As if all this wasn’t bad enough…Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen :

View this post on Instagram

Eddie Van Halen, the innovative guitarist behind the band Van Halen, has died of throat cancer at the age of 65. His son, Wolfgang, confirmed the news on Wednesday afternoon. “I can’t believe I’m having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning,” he wrote. “He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift.” Throughout his time leading the band, Van Halen was known for his virtuosity on the electric guitar, blending classical and rock techniques, and inventing wholly new approaches to solos. The band, which released a string of hit albums in the late 1970s and 80s, was one of the first hard rock bands to reach mainstream success and have sold more than 50 million albums.

Also…

Even that song will not lift my spirits, when we have the Madness of King Donnie Covid to face.

One last thought,

This is an open thread.

Stay safe…

    I got my acknowledgement about ten minutes ago. My ballot has been accepted and counted.
    I have help save the world, I can go back to bed.

      Ron, my ballot shows accepted on Oct. 2, but nothing about counted yet. I was checking the mvp.sos.ga.gov site. Do they send a notice when it’s counted?

        We signed up for something called BallotTrax Vote Alerts. They sent a text and voice mail.

        For questions they posted this number 770)443-7503.

        We are Paulding County, I don’t know if that is different from anywhere else.

        We also dropped off our ballots and the court house where we usually do early voting.

        We did not trust the Post Office.

          Oh wow I’m in deepest southeast Cobb near the Paulding line. I also drove my ballot to a ballot box. Thank you for the information – I will definitely check it out! They did say my ballot was “accepted” and not rejected.

        Although I’ve lived in Canada for 48 years, I vote in Georgia’s 5th District. (Yes, it was a great honour to vote for John Lewis!) This year, I sent both my ballot request, and my completed ballot by Express Post so I could track its arrival. My ballot arrived at its destination on Monday, but now it’s in a black hole because I have no way of knowing if it has been accepted and counted. I tried the mvp.sos.ga.gov link and it went nowhere. Any other ideas?

      Good for you. I’m still waiting for mine.

      That’s great! I’m itching to get my ballot, even though we’re in a blue state.

    JJ – you have given me a real boost with the tweet from Jon Cooper about Dump being advised to resign. He’s probably too stupid and vain to do it, but even Junior was worried about him last night so maybe they’re staging an intervention. He hasn’t poked his head out since Monday.

    Here’s a tweet I liked from Preet Bharara:

    Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) Tweeted:
    I like a president who is not Patient Zero. Or Individual 1.

      Hmm my effort to post that tweet didn’t work either.

      Trying one more (sorry for the flood of comments):

      Got that from commentators at TPM. Hilarious – apparently the raccoons are taking over the WH. Really. Raccoons.

    Nobel Prize in chemistry awarded to two women

    A pair of scientists — Jennifer A. Doudna, a biochemist at the University of California at Berkeley, and Emmanuelle Charpentier, a French microbiologist — won the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work developing a revolutionary gene-editing tool that can change the DNA of plants and animals with extraordinary precision. The technique, called CRISPR -Cas9, is already being used as a cancer therapy and to cure inherited diseases.

    “This year’s prize is about rewriting the code of life,” said Goran K. Hansson, secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

    This was the first time two women jointly won a Nobel in chemistry. “I wish that this will provide a positive message, specifically, to young girls who would like to follow the path of science,” Charpentier told reporters Wednesday morning.

    Watching the debate. VP Pence has Covid-red eyes. I would not be surprised if he has it.
