San Francisco did ranked-choice voting, which is why it took all week to find out who the new mayor is.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

They've got it pretty well down in Cambridge, MA, I think -- I'm pretty sure they get results same-night now.
In other news, my most embarrassing housekeeping success of the day: I just threw away all the canned food my grandmother had stored in the basement. My grandmother who died five years ago.

We lost at the casino. But had fun.

I am back from National Book Fair. I got food+drunk with friends before that. Ended up with an Arendt and a disability studies' book (+ a book for a friend and a book for my mom).
I very much doubt my choices for myself, but so much fun. Sleep now.

I think I hit Peak Thrifting Score yesterday: a Bakelite mourning brooch, probably from the late Victorian era, for $6. I also found brand new pointy toe leather shoes from some high-end Italian brand.

Home from second round of playing with the band this weekend. So fun! So tiring. I think someone asked if they could book us, though??? I wonder if they would do that.

Our wings are not tired.
Bridal shower was a smashing success. Decorations, food, games, goodie bags, presents, people, all good. Looking forward to her mom sharing the pictures because I didn't take any and bride has only posted one so far. Exhausted.
