I need to start packing at some point here soon.

Our wings are not tired.
Pack!
I am off to recount central in a few minutes. Today we have my state rep who is behind by 36 votes in a district where 80,000 voted. (I have hope) Then the agriculture commissioner, which looks good for us. Ag might not sound like a big deal, but concealed weapons is under that header so I would like to see her win. Also all the environmental stuff that has to do with agriculture. The Republicans have held it a long time but the Dem is up at this point, and she is a really good choice too.

I'm beginning to be of the opinion that ALL elections should have recounts, as a matter of course. You know where most 'illegal voting' is actually detected? Recounts! Plus they expose problems with the voting software/hardware/process that embarrass state and county officials into actually Doing Something.
(Except maybe in FL.)

Punishingly Intricate
I'm at my in-laws in Michigan and we're having early Thanksgiving today. I'm trying to not say things like "why don't I run to the store to get heavy cream so we can have real whipped cream" or "why don't I run to the farmstand to pick up apples so we can have real applesauce." The food we'll have will be fine and I appreciate the work going into it even if it's not the way my family does things. Plus we'll be with my family Thursday for 2nd Thanksgiving. Still...

At recount center. Tales of shenanigans. When the finally start we are supposed to observe humans copying exactly ballots that didn't read. Can't talk. Can't touch table. Only raise hand if feel it isn't duplicated exactly.

Thank you, Laura.
I'm packed and ready to go. I'm having a quarrel with my bras, but it's a little too late to deal with it properly. Stupid boobs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am blaming my lack of motivation on the "very unhealthy " air quality today. There's rain forecast for Wednesday!

It's Cool Whip, isn't it?

Good luck Laura!!
I would rather have spray can real whipped cream than cool whip?
So I saw a couple ATV scooters on Craigslist and messaged both, and one had sold and one didn't respond. So I went ahead and bought one on amazon full price, got it Wednesday. So of course today I get a message from one of the sellers saying "we still have it do you want it". Oy.
