You do realize it’s only 18 days until Election Day?
In my view, that calls for a drink! We’ve made it this far!
And just think — that our days of sounding off about who is in the Oval Office could be dwindling?

There’s so much to be thankful for here in our News Views world of (generally) like-minded friends, and I want to remind you all that the 5:00 Somewhere Lounge is your place to come in and stay for a quick one, or hang out for a while and play some music. Drop your memes here, show us your kitties, tell us about your day or your upcoming weekend. This place, while I try to start the party with a story or a theme, is yours to play with.

This is your Happy Hour, and mine — I’m having one of these. What’ll you have? It is always 5:00 Somewhere!
