The Conference Room on the 4th floor of The Trillium was all busted this morning with the election stories of raids on Congressional offices and other high-jinks in the Ambassadorial ranks to Greece.. We appreciate a mobile breakfast aid like this to help get started:

Some folks had done the overnight message streaming and others had just scooped up a breakfast muffin cup or two with mugs of Black Rifle Coffee or some Olde Admiral mixed sweet tea.

There was talk at the table about the direction from Miles to keep things laconic and actionable for future sorting about why some things went on in some quarters during this amazing time in The Daily. Meanwhile, Mid-week Maintenance sweeps down from elevator bank through the Conference Room, Galley and cube farm.

On the flat-screen, the Russian-Persian axis of lunacy is heating up and some of it could go nuclear in Europe, which has the Bopomers shaking their heads and the Tweens a little off their stride. We assume some of the energy is due to our collective crash through the three week mark to the election and the anticipation for what those who may want to influence it might do to make it interesting.

Which is why we are thinking about something creamy but interesting for luncheon:
