During the total solar eclipse those who honored the "Heaven's Gate" cult who "went to the visiting comet" in 1997 may do the same.

It's a bit early to put her on a death list.

Depends if he has dementia (we don't know). My wife's parents had it (her father for 10-years). They stayed in the same room .. when her mother died (in the 4th year of dementia) her father said "Oh, really? That's too bad" .. he had no clue, even after rolling his chair next to her laying in bed (dead). Totally clueless .. and 6-7 years later he died.

there have been over 350 postings about Carter in the past month, when he does die, will anyone really here really notice?

I posted this somewhere a week or so ago, but in case you missed it, here he is in late November, 2023 at his wife's memorial service.

here is a photo of Jimmy Carter from late November https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jimmy-carter-makes-rare-public-appearance-his-wifes-memorial-2023-11-28/

Most of the States in the USA, when a Senator resigns or dies in office, have the replacement named by the Governor. KY changed the rules for their state. The Democratic Governor can not name the replacement; therefore, the replacement (presuming Mitch does not serve out his term) will be Republican. Why does this matter? The party that holds the majority (and the US Senate is without going into the detail re: the independents) are essentially Democratic by one seat. The Majority vs the Minority is a huge deal. HUGE. (corrected my earlier error re: the majority party)
