Where did all the Macintosh apples go?

 MacIntosh, nice and crisp, sweet, good tasting apple.  Used to be most common in supermarkets.  Something happened and now all the markets have are apples with weird names.  And the weird name apples are mealy, not much crisp to them, not very sweet.  A low speed apple.  Bring back the MacIntoshes.

Gloves, color there of

 Now that Fall is upon us and it's getting cold, I see Trump wearing gloves to keep his hands warm.  Only Trump wears black leather gloves, that make his hands nearly invisible.  Trump uses his hands while speaking, gestures and the like.  Except we cannot see the hand gestures.  I recommend that Trump get himself a lighter colored pair.  Nice tan deerskin gloves like I wear for skiing and for driving.

Are there any never-Biden democrats??

 There ought to be.  It's obvious to anyone that Biden is too old, too frail, and too confused to make a good president.  His spoken plans, green new deal, ending fossil fuels, another national wide lockdown, more free stuff, terrible tax hikes. spell economic catastrophe.  If he dies in office, or gets booted via 25th amendment, Kamala Harris, the ultimate far lefty becomes president.  

   Surely there are some democrats who fear this enough to withhold a Biden vote, or even, gulp, vote for Trump.  Could there be as many as 1%?  Or even 5%?

Postmark? What Postmark?

 All this talk about ballots postmarked by election day make me wonder.  And a court case about ballots that come in without a date. I get a lot of mail.  Some of it doesn't have a post mark at all.  Some of it has a post mark, but no date. The ones that went thru a Pitney Bowes postage meter have a date in the postmark.  How does one make sure his ballot gets a postmark with a date? 

  The date in the Pitney Bowes postmark is the date the company processed that batch of bulk mail.  Want to bet that mail doesn't get to the real post office for a day or two after the company processed it?  Or more?  

A lotta trashing of political opponents happening

 Scanning down my Facebook feed I get a Yuge number of political ads.  Most of which explain why the opponent is a no-good-nick.  OK, and I read them, but I figure the charges are over rated, if not down right false.  Nobody is running ads of the "If elected I will do this and that and the other thing to make your lives better."  It is easier to believe campaign promises.  As it is, if we elect any of these turkeys we have no idea what they might do in office.  Sad.

Who is going to win???

 

 I simply do not know. The polls suggest that Biden has a small to moderate lead. They said this last time, and were predicting a Hillary win right up until the last minute. The polls have some problems. They run a 1000 call telephone poll and get 100 sets of replies. The pollsters have to boil all those numbers down to a duality, votes for Trump, votes for Biden. To do this, they get the figures for Republican and Democrat registration for the district. Then they adjust the count, to match what they expect.

And there is the problem of the shy Trump voter. The left is so unpleasant toward Republicans that many of them simply refuse to express any party affiliation at all, not even to pollsters. Between all these factors, I believe the polls could be seriously in error.

And I see Trump rallies with tens of thousands of cheering people. I don't see any Biden rallies at all. Surely all that good Trump enthusiasm will show up in the election.

The Great Debate

Meh.  Neither Trump nor Biden made a serious gaffe.  I would rate it as a draw.  The two candidates did not interrupt each other like they did the last time.  An improvement.  Both guys threw out a lot of "facts", which I could not check, and in many cases I had never heard of before.  It is hard to evaluate arguments when the "facts" thrown out in support might be real and might be phony.  Biden denied taking any money from the Russians.  That's hard to believe.  If Hunter Biden received $3.5 mil from the Russians I cannot imagine that he did not split the take with "the big guy".  Nobody has denied the story about Hunter's Russian payoff.  Silence gives assent.  If they don't deny it, it is probably true.  Fox news has 12 days to check out Biden's "facts" and label some, or all of them false.  Unless Fox convinces us voters that Biden was telling really ugly whoppers, I think this much bally-hooed debate won't have much effect on the election.
