Seriously

 Today, November 3 is Election Day in the U.S.A.

Congress passed a federal law in 1845, designating the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as Election Day.

This is a midterm election, happening mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle. 

Midterms give voters a chance to decide which party controls Congress.

It's time to vote in reasonable people!

🗳️ 🗳️ 🗳️ 

Also, it's Godzilla Day!

He does care for all of us.

And...it's National Shenanigans Day!

And again, and again...

😹 😹 😹 

A bit of levity, but I'm darned serious about voting in change!

KitKat Chocolate Candy Clonehenge!

My dad used to nab chocolate candy from our Halloween bags, as a sort of tax for paying for us kids to live in the house.

Funny but yummy coinage.

So, get out there and do your part, and have some chocolate!

Apologies for my late commenting: I got stuck in traffic on Sunday night...two hours stuck on a one-way, one half mile long bridge with no way to exit...and by the time I got home, all I could do was get into jammies and let Henry soothe me to sleep with his purrs.

Note to self: DO NOT IGNORE YOUR GPS.

This is exactly why I picked Tennis great Roger Federer's voice; I could listen to him talk all day long.

But nope, he wanted me to drive on the expressway, and it was dark out so why not mosey along on a surface street?

BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS CLOSED, you silly goose.

Thank goodness for my audiobook, which kept me entertained.

Click here for more nut information: International Nut Day.

"A day to support small nut farmers around the world, educate consumers about the many benefits of nuts, and encourage healthier snacking."

When I searched my library for nut images, here's what was found:

😹

Exactly!

Especially humorous for someone who worked in the automotive fastener business.

Pecan nut on the floor, being used as a cat toy.

The Hubby and I have chopped walnuts with our morning oatmeal, and I personally cannot pass up a chance to snack on cashews.  

We also keep a supply of raw almond butter around.

Over the winter holidays, we manage to score a bag or two of roasted pistachios.

Eastside Cats is a nut patron, and is thankful for them.
