Thoughts for the day

It looks like the monsoon is taking a break today.

Today in 1919 my mother was born. She was an only child, as her mom had a still-born male and another male who died in his first year. She got married at 19 and never lived alone her entire life until my father passed. First her parents, then my dad, and during the war she moved back with her parents. She was a great mom, a loving wife, and a good all-around person. She lived to be 89 and is still missed.

 Last night was a very good debate between Harris and Trump. Even Fox news is saying that Kamala won the debate. I’m hoping she also wins on Election Day.

D'oh

- Pop culture reference point: "Simpsons" (1989)

The colloquial term "d'oh" is usually used to express frustration that things haven't turned out as planned. The phrase is typically associated with Homer Simpson, who frequently utters it throughout "The Simpsons." However, it was used pre-"Simpsons," notably in a World War II-era BBC radio show called "It's That Man Again."
