   I heard someone say today that people don’t support him for what he will do FOR them; they support him for what he will do TO whoever they don’t like. I don’t know how true that is, but it makes as much sense to me as any other theory.

   Early voting started today in NC, and almost everyone in the line with me was of retirement age (I’m only 57). I sincerely hope that many of them feel as you lovely commenters do about the situation, because I am terrified for myself and even more so for my kids and grands.

   My grandparents’ house had one that led to the backyard. I loved it. When my mom inherited the house, she had it taken out and replaced with a modern door and screen.

   Burn them and sit out on your lawn chair watching the fire while wearing your “Don’t let the old man win” t-shirt.

   Older ones don’t. Newer ones are much less reiliable and selling well on the old reputation.

    Marie Kondo told her to get rid of it; it didn’t spark enough joy. Minimalism and sentimentality are mortal enemies, and minimalism is trending.
