That’s terrifying, Brenda!

We went out and voted in person this morning. I had notes on how to vote on the ballot measures, thank goodness, some of them were a page long.

Just got back from voting. I already know literally everyone I voted for will lose.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

There are firemen and hoses traipsing through my yard. And now they’ve cut the power. But it seems like things are quieting. I’m actually off today so whatev.

The trucks and traffic control are blocking the streets around our polling station so I do hope that clears up soon and that there weren’t too many before work voters who couldn’t get through. It’s a pretty walky neighborhood though - Chicago polling stations are scattered everywhere and serve people within a few blocks. We just walked over ourselves and they were a bit backed up. So that’s good.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wow, Brenda, I'm so glad you're safe and your house was unscathed! Watching that news clip, I can see how easily fire can spread since the houses are so close together -- that's scary.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh no fire! So glad all people got out.

Road work a block from my house started this morning and the dogs are in full protest of the time change and started barking at 6am, 40 min before the alarm.

I have today off and am at the eye dr. Going to a chain place this year, I did not like dr I went to last year and figured cheaper and easier might be fine.

My sister just came in and grabbed a bottle of whiskey for the guy in the middle house. Hope it helps.

Thrive to spite them

Brenda that is really scary.

I voted. There weren't any I Voted stickers. They weren't given any. We all went over together. M's mom asked me who I was going to vote for...I was like "not Republicans" and she was startled. Not sure why. "Not even McMasters??" Especially not McMasters. Then she asked why and I have he]p8r a few bullet point reasons why.

There were lots of signs about what to do and not to do. And one informing everyone that per SC law you can only be at a polling station for a max of 3 mins. I didn't know there were legal time limits.

I also got my car washed. Gave M his birthday card which ended up being more Valentine's looking but that's ok.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh no, brenda! Your poor neighbors. And yikes for you. Damn.
