Well, you've read the notes, the notes went about their business, and now it is time for you to post until the business cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VEGETE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all! I forget to take the muscle relaxer and my left shuld kept me up far too much last night. So, I slept very poorly and arose at 5:00am to vote at 6. I got to the polls around 5:45 and was home by 6:15. It was a whole new voting machine process, but I think I did it correctly. O'm debating going backto bed until 8 or stayng up. I have to be at City Center by 10:30 to help Joshie with a problem.
So, BK, I didn't see voting on your agenda for today.
I did get a text from Jonathan and I hope to meet him later today. I'm currently thinking I will come home from City Center and nap for acouple of hours, meet Jonathan, maybe, fordinner - I owe him one, and cme home for the election news.
I also got an email from the Man from Philadelphia about postponing Friday's meeting. This is fine with me, but it's hell scheduling all of the divas with whom I work!
-
I hate the new voting process. I assume they spent millions of dollars on the procedures but it still sucks. I can't believe with the technology available now we have to mark a paper ballot with a f*****g pen and put it in a scanner. There are better, easier and more secure ways to do this.
-
Luckily I voted a couple of weeks ago and mailed by ballot in. Although the presdiential races may take awhile to sort out, at least all of the local elections will finally be through.
-
;D
-
Morning.
It's hot again in sunny Southern California.
What happened to fall ?
-
Good morning, all.
Voting vibes for all. May you get out to vote and not face too long a line.

TOD: The insurance company I work at has electronic banners flashing about the dangers of texting and walking. Apparently it causes accidents 63% of the time because people get so involved in texting that they wander way off course. Imagine how much worse that is when you're behind the wheel of a car. I'm glad at least my city has outlawed texting while driving. Other cities in Texas haven't, which makes me not want to drive in them.
-
I dropped my mail in ballot last night at the 24 hour drop box.
I'm done. Now it's just a wait, who knows how long this one will take to decide.
:)
-
Must get ready for work.
Think I might stay home tonight, or maybe go to a friends house to watch the results.
Although I have been warned, much yelling will be directed at the TV.
-
;D
-
Good morning, all.
Posting from New Milford Volkswagen which is, literally, across the road from the cows. Look it up if you don't believe me. I am happy to report that the cows are home.

DR John G,the other day you mentioned some good news. Did you tell us and I missed it?
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Today is the grantwriters' lunch meeting in Dayton and I'm going to vote before heading north. After the meeting I'm meeting my friend Sue for coffee, so I'll be E & T most of the day.
-
My day has changed. Joshie just canceled our date to look at the scores for the Encores! gala. So, I'm here. I wish I hadn't had all that coffee. I'd go back to bed.
-
Off to vote, etc. - bye for now!

Nothing firm just yet.
-
DR Vixmom, glad you got gas times two. That must be a relief. I don't know why they wouldn't have a way to tell people that it was cash only. I would be unhappy to wait an hour and then get turned away. They could put signs or something or have a bullhorn.
-
Well, voting was easy-peasy in our corner of Ohio. Got in line at 9:20 and home by 9:40 for a bit more coffee.
-
Welcome to the electorate, DR The Vixter!

TOD:
When I lived in Calabasas, I was was coming out of my parking lot, and a guy coming into the lot was talking on his cell phone, looking in the opposite direction. Despite my honking, he hit my car. Luckily, there was no damage.
"So, what's the problem?" was the schmuck's response.
::)
-
Voting done.
-
I missed last night's tator tot discussion! Tator tots AND Velveeta.....two topics I am familiar with.....but I don't think I could added MUCH to the discussion than was already there.
-
Good day!
-
Vibes one and all!
Voted last week...
-
I DID HAVE A NEW COSTUME for last night. It is gray pants with a matching SHORT jacket with a peplum....a shirt with Louis IV sleeves, my white tights (that sounds like a song from THE MUSIC MAN), and a nice Pilgrim collar that ties in the front. Of course as first I didn't see it, and put on my blue costume....then I looked again and there was the other one.
It is very nice, perhaps I shall get a photo tonight.... Of course the pants were even BIGGER than the blue ones. They must be about size 50. I had to hold them up or they would be on the floor. I pinned them to my t-shirt, but that didn't feel too secure. So I found a belt and cinched them....they seems to work....so there you are!!!
-
TOD:
Every day I see people texting and driving....or talking on the phone while driving.....and they almost always have personalized plates....one of two:
Kids First or Save the Environment

Welcome to the electorate, DR The Vixter!
Yes, welcome to the wonderful world of voting. May your political life be less stressful than this year has been.

If only that were true here in Oakland. We have "ranked choice" voting...and it takes them forever and a day to sort through everything and assess points based on the choices you make for 1st, 2nd and (if applicable) 3rd place.
-
I voted two weeks ago via mail-in ballot. I actually walked it over to the Registrar of Voters office to save postage. We had a cut-off date for mailing ballots in and it was sometime last week, IIRC.
-
TOD... People and their electronic devices....
I just had to expand after the things I have seen over the years in the NDSU library. I was always amused at individuals who would be talking on their phones and they would invariably walk into, unlocked doors and and the security gate. One person asked why the door was there after walked into it talking on their phone. I was pleasantly surprised that no one ever fall down the stairs. One woman did walk into the men's bathroom while talking on her phone. Two males in the bathroom were not amused. It grew even more interesting when texting became more popular. The number of individuals walking into the exterior doors increased.
In my opinion, if people are texting and walking to doors and walls, they really should not be driving and texting. We averaged three to five people per shift I worked in walking into walls and the exterior doors. I would not be surprised if there were near misses on the streets around campus.
-
I am also amazed at how some can walk and type on their laptops at the same time...

DR John G,the other day you mentioned some good news. Did you tell us and I missed it?
FArgo now has a heavy fine for texting and driving. It is enforced. Last week they had a sting to catch drivers for texting and driving. They stopped over 100 people. I look at drivers who text and drive to be as dangerous as drunk drivers if not more.
-
Back from the cows.
TOD --
Submitted for your approval...the genius driver BK and I saw on the way to The Smoke House.
As we approached the light at a busy intersection, it turned from red to green. I don't recall whether we'd had to come to a full stop. The traffic coming in the opposite direction was, however, at a full stop, several cars deep, and their light was turning green, too. One problem: the driver of the lead car at that light was standing outside his vehicle polishing his windshield. When he saw the light was green he ran around to get back in his car, because he was now holding up his line of traffic. He was still getting seated as we crossed through the intersection and passed slowly alongside him, whereupon BK opened his window and shouted, directly into the guy's face and for the cars behind him to enjoy, "You're an IDIOT!"
My fellow DRs, it was a moment of beauty on the streets of the San Fernando Valley. I felt honored to have observed it, briefly entertaining the notion that the guy was sent out from Central Casting to perform for my personal benefit.
-
This is becoming Dublin Month!
I'm having dinner with Jonathan tonight at Joe Allen, Fionnuala Hunt our concert mistress on EILEEN and DEAREST ENEMY, arrives tomorrow for a master class at NYU and concert with the wonderful Lynda Lee, our Lady Maude in EILEEN, that evening at the Metropolitan Club. I believe that Niall, one of our trumpet players, is in next week.
-
TOD, continued--
And was that the end of the evening's delights? Not at all.
After dinner we were turning back onto our route when BK had to take evasive action when a car driven by an elderly gentlemen cut us off as it wandered from one lane to the other and back again. The driver was clearly engaged in either dialing or texting, and wasn't even looking up as his vehicle proceeded apace. Never mind that it was dark and that the streets of Burbank were hardly deserted. We easily out-ran the threat, but not without a hair-raising moment or two.
These were actually two of the finest incidents I've observed over the past few months.
-
Good morning. I, too, will vote on my way to rehearsal this eve. I'll set aside an hour for this unless I head over earlier. I'm still registered to vote in San Mateo. Need to pull together a wedding plan for Saturday and then work on my musical a little today. The lyricist emailed asking how things were coming along. I told him fine, and now I have to show that it's fine! I hope to write a ballad as catchy as "Memory" and make millions of bucks. I reality, I'm sure nothing will change upon composition if said ballad.
I'm thinking for breakfast I'll heat up some of the tater tot casserole and maybe add an egg...
-
I just voted. I waited in line for 90 minutes!
It's now done and I'm doing a bad thing, eating lunch at my desk. We're not supposed to but IDC!!!
-
We will say we knew you when....DR MATTHEW.
-
DR BEN is the Eva Tanguay of HHW!
-
DR Druxy, I'm sorry to read about your loss of Missy.
-
I was at my polling place this morning at 6:00 and was third in line. In and out and still had plenty of time to make my early train. But then, I had already made up my mind on who to vote for.
-
TOD:
Just last week, I was about to cross the railroad tracks on my walk to the office when the crossing signal began to ring. I stopped and waited on the sidewalk, but this a-hole in a SUV came speeding down the road and across the tracks (he actually had to weave in order to avoid hitting the descending crossgate.)
-
I had considered doing the vote-by-mail method this year, but I still get a bit of a thrill of going into the voting booth and pushing the buttons.
-
I'm up, I'm up - the telephonic device rang slightly before seven and I'm sure the caller from another time zone (not a person, a company) hadn't taken into account the time difference, but I will be calling that company later today to make sure it never happens again.
-
DR BEN is the Eva Tanguay of HHW!
I think I'd rather have Tanqueray.

Darling elmore, in case you haven't noticed in matters political I speak not.

Speaking not and voting not are two different issues.
-
Oregon has had vote-by-mail now for several years and I mailed in my ballot a week ago.
It is most convenient, especially since I like to have my voter pamphlet with me when I vote so that I can refresh in my mind what some of the ballot measures are all about and who some of the candidates are.
-
TOD:
I have no stories yet and, knock on wood, I hope it stays that way.
-
Have you ever noticed that when you are at a red light and in a hurry it takes forever for the light to turn green?
But when you are at a red light and you decide to blow your nose or search for something in your glove compartment, the red light is suddenly the shortest red light ever?
-

90 minutes seems like a long time. Why would it take that long? I would think if they want more people to vote then they would make it faster. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to vote. And don't think i would like it.
-
That story about BK yelling out of the car was pretty funny.

Yes.

You see, darling elmore - I go about my business. Some of my business I choose to talk about (most things) and some is, well, my business. You will also note that I have never in all the years of HHW talked about my romantic life. But you see, this response of yours is why I wrote today's notes - the attitude behind these kinds of comments is what I've been reading on Facebook and elsewhere for over six months now. You know not what I am doing this day in terms of what you speak of and what I may or may not have done on previous days. T'ain't nobody's business but my own.
-
I think I'll jog post lunch. That always feels like I'm actually working off calories, rather than the other way around.
-
Well, I guess i've been put in my place!
-
After all of those posts yesterday, I decided to run over to the grocery store today to pick up some Tater Tots. Wouldn't you know it? Tater Tots are being rationed and they are using the odd and even system. Today was an "even" day, and for some reason, they decided I was odd.
-

Ben! Did you just think the F-word?
-
Oh no.
I'm not looking forward to the line extending outside the store and around the block from the frozen foods section in Stop 'n Shop tonight.

What happened to Election Day being the time that all the candidates went home and shut up? Obama gave a speech, Romney is campaigning in two states, and one of our governor candidates has a full schedule of events today!! Go away, all of you!
-
And unfortunately tomorrow the 2016 campaign will begin. I can't stand it!!!
-
And unfortunately tomorrow the 2016 campaign will begin. I can't stand it!!!
I suspect the counting will go on for several days. I think Ohio and Florida will be problematic. Lordy!
-
I voted today. I live in a state that none of them care about, so my vote is probably meaningless.
-
I have low self-esteem, you know.
-

From DR Dakota:
So now when I travel I take some ND postcards with me to share and then I purchase some from the places i visit.
You also like them from states you haven't visited? I'll look for the Oregon lighthouse card I sent my friend. Send me your address & I will send you my friend's
-
Speaking of these cards, I find it mind boggling that Craig hasn't been able to find a Maryland postcard in Maryland.
-
From DR TCB
I have. It never did a thing for Angel, but I felt better!
;D
I only have mild tranquilizer for traveling to cats that panted (you need to be a cat person to know what I'm talking about) heavily or tended to hyperventilate. Loud protesters could protest all they wanted.
-
From DR Chas:
Peanut butter filled donut!
BTW, is Stan's still there? I did see a small sign on one side of the building.
You must have missed my talking about Stan's. When he isn't too busy we stop and talk to him, he was even there on Christmas morning. He loves his work.
Stan's apple fritters are still my favorite. Keith is torn between them and his new favorite, the peanut butter filled ones.

From DR Cilla:
You can get it low fat. It doesn't taste that great alone but still tastes good in a recipe
You are right, it doesn't taste that great alone. I haven't cooked with it.

Here is a photo I found on the inner web and printed out for David. Britt and I were talking about the show in the green room last night.... She mentioned that she had danced in a program with Ray Bolger when she was with the San Francisco Ballet, and that he was a delightful man.
He was THE STAR of Come Summer - and Britt mentioned that if David was getting too much attention in a scene or was singing or dancing a LOT - Mrs. Bolger who was at every rehearsal would demand that Ray be in the scene and be given AS MUCH to do. Britt says that because he was ALWAYS on, his dances - which were pretty much all the same - were repetitive and instead of it being special when he came out to do something, the audience was tired of him by intermission.....
She places the blame on Mrs. Bolger not Ray himself....or even on director of record Agnes de Mille...
The show was in February, 1969 - so I don't know if MR BK saw it or not....since he was in NYC around that time......
David certainly takes over this photo:

Mrs Bolger was a major producer of WHERE'S CHARLEY? It had a few nasty preproduction goings-on behind the scenes.

From DR Vixmom:
-then on my way to the office I saw a gas station with GASOLINE!!!!! The line was "only" 5 blocks long so I got on it and after "only" 40 minutes I was able to fill the tank!
I'm so excited for you!!! Were you then late for work? Did you care ;)
-
From Vixmom:
One reason the line moved so "quickly" was that they were only accepting cash payment and people were arriving at the pumps after waiting only to turned away
Those poor people. I'm surprised there wasn't a riot that no one told them it was cash only. Good thing you had cash.
-
From DR Vixmom:
We waited on line and in 18 minutes I had a full tank of gas.
I cannot tell you what a relief it is
I was watching to see if your day ended with two full tanks. I am very relieved for you :)
Did you take any extra cans to fill for the generator?
-
DR Vixter congratulations on voting for the first time!!!!
-
Good morning, all.

I went to the grocery store at noon today and the tater tots that were on sale were all gone!!! I did find some that weren't on sale and picked up the other ingredients so I can eat tater tot casserole as the returns come in

Callie just tells me for 2 hours that she isn't at all pleased to be in a small box in a moving vehicle and she thinks I need to turn around and take her to her nice warm bed as soon as possible.

I mark my voter's pamphlet & go through it as I vote. Since Keith filled his out first I looked to see where we deferred & to discuss why. I think we voted differently on one local candidate & one of the state measures. We tend to vote pretty much the same.
We never argue over our differences :)
-
I have to remind many people of this. I had to listen to two complete idiots in the booth next to me pontificate about how they voted - it was kind of nauseating and amusing at the same time. The big difference this year is Facebook, though - this did not happen like this four years ago - it was bad but not THIS bad. And of course four years before that Facebook wasn't an issue at all.
-
Have you ever noticed that when you are at a red light and in a hurry it takes forever for the light to turn green?
But when you are at a red light and you decide to blow your nose or search for something in your glove compartment, the red light is suddenly the shortest red light ever?

I dropped my ballot at the Tumwater City Hall drop box...just half a block from where I live. In Washington state, everything is mail-in ballots. There are no actual voting places here anymore. The problem in Washington is that the ballots just have to be postmarked by today. They can be received over the next several days, so our results may not be "official" until later in the week.

That is a mouthful to describe "poser" cheese.

DR Ben, I totally agree with your logic
-
Off to rehearsal....
-
That is Bolger, David, and Catherine Damon in the photo.
Catherine Damon of SOAP fame?
-
The first time I watched VERTIGO I saw it with Keith so obviously that was later than 1958. I liked it very much and am surprised it originally flopped.
-
TOD:
I have no stories yet and, knock on wood, I hope it stays that way.
Ditto and ditto!
-
Bruce why didn't you knock on the rude woman's window & point to the line of cars she was blocking?
-

Catherine Damon of SOAP fame?
Yup. She did a few musicals, including Flora, the Red Menace. But Soap is how I always think of her.
-
Speaking of these cards, I find it mind boggling that Craig hasn't been able to find a Maryland postcard in Maryland.
At the local Fred Meyer, they have a small section of Washington souveniers...keychains, mugs, etc. I don't know about postcards. Do you want me to look?? I hadn't thought about that until just now.
-
Bruce I appreciate your comments regarding the elections & facebook. “If you disagree with who I’m voting for and my opinions, please unfriend me now.” totally shocked me.
-
The first time I watched VERTIGO I saw it with Keith so obviously that was later than 1958. I liked it very much and am surprised it originally flopped.
I forgot until watching the extras last night that "The Manchurian Candidate" was attacked on release and that it was yanked after the Kennedy assassination for decades.
Then I remembered the re-release in the late 1980s and all the hoopla surrounding it. What a great movie it was. And very adult for 1962, when the Hayes Code was still in effect, albeit on its last legs.

Speaking of these cards, I find it mind boggling that Craig hasn't been able to find a Maryland postcard in Maryland.
At the local Fred Meyer, they have a small section of Washington souveniers...keychains, mugs, etc. I don't know about postcards. Do you want me to look?? I hadn't thought about that until just now.
I need to keep straight who offer to send, and who I sent the address to. I had you down for Washington. Now I remember, she has family in Washington so I didn't need to ask. I will double check if they came through.

No problem. I go to Fred Meyer often. :)

DR ELMORE - that is unfortunate about Mrs Bolger.....I wonder if she wielded her power during ALL AMERICAN as well....
It would not surprise me. I get the impression that the Cryers are being kind. I had heard stories that others in the cast didn't like Bolger's insistence on being front and center. I suspect he needed Mrs Bolger as his best eyes and ears for remaining "the star," and I'd bet it went on during ALL AMERICAN as well. I have also heard that Bolger was really great with his fans.

Off to the post office to express Vixmom her ticket to Edwin Drood!

We all have opinions about everything. Some choose to share and others choose to not. My biggest issue with politics is when they drag religion into campaigns or laws. Somewhere in the constitution is says something about the separation of church and state, but some politicians seem to forget that and force their religious beliefs into their campaigns and therefore, getting the "church" vote. I feel many people forget to see the facts, the history, and the actual work (or not) of the previous presidents of this country and tend to go with what they are hearing now, even though previous presidents have proven that those ways or whatever don't work. Stupid mistakes that have cost our country war, deficits and the like are there in black and white. If you like these things, good for you, although I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would, and I'm sad to think that there are people that want the politicians in their bedroom, or do they? This is suppose to be the land of the free, but some politicians are doing their best to make it the land of "How they think it should be".
I don't get mad at people's opinions or their choices, what I get irritated about is how stupid people can be that they want these things to happen in our country again - continuation of war, deficits, Christian "values" in a country that has freedom of religion, etc. You really can't take what you want here, you get it all or nothing. Be sensible.
Thank you for listening.

From DR Chas:
Peanut butter filled donut!
BTW, is Stan's still there? I did see a small sign on one side of the building.
You must have missed my talking about Stan's. When he isn't too busy we stop and talk to him, he was even there on Christmas morning. He loves his work.
Stan's apple fritters are still my favorite. Keith is torn between them and his new favorite, the peanut butter filled ones.
http://www.stansdoughnuts.com/
Thank you for that info and the link!
Stan's is one of the great institutions, to be sure. I will never forget how, back in the days when Westwood was still Westwood in all its glory, at the end of the night when you could drop by the window at Stan's and take home a large bag holding a week's worth of donuts for a dollar. Well, week's worth for a normal person. Weekend, maybe, for the likes of moi.
-
Apple fritters. Yes!
Peanut butter filled. Yes!
And of course glazed, my number one always.
Did Stan's also have hot dogs during the day? Or am I remembering another business who shared that corner building? Could be wrong, but I'd swear I remember sitting at a little counter in there in the afternoon, eating a hot dog and having a donut.
-
I mostly purchased them one at a time while on my break at the Bruin Theater. While Stan still had the best Orange Julius stand in town I would spend what little money I had on a Julius before getting a doughnut.
-
Ok, things to do for next year. 1. Get to a Kritzerland Show 2. Get to Stan's donuts
-
And I am off to meet Jonathan for dinner at Joe Allen. I hopethis horrendous nor'easter they're predicting is not as dreadful as they're warning us. I worry about my Dublin driends flying in, and I'd like to see Rosemary Ashe at some point this week before she retrns to London,
-
Wait, that's it then! An Orange Julius stand. Thank you!!
Reading the web site now. The signage in that picture on the "History" page brings the magic right back. There's a good chance I have a color print or slide taken back then.
-
Apple fritters. Yes!
Peanut butter filled. Yes!

The large window on the corner used to be the Orange Julius stand. I often got a hot dog with my Julius for lunch or dinner. If you look through the window now you can see the back of the doughnut counter.

Yes, a hot dog and Orange Julius, and the donuts. Wonderful.

I have never heard of a peanut butter filled donut! WHERE IN WESTERN WASHINGTON CAN I GET ONE?? ;D
-
If you reminisce with Stan he might give you a sticker with a photo of Stan's from 1964 when it was established.
-
Which year(s) did you work at the Bruin?
-
I took photos of our sticker & couldn't get a clear photo. Silly me, I found it on his link. The middle awning was where we purchased our Julius's & hot dogs. You can see the hot dog sign.

Bruce why didn't you knock on the rude woman's window & point to the line of cars she was blocking?
Because I would have been much too bad of a boy.
-
The first memory I have of ever having a hot dog was at the Orange Julius stand on the southwest corner of Pico and Robertson, sometime back around the time MAD magazine first hit the stands. There was a newsstand next door where I got my MAD issues (in comic book form) and the a Julius and hot dog with mustard and onions. I was probably six at the time.
-
Watching a movie I've never seen before because I'll obviously be able to write more informed liner notes after I've actually seen it :) It's pretty good. That's the good thing about amazon prime - you can watch any movie you want for free on their site.

Lordy. I have to stop reading HHW while HUNGRY.

Love the Vienna sign!
(Vienna is also THE Chicago hot dog brand.)
-
Which year(s) did you work at the Bruin?
Hmmm, Keith started first & we were dating which means I began in '66. I worked there until after my car accident in '68(?) when I went on disability. I had every intention of continuing to work until the day I plopped on the floor behind the candy counter & didn't get up until intermission.;D When I mentioned that to my father he ran some blood work & I apparently was EXTREMELY anemic on top of my back & neck pain.
Gosh, it seemed like a worked there much longer. Time really did move slower back then ;)

Was it outside or inside of a drug store? I have a memory of my mother taking me to a counter for my first Orange Julius. I thought it was in that area, I'm vague on the location, pretty sure it was a drug store, positive it was a Julius.

They had a window to the street, but yes, inside a drugstore. I think it went away in the late 1950s.

DR George my friend said she is ok on Washington cards. Thanks anyway.

Thank you. After that, until San's I don't recall having a good Julius. After Stan's I never did. Stan's were so good because he doubled the ingredients or added something extra. You have to ask him. My sister and I used to make our own with ice cream, even better.
-
Bruce, your mother never made hot dogs at home?
-
That is Bolger, David, and Catherine Damon in the photo.
Catherine Damon of SOAP fame?
Yup. She did a few musicals, including Flora, the Red Menace. But Soap is how I always think of her.
I loved Soap... Any one if it is on DVD

Nice, we have jumped to page 6!

You can also get the individual seasons and might be able to find the whole series of good enough copies for less than the price of the set.

I'm sure she made Oscar Mayer, but my first memory of ever eating a hot dog is at that stand.
-
Did anyone here perchance tape the HBO movie The Girl? I'd like to see it but I don't get any of the pay channels as I never have time for them.
-

It probably was. I really can't remember my first one, I do remember they had good hot dogs there.
When I went to Stan's from the Bruin a co-worker took me down the street to a new hot dog place that opened up. I only got to go once or twice, but until I had a Cupid's, it was the best hot dog stand I went to.

I've never heard of this either. How thick is the peanut butter? Is it more the flavor?

You see, darling elmore - I go about my business. Some of my business I choose to talk about (most things) and some is, well, my business. You will also note that I have never in all the years of HHW talked about my romantic life. But you see, this response of yours is why I wrote today's notes - the attitude behind these kinds of comments is what I've been reading on Facebook and elsewhere for over six months now. You know not what I am doing this day in terms of what you speak of and what I may or may not have done on previous days. T'ain't nobody's business but my own.
I think there is a big difference between talking about who you voted for vs telling someone if you voted.

Making another batch of caramel corn and watching election returns. The senior center where I'm volunteering as a grant researcher & writer has a levy up and the library from which I retired has a bond issue.

I am ill

woke up this morning and Vixter and I went to vote
Last year they took away our voting booths and now we fill in a scan tran -- I don't like it as well
-

-
stayed at the office unti about 12:30 and then call Vixdad and Vixter to come and get me
-
Feel better vibes to DR Vixmom!
-
they brought me home and I slept until after 7 PM Vixter took my temperature 101.6

Because not wanting to discuss your political views is different from not voting.

Why? Both involve politics. My voting has nothing to do with anyone but me. If you can show me otherwise, feel free. As with most people, what I do and don't do and what I choose to share in regards to that is between me, myself, and I. I don't ask people if they voted - what do I care? People do what people do, it's their business not mine.

Finished with all my viewing and will start on liner notes one shortly.

Cilla -- thank you!!!!!!!
GET BETTER!!!! You should get the ticket tomorrow or the next day

After all of those posts yesterday, I decided to run over to the grocery store today to pick up some Tater Tots. Wouldn't you know it? Tater Tots are being rationed and they are using the odd and even system. Today was an "even" day, and for some reason, they decided I was odd.
I went to the grocery store at noon today and the tater tots that were on sale were all gone!!! I did find some that weren't on sale and picked up the other ingredients so I can eat tater tot casserole as the returns come in
Obviously, Cilla, then you must be even.

I voted two weeks ago via mail-in ballot. I actually walked it over to the Registrar of Voters office to save postage. We had a cut-off date for mailing ballots in and it was sometime last week, IIRC.
I dropped my ballot at the Tumwater City Hall drop box...just half a block from where I live. In Washington state, everything is mail-in ballots. There are no actual voting places here anymore. The problem in Washington is that the ballots just have to be postmarked by today. They can be received over the next several days, so our results may not be "official" until later in the week.
One of our candidates for governor said this evening that he doesn't expect the new governor to be named before the end of the week.

Until later. :)

DR ELMORE - that is unfortunate about Mrs Bolger.....I wonder if she wielded her power during ALL AMERICAN as well....

Well, Bruce, Donald Trump has said that he has never seen your birth certificate; so there is no proof that you are an American. Saying that you voted today would force Trump to shut up!

No...if we were still together, I'm sure that we'd be married. He lives in Seattle and doesn't have a car, and his job takes him out of town for a week, every other week. I actually broke up with him because of the situation, not because we weren't getting along.

The good news I suppose is that smoking marijuana is still against Federal law. So, it is not clear whether anything will really change about the law passing in Washington.

The funniest moment of the entire evening was when one of the political pundits on ABC said with conviction that this may be the last time in history when two white males will battle for the Presidency.
