This is a good example of mom quickly throwing parts and pieces of a soup recipe on a card and then using years of cooking experience to create the soup.

We voted early and learned that the numbers who have voted early, were well above levels in past elections. Given the onslaught of fear porn in every corner, I take some solace in the fact more folks were getting out and voting.
It has been years since the bride and I have had any TV on during the day for back ground noise. I do not miss the talking heads today with their "expert" opinions regarding voting trends and winners and losers.
I do though have some gut level feelings that things are heading to worse before they get better. And get better to what? So, we will continue to shore up the needs of old folks living in cow country as a precaution.

One of the blogs I read daily is Sarah Hoyt. She uses a lot of words to get an idea across and most often I skim. She has introduced me to some AI music that I do enjoy. Interesting to me now is that music produced by AI is more enjoyable to me than what youngsters are listening to these days. But that is not abnormal me thinks. Regardless, I read/skim her daily and enjoy the posts that draw me in and cause me to think.
So, a little Sarah Hoyt here.

Rain this morning but only just enough to dampen the ground somewhat. A tease at best but we will take any and all rain mother nature sends our way.
I am guessing that in the remaining days of this week, media fear porn will be on high and how, what and where "it" may raise its ugly head is a crap shoot. There seems to be some consensus, amongst folks who call us and others with whom we visit, that if the elections go badly, we will have two years left for final prepping.
A pot of rice on the stove now, finishing up a quick pot of chicken soup for lunch today made from stores on the shelves and fridge leftovers. Mom's beef barley soup later this week.
Two doctor appointments, (minor stuff) and a shopping stop at a big store for Christmas chocolate chip cookie dough and a $5 rotisserie chicken, at weeks end.
I appreciate your visit.
Mom and her sister plucking chickens on the farm in the late 1940's or early 1950's. Everyone worked and pitched in to put food on the table.
