And the morn dawned clear and chill after the night of the living dead

No apparent damage from the night riots.

Some day I may yet meet the traitorous scoundrel who published our street name as a good place for Hallow'een.  Will proceed with slow strangulation, possibly using freshly-extracted intestines as an implement . . .

And, speaking of terror from the grave . . .

Still getting robocalls.

OTOH, got a live caller from the local Democratic Party folks yesterday.  I seized the day, so to speak, informing the poor lady on the other end that the massive barrage of calls is more likely to cause voters to switch to the opposing party . . .

I did not use rude or crude language.  You should congratulate me on my restraint.

I wonder if anyone in either party has examined the parallel with WWI trench warfare, where massive rolling barrages of heavy artillery had little effect.  Even "walking" the shells just ahead of advancing infantry didn't work.
