God and Donald move in mysterious ways their wonders to perform! Yes, yes, of course there is a difference between God and Donald although the latter may doubt it! Anyway, God, for reasons unknown to me, has unleashed the dreaded 'Covid-lurgi' on us all probably because we have all been very naughty boys and girls! Donald, on the other hand (well, he sits on the right-hand of God!) has taken swift advantage of the death of that old 'Leftie' harridan who occupied a seat on the Supreme Court and swiftly appointed another lady to the post but this one comes with impeccable Right-wing views. Apparently, this will clinch a Right-wing majority at the Supreme Court for years. Jolly good show, Donald!
Labour lead in poll: Not, I hasten to add, that I place that much confidence in political polls. Even so, I would rather not read of a 3% Labour lead over the Tories! Surely, the Tory 'grandees' must see that Boris is a dead loss as a leader and that Rishi is the man for the job. So, just get on with it, chaps, and don't think that Boris will be hurt because, according to reports, he is feeling a severe financial pinch as PM and he would earn 'zillions' more in the private sector.
An apology to my American friends: As I have reported some time ago, this bloody-bloody 'fatigue syndrome' with which I am plagued virtually destroyed my vociferous reading habit. However, just as it occurred, I pulled an old, un-read, paper-back book from my shelf and placed it on my desk as a reminder! It is a fairly slim volume but, I suspect, the subject is 'yuuuuuuuuuge'! I'm not too sure how it will go down but I am determined to try! It is a biography of Abraham Lincoln by Jan Morris about whom, I am ashamed to say, I know very little. I will post reports as I go.
No more Rumbles
This Constitutional requirement has set some people's nerves on edge. Too many of those people are already way over the edge. Wile y Coyote over the edge.

More than 'something' to that.
I've been long advising the folks I'm in contact with, 'all Biden has to do' is be is "with it" better'n he's been characterized ... caricatured.
Trump, in my humble opinion, better get off his ass and familiarize himself with Biden's forty years of zero accomplishments.
Well zero so far as the voting public's concerned. Where the credit card companies and "big Wall Street" is concerned (benefiting his debate opponent dangerously)
Biden's actually accomplished quite a bit.
Buy popcorn futures.

Oh ye of little faith!
Btw, and FYI~~~ I have it on good authority that the Donald is rarely seated, save for Landings, Takeoffs, and Limo rides... with reference to his debate plans, I've heard that 'The Boss' will be monitoring Biden's Teleprompters and Script -- just in case the Great Modern Plagiarist, and all-around liar, muffs his lines! Fear not, Fosdick!
With sincere empathy, for our Host's read-less affliction, I was delighted to see the update in the 'rumble'. That his muses, (I suspect) have uncovered a wee tome for his edification and rejuvenation! Further, I am glad to learn that periodic 'reports' will follow to inform US stateside Duff readers viz the Lincoln Bio progress.
One last thing I'd like to share is a childhood memory I have, sparked again here, sitting in the kitchen w/ my mother, and I reading the tag on her tea bag: It read as I recall, "No one has a good enough memory to be a good liar." I turned the tag over to find out who said it... "Abraham Lincoln", that pearl, kept me on the straight and narrow for quite a while! ;)
Best regards,
On Watch~~~
