroid shot for my back pain today. I'm now feeling the pain in other places (hips, knees, etc.) that I never noticed before because I was always focused on my back.

Wrote 10 pages on my new book this weekend! (No, I'm not doing that NaNoWriMo malarkey, as I write all year round). I'd say I'm about 70% done with this one. Productive weekend!

I feel that way sometimes about foreign words, particularly the German word "hosenbügler." I mean, how can that word really exist?
