So, I just signed up to be a poll greeter on election day (early morning shift) and now I'm nervous. Tell me I'm not going to be shot by a Trump supporter.

My brother is a long-time resident of your county, and a very vocal Democrat, and he feels pretty confident that things will be pretty civilized there on election day. Can't speak for the rest of NC, though.

Now I want the Jamaican Rum Cake my friend's mom used to make every year. Stuff weighed a ton and was so rich. I need to ask him to get her recipe. They moved back to Jamaica so I won't be having any this year.

This is a good online place to be right now. Otherwise I'm just going to keep the Rachel Bloom vid (thanks for linking, Dana) on loop till the 10th, that okay with everybody?

msbelle, sending lots of ~ma to your dad.

I knew I forgot to respond to something! You will not be shot by a Trump supporter, Glam. I feel certain that they are not early to rise, early to the polls people, for one thing.

And good for you engaging with the community in such a civic-minded way!

Kalshane, have you been looking at TruCar? That is how I plan to find my next car. I am looking a hybrids though.

We're car-shopping too right now, and have more or less decided that what we really want is another red Subaru Forester. (I kept looking for other biggish family cars and every one that I liked, the thing I liked about it was how much like our old Subaru it was!) They're slightly more expensive than a Toyota or Honda would be, but I know from experience that they last just this side of forever and they are RIDONKULOUSLY safe.

We found ours by using TrueCar. SUPER helpful with prices and such.

I really like AutoTrader for looking at used cars. I just set my filters pretty broad and look over a whole bunch of cars just to get an idea of the current market, then I can cherry pick the ones that look like good deals.

I went ahead and signed up for my next course at Stanford. I'm starting to look at internal postings and trying to figure out how to create more high profile work for myself, but I'm struggling to give a shit.

You won't be shot. Odds are one or more people will tell you you are going to hell, though. Sorry. It's great that you're doing it. I was a poll greeter here four years ago and had a great time.
