My students have a midterm today, which means the only way I could vote would be to wake up really early, and I didn't feel like doing that for a ballot that's almost entirely uncontested local races.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I get to do crazy proportional representation voting for the one and only time today! I probably won't rank all 25 candidates for City Council, but I'll do a bunch of them. And I only have a recommendation on one person running for School Committee, so I may just vote for her and leave it at that.

Latest word on the mall shooting seems to be failed suicide by cop -- he went into the mall and started shooting, but by most witness accounts, deliberately did not aim at anyone, trying to goad the police into shooting him. And when that didn't work, he shot himself.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gah, that's so so sad. I'm glad there's no cop who might have to deal with crippling guilt for the rest of his or her life.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't decide where to put this one, but I think DH's latest TwoP gallery will be of interest to several Buffistas. Potential Thor or GoT spoilers:

ok vote411.org is the best voting helper ever. My whole ballot is propositions and there is no way I would have understood them in the booth.

There were only two races on my ballot this morning. One of them, though, was a tea party lunatic running for mayor, so I feel my civic duty was well covered.
