Good Morning, Digital Neighbors! Happy Sunday to all of you across the Locals-verse. Friends, Refugees, Early Birds, Later Dayers, Conversants, and Lurkers that feast at the Rubin Report. PHAM, Misfits and Political Homeless that find a seat at the table of Bridget and drink deeply of the Phetasy.

And finally, ADD Irregulars, Weird Shit Niche’ Curators, Curmudgeons and Curmudgeonettas that frequent the hole in the wall that is Padre’s. Happy Sunday, my favorite day of the week!
