Coverboy Wear Your Frigging Socks!
Put Your Socks on First...
By Daddy
Las Vegas — That's a common thought that I have each and every morning. If I put my socks on first, then it's easier to get my feet into my underwear. You see I have neuropathy which means that I have no feeling below my calves. Most of my life I didn't wear socks as I was a Birkenstock fan. But it's come to the point where I need to wear thick socks everyday even though I dislike them immensely.
The point is: "Wear Your Frigging Face Mask" even if you dislike it. As recent events have shown, it's important in the bigger scheme of things.
Programmers tend to have a "Just one more bit of code" complex especially when they're close to completing their current goal. That's what happened to me last night. Just one more piece of code and the next thing I know it... It's 4:30am and I be up and around early tomorrow.
So a few hours later, I'm off to pick up my CROW boot which should protect that fragile left heel and make it a bit easier to walk. A bit tired from an extended coding session last night. But awake enough that my eyes have uncrossed./p>
As is usual as we head into the holidays money gets tight. I was able to close out September by throwing in my emergency cash stash. October appears to be about $500 short.

Hostile Motive Read in Thomas-Alito Statement
By Lisa Keen
Washington — While there was cause for alarm for LGBT people watching the opening day of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020-21 session Monday, there was also at least a tiny bit of reassurance, too. The alarm came with an unusual, unsolicited statement from two of the court’s most conservative justices, indicating they are still opposed to the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which struck down state bans on marriage for same-sex couples. (More)
