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.

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.

Ben! Did you just think the F-word?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** November 06, 2012, 12:01:28 PM »

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!!!

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.

Laura · « **Reply #71 on:** November 06, 2012, 12:31:28 PM »

I have low self-esteem, you know.

Ben · « **Reply #72 on:** November 06, 2012, 12:36:38 PM »

My vote, for President, doesn't count either. That was shown in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but Bush won the electoral college. As long as that scam (the Electoral College) is in place, presidential votes are meaningless in my opinion. It may have been a necessary evil at the founding of the country but now it's just an excuse to steal an election.

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

Jane · « **Reply #74 on:** November 06, 2012, 12:37:54 PM »

Speaking of these cards, I find it mind boggling that Craig hasn't been able to find a Maryland postcard in Maryland.

I have. It never did a thing for Angel, but I felt better!

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.

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.

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.

And tater tots

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:

That is Bolger, David, and Catherine Damon in the photo.

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

-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

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.

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?

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.

It sounds like a nice view while you wait for your car.
