You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I see you've seen the lunch I packed.

You may also have a thin broth and a glass of water.

As a special treat you can filter the water.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and was reminded of why I regard it with some reluctance.

You are such a whiner! You got to ogle fireman and you had parking. That's a double win at the polls.

Dude, my polling place is a middle school cafeteria (in blue and orange!) with models of the Wright planes hanging from the ceiling. They are festooned with dust and milk cartons probably older than I am.

And it smells like a middle school cafeteria.

My polling place was an apartment building community room with a ping-pong table.

Compassionately intolerant

Mine is the middle school auditorium where I used to counsel. Thankfully close to home and in an active area. It always feels so festive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Last time around, there was a little kid who went to the school showing off different things to her mom. Cute!

I keep meaning to go to the new Applebee's by me, but have yet to actually go. And I don't think today's going to be the day, either. Maybe I'll have tuna salad for lunch. Hm.

My voting place is the gym of the local Lutheran church/school.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My lunch (already consumed): turkey, avocado, and lettuce in a wrap; corn chowdah; and string cheese (because I love feeling like I'm eviscerating my food). Later? An orange. Possibly yogurt.

Our wings are not tired.

We vote at a Baptist church. I don't do the early voting thing because I always enjoy the friendly poll people and invariably run into my neighbors. It's a nice social event thing.

It is pouring rain. Has been for 2 days. This is a wonderful thing because we need it badly. Unfortunately for me, it would appear something isn't sealed quite right in my car because I have puddles on the floor. Ugh. Perhaps in the months between this and the next rainfall I can figure out what the problem is. I fear it may get moldy smelling though. Ugh again.

But huge booming thunder storms that only sometimes take out power and internet! Whee!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

We had rain last night. Wonderful rain. Glorious rain. There's nothing like the driest year in the state's history to make you appreciate rain.

Today, however, it is 30, windy and gray.
