I am here while performing my official deputy duties. Had a dozen people at poll opening but very sporadic since then. Fabulous weather and I am outside so a perfect day.
Strong like an Amazon.

The skies over New York are full of ridiculously ominous clouds. Like, come on atmosphere, don't be that way. If this were a movie it would be about 20 minutes before the aliens invade.

It took a while to get logged in, but I finally achieved Board.
I did not, however, achieve a vote. I moved and had to re-register since I'd gone from one ward to another. The registration did not, um, register. I kind of expected it, since when I first moved to DC it took something like six years of registering (and re-registering and re-re-registering) to finally be able to vote. It's frustrating but, since DC is solidly blue - and there's no Congressional representation in question - I guess it's not going to have much impact. But it's annoying to have even less of a franchise than usual. Can't even vote on whether to de-criminalize using magic mushrooms.

I voted. There was no line, but there never is here.

Hey, it's here! A new place where the old place used to be!
I've got work AND a doctor appt today, so it's a good thing I voted a week ago. I think I'm going to avoid most of the news, only turn it on hourly to check the latest returns, and order a big bucket of KFC.

order a big bucket of KFC.
Damn, that sounds really good. Must be getting close to lunchtime here.

As a city employee, I have the day off today. So my big decision was do I go and vote now, or do I eat Second Breakfast and then go and vote?
I decided that I needed extra energy for such a momentous vote.

Good call, Scola. One does not simply walk into Mordor without Second Breakfast.
I am super antsy and unable to focus. More than usual, even!

Wise planning, Tom.
I just ran some morning errands and am treating myself to a salted caramel mocha, yes, I am.

I'm going to try to work. Can't guarantee the outcome, though.
