ELECTION-FREE OPEN POST: Everybody Stay Calm!

By

Who am I kidding, it's a stressful day. My thoughts are with all the US Peckers. Godspeed.

And please note, today's Open Post will be a (relatively) peaceful, non-election Open Post for those who very wisely requested it. For election discussions, or anything politics-related today, kindly go to Peckerwood Manor's Election Panic-A-Gogo post. This is a safe space, as the kids say! And now for more kittens. Ahhhh. I feel calm and happy already.

I n case you were willfully ignoring the news this past Friday - and who can blame you? - the Trump administration popped a squat in the late afternoon and left us with quite the cow pie, or the transcripts of a recent interview with convicted pedophile pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, helpfully conducted by Trump's loyal lawyer minions. Never mind that she wasn't under oath, and never mind that her statements - "He was a gentleman in all respects," she cooed about Trump's social engagements with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein - are almost comically slavish. Or they would be if there weren't so many sickeningly abused girls and young women in the wake of this horror show. But qui pro quo , Maxwell likely intoned after the interview, since she was moved shortly after to a far cushier prison, which I'm sure is just a coincidence, n'est pas? Will MAGA take this on faith and move on from their obsession with Epstein? Maybe not, but they will be distracted, which...

  While many aren't ready to accept that the Summer season is winding down, I know I am itching for Fall's sweet arrival. So naturally I see Pumpkin Spice Day (aka the day Starbucks unleashes their pumpkin spice latte on the masses) as the unofficial start to the spooky season. Even though I no longer support Starbucks, I will be making my own pumpkin spice latte at home and savour the sweet smell of the impending season.  Are you excited to see your grocery stores overrun with all things Pumpkin Spice?  Source: Healthy Foodie Girl

Wouldn't you know it'd be a dame?  It's always a dame.  I was sitting in my shabby little detective office on Sepulveda trying to figure out which creditor I could stave off when in walked trouble - trouble being a tall redhead with big knockers and a fanny you could eat lunch off of. She sat down, dimpled sweetly, and cooed, "I'm Lorna, and I have a problem only you can solve." I answered, "If you've got a problem I'm the dick ('40s slang for detective) for you." She relaxed and put her feet up: "Fatal Instinct," courtesy of MGM UA She told me, "I've got a plot of land in Brentwood and I don't know how best to maximize my profits on it." After taking a gander, I suggested, "Maybe the erection of a big skyscraper would be the best thing for your plot." That seemed to excite her. She said, "But my acreage has always been residential.  Would such a big erection be legal?" I replied, "Trus...
