I had both my oldest (96) and youngest (19) voters come in one right after the other. One lady got mad at me for saying her party affiliation out loud (we’re required to do this). Another was angry that I wouldn’t look at her ID (no voter ID law here). All in all, folks were pleasant and I liked my coworkers.
Highly encourage folks to work an election, even just once, to see how the process really works.

autumn LinkDogs are capable of loving their people. That doesn’t mean all of them love their people. In fact, I’d argue that one of mine does not really give a hoot about me, haha.Dogs are capable of loving their people. That doesn’t mean all of them love their people.

One twitter user pointed out that the one who exposed this cult was Mor Pla, a celebrity volunteer who has helped uncover suspicious religious cases, rather than local authorities.

I'm going to have to get the recipe from her, because the chili was the perfect combo of sweet and spicy.

Bad because I really don't enjoy wet and cold as a combo. One or the other is usually fun, but... yeah. It was a time.

I do need to figure out support for the tomatoes, though. I planted them a little too close together to use the supports I currently have.
I also went out shopping at the local secondhand shop for a dress to wear to a wedding next weekend, and I walked out with four. Each one fits pretty much perfectly, and I'm stoked to have a few more on hand. I don't wear dresses often, but it's so hard to find ones I like. Shoutout to my friend who went with me and picked out three of them. They know my style. :)

He has such a distinct style, and I think Wes Anderson—who somebody else in this topic mentioned, hah—might be the only director who outdoes him in that regard (at least for me).

autumn Link ParentI think I'll be well enough to do it! Most of the group I was going with is dropping out due to weather (supposed to rain)... so we'll see whether or not I actually end up going.I think I'll be well enough to do it!

The former doesn’t use any artificial light at all and is about as historically accurate as it gets for colonial America.

I think it’ll be healed enough to do both, but boy howdy what a painful injury! And I don’t even think it was terribly severe. Definitely taking it easy on both rides as not to aggravate it further.

I bought a truck! 2007 F-150 Supercab with about 106k miles on it. I’ve already got a list of things I’d like to replace/upgrade, but I need to sell my old 4Runner and/or travel trailer before I can do that.
