The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I voted, and I have a sticker!

My polling place is weird. First, it's not in the lobby of my building, the way it was in LA. (What is up with that?) Also, there has been a big to do about the new electronic voting machines, and how they would give you paper ballots if they really truly had to, but they would rather not.

My polling place had one machine and 8 paper ballot tables.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I haven't voted, but will do so tonight.

Weren't they the ones who twigged immediately that someone was using ChiKat's cards fraudulently? Or was that Nordies?

Nordies. Neiman's actually tried to open an account for her, but saw that I already had one (thank dogs for old, unused accounts!).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here's a summary of all the issues.

Let me explain. No, too long. Let me sum up.

Still pretty long, huh?

Internet magically came back on again overnight, but the cable guy was still out here at 9:30. Hmmph. At least I was home anyway, and would have been awake even without the 8-10 block because of a phone call.

bon, that video was truly charming. What a lovely laugh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's prominently posted on the voting machines that the votes don't count.

That's so poetically...something.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think maybe the squirrel had good taste. Of course, I know Boortz only as one of The Worst Persons In The World.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Florida Secretary of State Sue Cobb said she didn't expect serious problems Tuesday.

"History has shown that the machines are far more accurate than paper so we're quite confident in it," Cobb said. "There is absolutely no reason to believe that there will be any security issues, any hacking going on."

What history is she looking at?

The one that's written by the winners?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The one that's written by the winners?

Yeah. And the large corporations that support them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay, I vote that Florida doesn't get any more Secretaries of State.
