In the Trump Boat Parade, there was a large barge with seven emergency vehicles representing first responders who support @realDonaldTrump. @WPTV @FOX29WFLX pic.twitter.com/8VmFuKPgYB

Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

I love this country.
I’m worried. Actually, I’m terrified.
The other side, the Dark side, is going to pull out all the stops; cheat, lie, steal, murder, burn and riot to come out on top in this election.
We really should have started forming the militia before now, to be ready. I will not be ruled by those degenerates.
Getting nippy here in the Poconos. Two mornings in a row with frost on the pumpkin. It’s a great time of year for a bit of Porto after dinner.
As I was sipping my Port, I opened AD and enjoyed viewing the video of another joyous Trump boat parade. Terrific!
I sip a bit more Port and scroll down and almost choked laughing at the Biden boat parade meme. Brilliant! Are those are the dead folks who will be voting for Joe?
Joe Biden boat parade: Dead people voting. Ooops…dead people floating.
If Biden wins the presidency, it’ll be the crime of the millennium.
Kevin beats me to it again. Those floaters will be voting!
Snake,
I think the floaters have probably already voted, but the boaters will likely vote one Election Day.
GO TRUMP!

=============
We were born ready.
They are unprepared for what awaits them.
Interesting analysis of how much cheating the Dems might actually need:
