So very cool, indeed.
I found out that early voting starts in Somerville this Saturday, one long block away from me, so that's where I'm going.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Nice, Theo!

What is even happening?
Yes, Massachusetts early voting is from Saturday, October 17, 2020 through Friday, October 30th.
I requested a mail-in ballot for the presidential election, when I voted early in-person for the MA state primary. I've already filled out my ballot. I'm going to drop it off in person during the first week of early voting.
Our town's hours are kind of erratic, and that first day, early voting doesn't start until 2:00pm, so whether I vote on that day or wait until Sunday or Monday, depends on the lines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm about to go put my ballot in a legit drop box!

That's my fail safe, Jesse.
I don't know why, but I feel better handing it to a person than putting it in the drop box (we only have one, and it is at town hall, so I know it is legit).
Basically, everything is making me nervous, and not in my "I have an anxiety disorder way," just in a "look at all this" way.

Yeah, I'm glad my polling place is City Hall. I haven't actually checked, but I assume there's a drop box there

Thanks, Todson. Sorry for all the moving rigamarole.
We dropped off our ballots to the Fairfax County Govt. Office a couple of weeks ago, and we researched and confirmed affirmative receipt.

Timelies all!
Today was my telework day. Going back to the lab tomorrow is going to feel a little weird.

I got my blood donor ID number and found out that I'm type O negative. Which is good for any people who need transfusions when trapped or isolated with me in a post-Apocalyptic setting, I guess. I don't plan on donating often if I can help it, what with the 3-month chastity blood ban.
