I had expected Trump’s re-election campaign to die from major illness on his part. I thought it would be physical illness, but it seems that moral and psychological illness is the reason. It was in this the last week of September, and there were two major components to Trump's demise: the report of his federal income tax return hurt him, but Trump scoffed it as fake news, even though we had already known the information in general, but the details filled in a lot of the details, even though the ...

Be thankful I didn't put EGG-citing and EGG-sploding. I did consider it. So. It's colder now. Summer is over and Autumn is here.

I have some calming background music so let's see if that helps me at all. My hope is it will somehow keep me calm and concise. Big ask for me. So. To rehash some things you already know ...
Recently, someone wondered how people feel about mortality. I have written about that in the past, so I mostly just referred to those, but there a few parts of the question that I think deserve a little more consideration.
