Sorry. Clarence Thomas. Clarabell was a clown on the Howdy Doody show. Nobody under the age of 60 probably ever heard of that. Howdy Doody was a marionette dressed like a cowboy. Possibly the model for Woody in Toy Story. Dunno about that. I had a Howdy Doody marionette when I was 9 or 10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody

I’m bummed. I wanted to work as an elections judge for the Colorado primary election next month, but the assignment they offered is just not workable for me. It would require working a fairly demanding job for 8 hours on Monday, then 14 hours on Tuesday, and then 8 hours again on Wednesday. I’m 74. Maybe 20, or even 10 years ago, I could’ve done it, but I can’t in good conscience commit to being 100% for all those hours, and 100% is the minimum requirement for something this important. ☹️

An interesting side note to this is, the title for the position is Removal Judge, which seems to me to be a deliberate trigger for the MAGA conspiracy aficionados.
The job actually involves bipartisan teams

  • Verifying ballot envelope counts
  • Operating equipment that opens envelopes
  • Separating ballots from ballot envelopes
  • Preparing ballots for tabulation
    (Every ballot is in its own envelope, even if somebody votes in person it goes in an envelope.)

Pff what a day :sad_cat:

Hello and a good meowing :nkoWave:

This morning I woke up with a massive pain in my stomach that kept getting worse

With a bit of panic we rushed to the first aid but there they refused to help me since I had to go to the "doctor first" and take an asprin :nkoFacepalm2: (someone should lose their job)

So when looking for an alternative I could not hold it anymore and we called the ambulance on the parking place

So I went in the ambulance to the hospital today

Oh, man, I had one of those about 10-12 years ago. Those things hurt big time. Mine got stuck right where the bladder empties into the urethra. Between the oxycodone I took at home and the morphine they gave me in the ER, I was high af but still in pain. They had to go in with a mini-rotorooter to pull it out. Fun times. Glad you’re doing better now.

This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

The sky was so EXTRA tonight. I can never see a true sunset from our house because of the trees, but the sky was beautiful. I have not done a single thing to this photo. Also took a video. You can barely hear a barred owl at the beginning.

You and @DemocracySpot are reminding me to look at the sky more here where I am. We get some incredible cloudscapes and I never think to take pictures. I have the same problem with trees around my house, so I’m usually in the car when I see any good skies.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

This cartoonist seems to get it.

Cartoon by Waylon Bacon.
I like the conceptual complexity of this cartoon, on top of the social dynamic.
I think it’s cool that our viewpoint is actually from behind the two men, yet we see them from their front in the mirrored reflection. But because, apparently, we’re vampires, we don’t see our own reflection.
