I would probably check it out, but . . . watching curling is boring. Really. I have friends who curl, and I went to check it out, and it was interesting for maybe 20 minutes. After that, I just kept looking at my watch and wishing that they had better beer.

I still think of this place as a safe-ish space, but it is most definitely not as private (or as safe) as we seem to think it is. Trust me.
But I know how many hits I normally get from stuff I link here at least and can look at my stats and see how many people visited a picture because it was linked here.

Happy Birthday Krtistin and Maria!
I woke up this morning to discover that my roof has a leak. Not a bad one, total water presence on my kitchen floor probably amounted to a spilled juice glass. But still irksome.

So is everyone voting today who can? I hate when I don't get to vote.
Have people been following the discussion about caucuses v primaries among the campaigns? I've never lived anywhere that caucused, which seems kind of cool. Today's are all regular primaries, though, as far as I know.
However, it occured to me recently that the arguments about caucusing are Exactly The Same as our Gang of Fourteen debates. Which no doubt explains a) why I find them so appealing and b) why they really probably aren't fair. Ha! We are so far ahead of the game. They should hire us on as consultants.

I voted but I did not get a sticker. Again. There weren't as many people as I thought there might be at my polling place (at 8:30 am). I only saw about 5 altogether. And I knew 2 of them.

My polling place has never had stickers. There was no line at 9. I'm trying to think when there has been a line...Evenings during the presidential vote, I guess. Or maybe back when we had the big curtained booths. They'd only have 2 of those /precinct, but now have 5 or 6 of the carrel types. And since they no longer mark me off on the paper voter list, I can't tell how many people voted before me!

Oh, that was the best thing about the scantron machines at my old polling place.
