Back when I was still working at the Kansas City Star and getting regular requests to speak at schools, it didn’t take long to realize the only person even vaguely interested in my appearances were the teachers who invited me, mainly because my showing up meant they didn’t have to prepare a lesson plan or teach for an hour.
And, of course, you made me look up whelm :-). According to the interweb, whelm is derived from the Old English hwielfan,. Whelm past tense or past participle: = whelmed
* engulf, submerge, or bury. "a swimmer whelmed in a raging storm"
Thanks for looking that up and I'm going to start using whelmed as often as possible. As in "I'm totally whelmed by your attendance at this Thanksgiving Dinner." That should confuse the crap out of everybody.
I talked to my crazy minarchist / libertarian / Reagan worshiping brother Steven on the way into work today. He lives in Michigan. He says he's not going to vote, because he doesn't support either party, but even he admits that if Harris wins it probably won't be as ugly as if Trump does. That's because he thinks the Dems will riot. But then, he also thinks January 6th was an antifa thing. 😂

Despite what I said earlier, maybe it's a good thing if your brother doesn't vote.
