'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
PA allows campaigning up to 10' of a polling place entrance which is crazy. That's no space at all!
Wow, that is crazy.
I can't believe I had a flour crisis at the supermarket! They didn't have any 5lb bags of King Arthur AP, and only had 5lb bags of whole wheat. I am walking, so am not trying to buy a 10 lb bag, which they did have. Flour trauma!!
Ooh, just saw press. We are moving digs? Do we need money? I...can't send any until they return the $6k that was stolen out of my account but after that's fixed (please let it be fixed) I can
Ooh, that is a dilemma, Jesse!
We are moving. There's no need for money to make the move.
Unrelated to the move, my server rack has arrived. Can't mess with it right now, but looking forward to putting together my home server cluster.
Timelies all!
We got notified yesterday that a teacher at Mr. S's school was experiencing COVID-like symptoms. Luckily for us it is not one of the teachers he works with.The classes the teacher does work with are going back to all-virtual until things are resolved. Mr. S's class is still doing the hybrid model of three days in person and two days virtual. All classes were supposed to go to 4 days in person starting next week, but the school is obviously holding off on that.
Cambridge is doing another round of testing nursing homes and assisted living residences, so I'm signed up for a free work-sponsored test on Nov 9.
I dropped my ballot off at an early voting site today after confirming that the ballot were taken daily to the main county site. I was first in line by then but I was also ready to be out of there. Still, I voted. Which feels epic this year. I usually use mail to return them or drop at a polling place on the day of but after the drama of the post office basically I registering me, I wasn't using them for my ballot. And I want confirmation it has been received since I don't have a lot of faith in the President wanting as many votes cast as possible.
Got my sticker and everything.
The record breaking voting is just so damn encouraging. What is most amazing to me are all the adults voting for the first time. My mom was very political so it came as a surprise to me that some people didn't vote. I still haven't quite gotten used to that concept.
I didn't talk about politics (obviously) to anyone in the line but I think of the people I talked to I'd say at least one of them was probably a Trump voter. Saw trump flags on cars, one guy wearing a shirt proclaiming Faith, family, firearms, and 2 other F things.
On the one hand I'm glad lots of people are voting but on the other I wish there werent' so many people showing up for Trump
