Ordinarily perfect . . .

It's the Satyr's day . . . the weatherfeather sent in a Xerox for today's forecast in Okieland . . .

Head’s up: Today’s blog contains a link to a video-parody regarding Exxon which contains language that could be offensive to some, and likely not for little ears.

“Too important to miss.” This is for the independents, the so-called unicorns whose votes may decide the outcome of the November election as well as for those who have become weary of the endless political fray we live in. They are written for those of us who are committed to fighting to keep the Republic. – Joyce Vance referencing yesterday's NYTimes editorial.

We cannot win if we do not vote, if we just give up. Wipe “giving up” off your possibilities list.

Speaking of voting: There's an Exon ad-parody going around. Candid and explicit it hits hard at our complicity in the environmental disasters unfolding around us.
