It has long been a tradition of mine to make star polygons to mark my birthdays. Since I’m 53 today, here’s a 53-pointed star.

A Celebration
I’m celebrating because my blog broke half-a-million hits today. Cheers!
Only Four More….
Trump was bad enough before, but COVID-19 has brought out previously unseen levels of brainless incompetence in the man. I have high hopes that Biden will win decisively Tuesday, without a long wait before the victor is known.
Urgent! Hyundai Safety Recall
This is real, and our car is one of the ones being recalled. We have a phone call in to the nearest Hyundai dealership, and are waiting for a phone call with instructions from them. They’ll fix this potentially dangerous problem involving brake lights for free. All you need to do is adjust the Google search terms to match your Hyundai car, and then add information about your location, so that the search engine can return the specifics you need to find the Hyundai dealership nearest you, in order to keep your family safe.
The “Dungeons & Dragons” Alignment System, Applied to Characters From the Pages of “Daredevil” Comic Books
This nine-part alignment system comes from Dungeons and Dragons, and these images come from various Marvel comics (although I found them with Wikipedia and Google-searches).

Trump’s Impeachment Troubles Started One Year Ago Today
One year ago: the infamous July 25th phone call. That led to Trump’s impeachment, but few think of it now because we’re neck-deep in the COVID-19 pandemic. Impeachment occurred before the masked age began. He didn’t get removed by the Senate, but he’s quite likely to get removed by voters in the November election. He may not leave the White House voluntarily, which would create a shameful spectacle, but he’ll be escorted away come Inauguration Day — even if they have to literally drag him off, kicking and screaming.

I didn’t write this — it was shared with me. However, I do agree with it.
Cat + Blanket = Cuteness
We’re in a global pandemic, without competent national leadership, and American society is tearing itself apart. However, at least you get to see this cute picture my wife took of Hexagon the Cat hiding in a blanket, right?
Microsoft, the Misfit
Fact One: Microsoft’s trading symbol is “MSFT.”
Fact Two: If you try to pronounce “MSFT,” it sounds like “misfit.”
Conclusion: We must never call this company “Microsoft,” ever again. “Misfit” is its name, from now on.
