What are you doing this evening?
It’s almost 3:00am locally. I could say I was staying up to watch the Polaris Dawn liftoff. At least that would be a good excuse.
But I don’t need to justify staying up late anymore! It’s such a knee-jerk thoughtless reaction to, “Why are you awake at 3:00 am?”
Because I can be!
I’ll be going to sleep in a bit. I had started a response to another prompt. Never finished it. But there were some good ideas percolating and knocking around other ideas.
Later tonight is the (first and probably only) debate between Harris and Trump 2024. My green crystal magic 8-ball says:
If she tries and fails to land a haymaker, that could cost her. She doesn’t want to overplay her hand.
If he tries and fails to belittle her or if she can make him seem old and doddering, she’s got a chance.
If Trump manages to claim with a straight face, any kind of victory, he’ll inflate it into a complete victory. The likes of which no one has ever seen.
‘I beat her in the debate. Everyone is saying it. You’re going to tell me I lost the election after I killed her in that debate? No way!
Way.
Good night!
