GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Blah. ION, I have the first test drive (the Elantra) scheduled for tomorrow night and I'm already starting to stress about it. Hope the salesperson isn't too pushy. I did already inform her I'm looking at the Accord at a different dealership (to which she replied they have a Honda dealer next door they work with. Which has nothing to do with anything if they don't have a similar model with a similar mileage and price.) but I don't really want to deal with the inevitable "decide now" BS.

The new scanners actually make a thunka sound. I squeed and told the judge I like that sound!

My DH is sad that he never got to pull a lever. I liked those. I voted once in Davis, CA with an actual wood ballot box.

I am headachy from the anticipation. Mal was eating his shirt by noon. Driving past a house with a YUGE confederate flag and Trump sign didn't help.

The San Francisco Zoo has a live red panda cam on Facebook in case you need something cute.

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

Man, those old lever machines were great. So satisfying, with the kaTHUNK noise and the actual physical confirmation of voting!

Plus as somebody just reminded me, they automatically opened the curtain behind you when the vote was registered and the tumblers reset. A very dramatic flourish.

When do polls start to close? Or is that going to be iffy due to long lines?

There's a breed called the Chinook that was created by breeding Huskies and mastiffs.

So true! My first votes in NY were the lever machines with the automatic curtain. It was fun, but I have more confidence in the optical reader ballots. Paper backup, no chads.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Parts of IN and KY close at 6:00 Eastern. I doubt any results will be available until 7:00, when the rest of those states (along with 5 others, including VA, SC, GA, FL, and VT) close. I suspect serious results will start coming in after NC, WV, and OH close at 7:30.
