Wednesday Morning

I see people out there already handicapping the 2024 Biden-Trump rematch as if nothing that could possibly happen between now and then — including the economy, the War in Ukraine, a dozen-or-so Trump trials, the health of either man, Biden deciding not to run, various scandals, more or fewer random shootings, debates, weather catastrophes, etc. — could possibly affect the outcome of that election. I'll bet something within thirty days makes a big difference.

A friend of mine who'd vote for a cockroach before he'd vote for a Republican is delighted Donald is running. He thinks it means utter chaos and bloody infighting for the G.O.P. and there seem to be folks in that party who feel the same way. I think we're in truly uncharted territory as to what will happen…and I don't want to hear predictions until at least there's some solid polling on who'll be the nominee. I wouldn't even assume either of those guys will be on the ticket.

Right now, I have more important things to think about…like I'm realizing that the most exercise I will ever get out of my old stationary bike — the one that no longer works — is getting it down the stairs and off to some sort of dump or recycling center, and then getting the new one upstairs and assembled.

I reminded you yesterday that badges for WonderCon are now on sale. I should have also reminded you that your badges will cost you less bucks if you buy them by January 8, 2023. And there's a big hint there that they're not going to sell out soon…but they will probably sell out. If you wanna go, don't wait too long.
