If you’ve been putting off casting your ballot, it’s time to get moving on that. Today in America is “Election Day”, although with the way things have been working this year, it’s really more of the Election “Deadline.” We’ve been talking for years in this country about how to make voting easier and more accessible […]

Tomorrow is it, my friends. If you haven’t voted by now, tomorrow is your last shot; it’s election day. Go to your polling place (if you need to find it, look here to find it), and do your part for the democratic process; it’s your responsibility as a citizen of this country; don’t shirk it! […]

I did *not* forget! I was just in a car a lot of the day and couldn’t exactly type. Please consider this your daily reminder to vote. If you have an absentee/mail-in ballot, at this point, your best bet is to hand-deliver it to your local registrar to make sure it gets there in time. […]

It’s four days until election day. All the eligible voters in my household have now voted (and the other one wishes she could). You should as well; seriously. Yesterday there was a line down the block at the registrar, only took the kid fifteen minutes to get through. Most places are pretty quick. And, as […]

It’s damp, it’s sort of cold, and it’s less than a week to election day. If you haven’t done so, or sorted out how you’re going to do so, get on that now, please. It’s not too late, but it’s imperative. But, the week’s basically over. It’s been low-level stressful all the way around, though […]

We’re going to do this every day, folks. If you haven’t, find out how. Commit to making your voice heard. Do your part, if not for you or for me, then for the 231,000 people (as of today) who won’t get a chance to.

I know the right people don’t find this obscure at all. …and just because it is when it is, VOTE.

So, election day’s a week out. Ideally, by the end of next week, we’ll have a better picture of what the next four years will look like; whether to sigh in relief, or continue stockpiling non-perishables in despair. The full-time voting residents of this house have already voted. Early voting at the county registrar is […]

As predicted, the weekend was pretty low-impact. Friday night involved some livestreamed-over-the-internet theater (the kid kicked ass in a very intense role), Saturday was a brisk five mile hike, doing the shopping, and spendng a few hours engaged with the virtual version of the Ohio Valley Filk Fest, or as it was called this year, […]

Another Friday reached. Another week behind me. All told, this one’s been a little less stressful than the last few. Sure, there’ve been headaches and roadblocks (one of the backbone financial systems supporting multiple agencies has been choking all week, preventing me from getting important requirements funded, and more importantly, keeping many people from submitting […]
