Thursday, November 10: 2nd day of fallout and my Father's Birthday

 Good morning. Like many others, I'm in a state of shock over this Tuesday election   day results making Donald Trump real estate tycoon and grifter as our 45th President of the United States. With the stock  market seems to be over the shock of  the Trump presidency. today was the second day of a stock market rally.  I'm a little bit better today. I woke up early enough to go to a meeting late but I ran into a neighbor  when I got on the 48 bus and we talked about the election and instead of going to the meeting I just came to work early. I have a  meeting tonight and then I'm going be going over to Madeline's place to babysit  her dog & cats. She lives in South Phillips ly near FDR Park. I would be taking  the 17 bus there So I won't have any distractions once I let the dogs out and feed the cats. I'll be babysitting  the dogs all weekend. I might even have two dates one for Saturday and one for Sunday. I'm off Friday a.k.a. tomorrow.
How busy are you on Fridays? I probably won't do much  

Until sometime in the mid day. It's Veterans Day tomorrow. It's one of the few holidays that doesn't fall on a Monday. Back in the dark dank  

political world here in Pennsylvania we have trouble ahead. Start your engines: State Sen. Scott Wagner, R-York County, is running for governor if this guy gets in State employees are just plain screwed. Since it would be an all Republican controlled. This guy hates public employees more than any  Republican in the state legislature. Man I'm glad him lesson 

five years away from being able to retire with these clowns entering public office. Anyhow I went to my 7 o'clock meeting after  

sitting at the greenline just mellowing out for an hour and a half. I then decided I would rent 

one of these enterprise rental cars to get around it so I could pick up my laundry after  

having them hold onto it for almost 3 weeks. I came back home for minute said hi to Sharon and then sped off back to West Philly.  

I then decided to stop at the kabobbeesh  and get some dinner and watch some more depressing political news. I then finally came back and took care of business with the animals and watch a little bit of TV

Wednesday, November 9: the aftermath

 Well after I staying up till 3 AM watching the slow-motion train rack up of an  election I managed to get up at around 7:30 AM this morning. I was still comprehending  what I just saw last night. Donald Trump managed to outmaneuver the media &   he pollsters and WON going away. He won Pennsylvania which has not voted for a   epublican since 1988. I first started with the state back in 1986. That gives you a good idea of how long ago it really   as. He also won Ohio Michigan & Florida. He managed two out campaign Hillary Clinton at the  same time.
Well it's Brixit USA style. Yes, history was truly made. This can't be denied even by folks like me who opposed him and who he addressed as East Coast elites. Well I wobble to work and pushed
ahead with doing the welfare thing. Woman who was interested in me initially Cente quick I don't want to go out with you letter because of being in AAA and still not divorced yet. Oh boy another one bites the dust! Back to the political story of this millennium. 

here is an article of how the mayor and citizens of Philadelphia reacted to last nights election.
Well I left work and talk to a coworker for a while about the election. They help it was cathartic. Anyhow the rain got heavier and heavier he  
drove me to 40th St. which was like this  was a great help because it was cold nasty rain outside. I then came home and really wasn't hungry so I talked  
to Sharon for a bit and she seems to be motivated to do stuff to her house. I think she's feeling better which is cool. Well life marches on

Tuesday, November 8: Election Day What the Hell Happened? President Trump?!?!

 Well I tried to get up early so I ended up getting up at 7:30 instead. I got up   kip breakfast and went down to the polling booth at St. Francis Xavier   chool. It was a 35 minute wait to come in and vote. After voting, I went to the Ryebread and   mmediately tapped Uber. The driver was eight minutes away which gave me plenty of time to order my coffee, oatmeal cookie , and banana. I eventually got to the EL and caught that fairly quickly. I helped    woman find a website to help her find her voting place. She was pretty nice. I got   o work and I have oassessed over the Internet and coverage of the election. The turnout is reported high as of 5:14 PM. Earlier in the day I got   lunch and got a tuna hoagie and almost  got one sanction completed. I saw two people   nd had the same clothes he notices to 3 others and rescheduled 1 other. I got on the EL and decided to go to Elixir Cafe  for a relaxing coffee. I was really pleasant surprise that there was hardly anybody in this place.   sually it's packed and hard to find a table. I saw the two nicest employees there and I chitchatted with  them since there was no customers waiting. They  both voted.  Well here's an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer talking about how people feel about the election there's lots of fear and loathing. I personally lay this at the feet of Donald Trump. He didn't create it but he fanned the flames! Anyhow it's  a little after six I  said goodbye to Jordan at the counter and proceed to go to canvassing.
Hey Sharon I'm about to start canvassing soon I just got some coffee and talk to a couple nice women at the coffee shop. I've never seen it so I'm T it's not like Thanksgiving or something. There's a quiet eeriness out here right now I'm about 

to go in and start canvassing. I just found out that my job tonight is to go to my polling station in Fairmount 
and tell people they can vote as long as they're  

in the line till eight. If there's more than 20 people I'm supposed to report that to the headquarters.
  Well I  

came home after going to an 8 o'clock men's at the clubhouse. By the time we came back the race was closer than anyone  

expected. Well looks like we're gonna have a president Trump. He won most of the battleground states including Pennsylvania which hasn't gone Republican since 1988 I don't know what else to say good night
