Oh, I hadn't seen the Gaetz news. Sweet!
Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
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.
Ugh, I went to bed too late, and then this morning I was having a dream where I was moving out of an apartment during college, and I'd thought I only needed to pack enough stuff for me, but then I realized I had to pack everything in the apartment, and I didn't have enough boxes and stuff, so I was just dumping drawers into plastic bags and trying to fit things into overfull suitcases.
I've had different varieties of unpleasant dreams lately too, and then saw that it was a widespread complaint of late.
ahh - the moving anxiety dream, yes yes, I am familiar with the oeuvre.
I usually tend toward "end of the semester and I forgot to go to class", but sure, variety is good.
My dog woke me up at 445 to use the bathroom. Fine. Went back to bed. Dog barrows at 6. And 620. We went out again. No dice. Dog wanted to play. Kept barking. And now it’s almost 8am, dog has been silent for 20 min but I am wide awake. Grrrrr.
I just thought to check how my county’s vote counting was going. Only about 1,000 ballots left. 76% turnout!
Looking like 67% D and 30% R, so that’s pleasant. I wouldn’t say I’m comfortable with 30% of anyone being ok with fascism but it’s not a surprising proportion.
In person day of voting was 55% R which is interesting.
I kept waking up throughout the night for no apparent reason. Just enough to be irritated with myself, really.
Around 5,000 people must have voted for Biden for pres but against our incumbent D Representative in person (these smaller numbers are easier to think about). I’m not sure how to feel about that.
The race for the second seat (it was a “vote for 2” ballot) on my city council is very close! 14 vote difference as of COB yesterday. I don’t even know how that works, what is needed to be decisive. Anyway, my neighbor who I do not want to win (because he’s the former police chief, not because of anything personal) is in the lead.
