The neighborhood over here is looking like a swamp, especially the parts where new houses are being built. Hope the new neighbours like their swimming pools, it reminds me of an episode of "Location Location" where they showed a house with a swimming pool under the living room.
Luckily our plot seems to be well drained, no trouble here.

More obligatory Dilbert
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I recall an incident in which some colleagues had a video conference with execs, one calling for business attire. When they stood up at the end of the call, their shirts and ties were revealed to be complemented by Hawaiian shorts.

It is enlightening to find out just where they can sell that sort of stuff.
As for "complimented by" - obviously a jest on your part for an impossible scenario.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Today is a slow day. Amazon project of mine got put on hold, so today is more or less a monitor-the-systems kind of day.
On the bright side, I recently got some friends hooked on Factorio on PC, and that's been quite the adventure. Certainly makes my evenings a bit more exciting.

I haven't seen the sun in days. chance of snow all week.
Hopefully it clears over the weekend.

It's just that all the smog has been washed out of the air. Don't expect it to last...
In Israel, we have one day in autumn (fall for USians) when almost all commercial activity stops and the smog over Tel Aviv clears - the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). That is the only day of the year when it is barely possible to see the sea from where I live (about 30 km inland, 200 m above sea level).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

That's strangely beautiful, in spite of the smog.

Well, Trump is no longer president but I'm still sad and bitter.....

America is fundamentally f***ed. If I lived there I would leave.

TBH, I'm working on it but it's taking some doing. It will be a few years before we're well positioned to enter Canada.

*sigh* I have a number of American friends, all trying to work out their exist strategy.

Yeah.
Our society is pretty sick. I predict full scale fascism, probably inside 8 years unless a civil war derails it.
It's a sad day when I'm hoping for civil war.
I don't want to leave. I'd be leaving behind the only family I'm close to, a friend of 30 years, and various and sundry other loved ones. I feel like I'm abandoning them. I know I will feel sick keeping up on American affairs from abroad. Assuming I do get in to canada, I'll feel terrible for the advantages I had that I couldn't grant my own brother or sister, or all of my friends that are racial, ethnic, gender, or sexual minorities - people I'm close to and/or people that will suffer american fascism the hardest.
I don't want to leave. But I don't think I can stay.

Yeah, I would feel the same, we are definitely sliding into fascism, and even today, 74 million people voted for Trump and a great many insist he must have won. This won't end easily
