I just voted. Most no-brainer election EVER. Seriously, even in the primaries it was a choice between Di Blasio, Quinn, and a bunch of Bond villains.

Yeah. It was stupid, and people overreacted, but that's fandom for you. I like to think well of people, I'm not a sneaky person, and I feel like that element of my personality was taken advantage of by people I trusted. I dislike this intensely.

Voting for the women around here is not always a good option, there are some radically right wing females around here that would make Darth Cheney weep in pride. There was a woman on one ballot, but her statement of position was more "I'm a homemaker and small business woman, so I understand how important it is run an organization efficiently" and "all we need is for everyone to work together for a common goal," which is true but a little light on practicalities.

For the record, assuming DiBlasio wins, the Greater Boston Area will continue its reign over NYC -- remember, Bloomberg is from Medford MA, and DIBlasio went to the same high school as me!

5 folders and 2 piles of papers out of my office and into filing cabinet. All work done with them and they are all organized.

WHOOT!!

Wow 'Suela. That is not cool.

I voted; our race was Mayor and City Council only. I did vote for one white dude, but he's a longtime acquaintance and old-school Durham progressive type, not to mention that he's running against the one person in the race to single out being against marriage equality as her signature issue even though it has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

In this town. Good luck with that, lady.

(Also noting that, as for meara, no white dudes is only to be used for races where there isn't a clear choice otherwise. And also also noting that I really like living in a place where there generally aren't any white dude vs. white dude races in local politics.)

Yikes. Just as I finished my walk, I heard some shouting, and it was a woman with a pit bull trying to (spoiler-fonted for animal harm) get her dog to let go of a cat. The pit bull was on a flexi-lead, and it had gone up onto the porch and grabbed the cat. I ran down and tried to help, but it took three of us to get the dog to let the cat go, and when he did, the cat just lay there on the ground, not moving.

Both women were very upset. Thankfully, there's a vet around the corner; I hope the cat's ok.

I don't understand why someone with a dog they know is dangerous and lunges after cats would walk it on a flexi-lead. That's just asking for trouble. I got her information for the cat-owner and told her she needed to get a shorter, stronger, leash, and double-up the collar.

I feel like I just got spoiled for my annual physical, which is this afternoon. My lab results were posted and all my numbers look great, except for my B12. YAY for solid cholestorol numbers. Not that I was worried about them, but nice to see.

Ugh Consuela, that's so ugly. And what makes it uglier is you're right, they took advantage of the fact that you are nice and think well of others and aren't sneaky and manipulative. Phooey.
