Yea...looking better. My main concern all along was to see this nation begin to seriously address climate change. Joe will take the first steps, but how much progress can be made with a Republican congress? WOW....I am officially burned out on all of this. Politics has never been my thing. I'm in that "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." mindset. The difference is the new boss is light years more decent as a man and leader than the old. I will have to go into political detox soon. Ravens football just may be the cure.

There's no winner. We all lose. Protests are popping up all over the place, some violent, and people are upset and disillusioned on both sides. Lot's of shock, hate and division. How do you bring this kind of America together? Right now it looks like it will take a miracle for Biden to win. I do believe the vote counting is fair and precise. Whoever wins....well, that's democracy no matter how disappointed I may be with my fellow American citizens if the winner is Trump. I did not think the vast majority would be gullible enough to believe his lies. It seems they believed them. That is shocking to me. I believe they are good people and have been misled.

Here's a gloomy theory..............

My TV will now stay on 24/7 until a winner is declared. I'm retired so I can do what I want. In the past, I'd vote, go to work and not stay up watching the TV because I had to work the next day. I realized that the only thing I had control over was casting my vote. The outcome was beyond my control and no amount of mental/emotional involvement on my part was going to change a thing. Now....I've been closely following this and learning a lot that I never had time to learn. How the whole election and voting system works. Just like following football, I like the strategies, following the polls, the various paths to victory for each candidate...and these 2 do not like each other! Side note: While Joe Biden is not my ideal candidate, at 77 years old, running this hard, standing toe to toe, trading blows and taking on a big bully....I find this inspiring. Joe's one tough fighter. He seems to be a decent man too.

You can call this an excuse for Lamar yet when I look around the league at the new, younger generation of QB's ...Lock, Darnold, Jones, Haskins, Mayfield, Murray, Jackson, Minshew....they all are struggling a little bit and performing inconsistently. I think not having OTA's, access to their facility's and a real training camp has stunted their development some. In Lamar's case, he really needed heavy coaching on his mechanics and quality time throwing to his receivers...time to develop the whole route tree. I think this is why Proche isn't playing on offense yet and Duverney is just getting started. That's 2 big playmakers with awesome speed and good hands....and the Ravens having been able to open that present due to the virus. This is one reason/excuse why the Ravens O has not been able to get better to counter opposing defenses. The passing game...the passing game...it makes me sick seeing teams load the box and Lamar not being able to make them pay. It's a dream scenario. Even Dilfer was able to make 2-3 big plays every game because defenses crowded the box to try and stop Jamal.

Good post tsylvester... All of it. Very informative. I've been thinking about that play. I was thinking, "One day Lamar makes this throw and we're all....

"What do you think Mike?" "I'm glad you asked...

"Can Ravens Defeat Elite Teams with Lamar?" Add to this "Can Ravens win playoff games and a Super Bowl with Lamar?" "Will he ever develop as a passer and correctly read defenses?" Any other questions or doubts about him. OK....now, let's destroy each other........ Seriously, we're fans and all opinions matter. I'm interested in yours. For me? I've got his back. "Big Truss." Love what he brings. "Thanks max"

See! We can be responsible once in awhile. Everybody gets a free album for this.... On the serious side. It feels good to exercise this important duty. Next up: Election night. For me it will be like watching the football scores on NFL Red Zone. I'll be nervous as shit hoping my team wins. I must love being nervous...every Sunday in the Fall.

They are starting to look into this. The numbers are stunning.....

Great! I was thinking that we would have to get the ER bus on the road to help members go vote. Now it looks like we can keep it in the garage.

You should vote tomorrow. There's going to be an all day deluge of rain. Nobody is stupid enough to go out in that.

We are such good citizens!

My son got there at 5:40, only 20 minute wait

This is the most important election in my life time. I truly believe that my children's future, your children's future and the future of all life on this planet is at stake. As I stated in another post, "now we are facing an Extinction Event, with a tipping point not that far off. If we don't act now, what we and the world are currently experiencing is simply a small taste of what's to come. Go past that tipping point and we become the Titanic. End Game." This is why it's so critical to vote now. Trump will do nothing towards this and we lose 4 more years of precious time. That would mean 8 total years wasted with huge consequences that can't be reversed." I think that I've dropped a few hints about who I'm voting for. Everyone please vote. Well...... everyone except those who are hood winked and under the spell of a megalomaniac pathological liar, whose Confidence Game is to have you believe that what you see and are experiencing isn't real.....It's not your fault. Huge populations of good people have been mesmerized before....think 1930's Germany. Better to stay home and not vote if you believe Donald. You'll be serving your fellow man. Hoping to beat the long lines, I got up this morning planning to be my early voting site in Arbutus by 6am. Polls open at 7. I was up so early that I got there sound 5:30 and was the second person in line. I left the Poll at 7:20 and the line outside was almost a quarter mile long....maybe 800 people! From what I hear, the best times to beat the lines are between 10-2. Or you can go early like I did. And if you can't, then I hope that you are willing, like I was, to stand in line for 4 hours if that's what it takes.

I have never understood the death reports due to the virus. From the beginning I would read the daily death total as 2 figures. Deaths due to virus and the "Other". I would wonder how many people died at home who couldn't get to a hospital or didn't think they needed to. I guess that is part of the "Other" category. Then you have the heart attacks/respiratory/stroke that were probably caused by the virus. So the death toll has to be higher due to the vague "Excess Death" category. I read this....

One of my sons refuses to watch horse racing due to this. I know of others who won't watch it anymore. 34 is too way, way too many. I love horse racing but I don't want to have all these deaths.

We might as well listen to taps given our choices for President....
