Hung out in the field to watch the bottom half of fireworks (seriously,cloud ceiling too low) with neighbors from a few blocks over west (I pass their house every sat on the way to market) who actually grew up at 3601 on my block. Funny story, G wasn't the first guy missing a foot to work accident to live there. Wonder if I should warn current residents. #neighborhoodcarrots
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

You should've come hung out with us in Indy, msbelle! :) the fireworks were kind of a bust though.
Don't wanna work tomorrow.

Since I have to stay home to keep the Boss company, I decided I would try a new baking challenge, and give some macarons a try.
So far so good, I think...

It is too damn early and we've already been on the road over an hour. Please let me never live further than an hour from a major airport.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Not Billytea. But as I understand it you are fined modestly for not voting. I presume the bill is mailed to you the way it is when running a red light is captured by a traffic camera in the USA. Also if you wish to not vote as a matter of principle, you can cast a blank or spoiled ballot. You only get fined for not showing up. Dunno what they do if you get sick or trapped in a collapsed tunnel or something at the last moment.
This is essentially correct, but you also have the opportunity to state your reason for not voting. There are valid reasons; for instance, I didn't vote while in the FAC for religious reasons, without being fined. (Illness or accident can also be a valid reason.) The fine is $20, or $50 for repeat offenders.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Back from vacation, and I only had like 150 emails, and almost zero things that needed addressing. Sweet!

So I have been up since 3am which is contributing to this, but I just had to raise my voice at work. DO YOUR JOB, do it correctly. Stop half assing and thinking that is good enough.

I heard about the anti-semitic imagery in that twitter from Trump's campaign and I thought it was probably a tempest in a teapot and it was just someone using a star image without thinking how it would look. Then I saw it and... well, you have to catch that. Calling that out isn't a reach.

Also, it was originally posted a few weeks ago on a white supremacist site.
