Election still up in the fetid air this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — at this particular point Joe Biden has 264 electoral votes after Michigan and Wisconsin dropped on his side, while the sour-faced, tantrum-pitching T-Rump has 214 and hanging. Joe needs one more to take-back the Oval Office. Meanwhile, off…
Here we are Wednesday, the morning after the night of freak.

Most-excellent view of positions in the chain and empathy (great h/t Miss Cellania): A little together in diversity as shown by this study on integration in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2002 (Washington Post this morning): ‘When the share of minorities grew in schools by 10 percentage points during the formative elementary and middle-school years, white…
Hot this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, a few tiny gusts of much-appreciated wind flows occasionally through allowing it to be manageable, but most-definitely on the ‘right‘ or ‘left of comfortable.
