Kamala Harris will be campaigning from inside Donald Trump’s head. No word on what social distancing is like in there.

I love seeing all the important parts of home. Flowers, the dog, and the cat. What a happy start to the day this is. But there’s more! A dog walking along the ocean. A labradane. Someone better put the bat signal out for TaMara. ~WaterGirl

Yeah I live in the flyover part of Long Island, what the Clooneys see as they copter from NYC out to Southampton. I could do with a few less knuckleheads here but it does mean a big old yard and being near the ocean!
The previous homeowner put in a gorgeous yard with all sorts of flowers that bloom through the spring and summer which we are generally way too busy to keep as pristine as he did, but we’re tryin! Here are a few flowers from the yard, the beach (north shore) and watching over it all is Hudson, our 2 yo Labradane. No really, Labradanes are a thing! And Shelby, the old lady being angry as usual.
Red!

The number of U.S. residents who have died since March is now more than 200,000 higher than it would be in a normal year. This suggests that the official death counts may be substantially underestimating the overall effects of the coronavirus. https://t.co/S4nAauU1io

Trump is a shell, a complete basket case of mumbly paranoia; Pence in is in hiding; Barr is effectively running the power ministries while Jared oversees the looting and the mass death.
And the GOP is trying to make the case that Joe Biden will be a figurehead.

Late Night GOP Death Cult Open Thread: It’s *ALWAYS* ProjectionPost + Comments (60)
Often times a particular photo jumps out at me, and I know instantly that that’s the photo to use for the featured image. When I looked at this post when it was originally submitted, I had a really hard time deciding between the last three photos.
When I looked at the post again just now so I could write the introduction, I noticed that lashonharangue had mentioned the final photo was one of his favorite photos from Paris. I thought “I’d better make that one the featured image.” So I went to change it, and found that this was the one I had originally chosen. ~WaterGirl

I was very fortunate to spend the fall of 2019 in Paris with my spouse. It was a bucket list trip. We deliberately chose that time of year to avoid the worst of the crowds. The first part of the trip the weather was cool and clear. It got colder and wetter as it got later in the year.
My photos could fill up the whole Paris week so it was hard to choose. I never got tired of walking along and across the Seine. Here are a few pictures from these wanderings taken with a cell phone – Pont Neuf and Pont Notre-Dame.
Pont Neuf (which means New Bridge) is the oldest bridge across the Seine.
I was a little in the dumps today and then I remembered this:
I can’t wait until Harris does this to Pence.
Also, my friend Holly and her husband returned from NYC today and brought me a dozen bagels made by Russian Jews and some smoke salmon and cream cheese and I used a tomato from the garden and some red onion and capers and I am the happiest I have been in months.

Part of me thinks there’s a very real chance that the cancellation of college football might actually drive the President’s approval rating below 40%.
