Anyway, today was overcast and cool, thank you weather gods. Here, have two lovely threads (one from yesterday, one that's a little older):

Just spent the last 2 hours phone banking here in Texas. I called a grandmother. She’s 91. Black. She answered so sweet. I told her who I was, and asked if she was registered to vote for November. She said YES MAAM! I said, “wonderful. I hope we can expect your support...”

We need @JoeBiden. We need a mensch.

From Rabbi Michael Beals of Delaware :

"The story I’m about to share with you about Joe Biden is special -- in fact, I’m fairly certain I’m the only living person left who actually witnessed it firsthand.
