Well, that's impressive

17 Walsh Lane, Belle Haven, has sold for $17.7 million. Listed in June, it was under contract by September 14. Custom-built for the seller on a 2.5-acre lot purchased for $6.535 million in 2005, and completed in 2008.
What could possibly go wrong?

It can’t happen here
29,000 Alleghany County (PA) voters receive wrong mail-in ballots.
Voter name mix-ups meant ballots sent to the wrong Congressional districts. That would not affect national or state votes but would invalidate votes for Congressional and local candidates.
Fortunately, this was just a single mixup, and surely the only one we’ll see.
Oops! Trashbags of undelivered mail found at postman’s home awaiting garbage curbside pick-up.
Well, this also happened in Pennsylvania (yesterday) so it’s just a single state, and surely the only state that will experience difficulties with mail-in voting.
Facebook won't show it, the NYT and WaPo won't report it

ALL THE NEWS WE SEE FIT TO PRINT
Crickets on the Hunter/Joe/Biden/Ukraine emails. As I recall, none of these institutions felt any compunction against publishing the Times’ unverified copies of Trump’s tax returns.
Then again, they were speaking of “sexual preference” as recently as yesterday.

Times up!
China, Cuba, and Russia elected to the UN Human Rights Council Trump pulled us out this farcical council back in June 2018, but it’s time to quit the entire organization, stop giving it our money, and kick them out of the country.
Price cut on Clapboard Ridge
/
27 Clapboard Ridge Road/Flagler Drive down today to $3.995 million. Parts of it date back to 1848, and when it was last on the market in 2003 these owners paid $5.3 despite its (very) dated condition. They seem to have updated the kitchen and the baths, at the least, and placed it back on the market at $5.495 in April 2017; it’s still sitting.
When words are cancelled overnight because the wrong person uses them
/
Joe Biden used the term “sexual preference” as recently as May of this year.
Saint Ginsburg said it in 2017
Yesterday Barrett Coney used it, the Senate’s dumbest member denounced her, and the Twitter world went wild.
So overnight, Merriam-Webster has declared “sexual preference” “offensive”.
Usage of Preference
The term preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to.
It took almost six years to move from opposition to gay marriage, as Obama and Clinton did in 2008, to brand Chick-fil-A to be banished from airports, college campuses and blue cities because the founder once declared that a marriage was the union of a man and a woman. That process has now been compressed to twelve hours.
Knollwood Contract
/
15 Knollwood, asking $6.495 million. Good location, a whole lot of house – possibly too much, for some buyers. The owners paid $6.950 for it in 2002, made improvements, and tried for $10.750 in 2007-08. Since then it’s been on and off the sale and rental markets at varying prices. It started this time in May ‘19 at $6.995.
To be fair, Connecticut has Murphy and Blumenthal, but still ...

The dumbest person in the U.S. Senate demands to know whether ACB has ever raped or made unwanted sexual advances towards another.
Fortunately, there’s this:
Different market, different results
/
21 Old Club House Road was put up for sale in February 2017 at $4.695 million and expired unsold in June 2018 priced at $3.995.
It was placed back on the market less than two weeks ago on October 2nd at $3.950 million, and has a contract
