Good morning and happy All Saints Day.  Little OR’s trick-or-treat haul from last night was 192 individual pieces of candy (including a few assorted small toys, etc.).

In the news: 

President Joey Gravitas, speaking in Rome, Italy, ad libs about “makes the trains run on time”:

Hash browns are one of those things that sound better than they usually turn out to be.

I rather like them.  Even the Mickey D's version.  But I rarely eat them. 

And now my stomach is reminding me that I haven't had breakfast yet...

I have no idea, of course, if this rumor is true, but I'm enjoying the memes; my new favorite being "ShartWeek".

HA! Maybe we should start that as another meme, although it requires knowing history to get. Let's Go Brandon requires none of that.

So...who will choose Virginia's governor tomorrow?  The "Old Dominion" voters, or Dominion voting machines?

Oh, I think that answer is way too obvious. The question is, will the vote fraud be obvious?

Oh, we've got trouble, my friends
We've got terrible, terrible trouble!
Right here in Diversity!
We've got trouble with a capital T
And that's part of CRT
That we stand for in school!

In #12 Kosh's Shadow said: Israelis and Hebrew speakers worldwide have been mocking the recent change of Facebook Inc's name to "Meta."  The name in question, in Hebrew, is the conjugation of the feminine form for "dead" in both present and past tenses, leading many social media users who speak the language to ridicule the rebrand, leading to the hashtag '#FacebookDead.' 

HA!!! Professional companies run by pros actually check on whether the marketing term they want to use is a problem in a likely target population. #FacebookFail.

It's the Common-Wealth of Virginia, so obviously it's destined for socialism...

May I share the inner snicker I've been concealing these past weeks, each time I've heard a Prog smugly referring to the upcoming climate shindig in, and I quote, "GLASS-gowww"?

Day started with hearing a continuous beep from my office when I went to take the dogs out. Had to wait until they did their business to investigate.

UPS - battery failed. Cannot silence it, so I had to move the devices it powered (2 NAS storage devices and the network router) to other power strips and turn it off.

Then a computer had a driver update. Failed. Failed again - the driver is not digitally signed and Win11 won't install it. Contacted Dell, and at least they know they have to fix it.
