Write about anything you want... except the election results. I'll put up a dedicate post for that.

Why is the Fox News broad wearing a Kentucky Fried Chicken uniform?

I recommend the movie "Lost on a Mountain in Maine" now in theaters. Good story based on true events in 1939. But I also recommend that you read the book, available on Amazon. The movie makes up things that aren't in the book, and it leaves out important things that are in the book. It makes me think about how we remember our history and tell stories about it.

Today we had the fourth visit from an appliance repairman in as many weeks, which ended in his third defeat at the foot of the dishwasher.

When we renovated our kitchen in '17 ('16? how time flies) we got a nice Kitchenaid dishwasher, which has given good service until shortly before my overseas trip last month. We noticed that it appeared to be running without water and set up a repair visit when I got back.

The first time, the young guy found that the water valve wasn't working properly and ordered another one, which they had to wait on. A week later he came with the new part, put it in, and watched it still not work. He left the new part in without charging us the $200-odd dollars.

Had to be the command unit. He came a week later with a new one--which didn't help. He left it in without charging us the $400-odd dollars.

Had to be the wiring underneath. Today he replaced the old wiring with the new--which didn't help. Now we're up to about $600.00 but he can't charge us for parts and labor because he didn't fix the problem.

Twelve years of experience and thousands of repairs, and he's never seen the like.

We'll probably replace the whole machine now. My wife has regained her proficiency at washing dishes for two people and a dog, but she has to do it several times a day, and who needs that?

So a few days ago I had cleaned up the yard and bagged the leaves, four whole yard waste bags full. Two days later it looked like I had done nothing. I'm always surprised how many leaves there are in fall.

Leaf-raking is sisyphean. I only try to keep the porch and patio clear, and only after I'm sure the great bulk of dead matter has descended. It has barely started here.

I do minimal raking itself. Most of my leaf pick up is with the mower.

Speaking of women who are "finger lickin' good": if you want to see the most tasteless (but not technically obscene) LP album cover ever, search "Dennis Coffey Finger Lickin Good" on eBay. I worked in a record store when it came out ~1977 and still remember seeing it for the first time.
