E-Day

Well, I've done my civic duty. I left the house at 5:40 AM for the short walk to the polling place. I was third in line. The wait was brief, but the tabulating machine was malfunctioning, so we all had to put our ballots in a storage bin (sealed, except for a slot to insert the ballots).

I'm afraid I'll be up late tonight.

Wise Words

“Optimism isn’t principally an analysis of present reality. It’s an ethic. It is not based on denial or rosy thinking. It is a moral posture toward the world we find ourselves in. If everything seems great, there’s no need for optimism. The river of good news just carries you along.” - Josh Marshall, Nov. 2016

[Dang, but my music randomizer is reading my mind today.]
