Yeah fusion ballots system is well an improvement over the usual. I'd prefer Propostional Rep for legislative seats and instant run-off for single office elections, but I'd take fusion.

Hey, flickr just greeted me in Navajo! Not quite the right accent marks, but still!

OH! And I almost forgot. In non-election news, here's the lastest version of the Lush form letter, italics mine.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We really appreciate it when a customer takes the time to write in to us about their experiences with our products, shops, and customer service, as it helps let us know what we are doing well, and also where we can stand to improve.

In terms of the naming of our products, this is solely done by our team of product inventors at LUSH UK, and I’d be happy to pass along your concerns to their team for review. Also, this particular product also has been slated for discontinuation, once stock is depleted.

We appreciate your feedback, and if you have any further questions or concerns, we’d be glad to help.

Yep. That was a bit of a shock to me. I might have gasped out loud. Stranger in a strange land, I am.

Ion still raining, I am wet and cold. Would very much like soup and a blanket. Instead am at therapy with mac.

I was going to vote on my lunch break (an advantage to having a five-mile commute to work), but was too lazy and am going to vote on my way home. It's at the Lutheran church near my apartment, and I'm hoping it's not too crowded tonight.

I feel your pain...I'm actually quite pleased that our Dems have been fielding people lately. Still got the stranger thing, though.

This is kind of handy: [link]

Slate tells you which races results indicate how big the Republicans win by. So if you don't want to stay up super-late, you can stay up moderately late until those results are in and go to bed with a pretty fair prediction,

Oh god, it's going to be a long night. I fear the depressing news.

Aha! Validation that my default thing to do with an out-of-town visitor is to give them the Mission Tour!
