And to stay confusing, here in Washington State yes on 71 is how you vote to keep domestic partner rights, no to repeal domestic partner rights. (For those not following, the law 71 is trying to repeal is far short of marriage equality but, but a repeal will result in even fewer civil rights.)
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

3% reporting, Yes on 1 in Maine is ahead. I seem to recall that the rural districts in Maine are usually able to report before the cities are, and I know that Portland won't be counted until late, because they ran out of the machine-countable ballots and there are a few thousand they're going to have to count by hand.

Shrift, may I tag?
Sure!
I have been to the gym. Now I am in bed. Eventually I will need to get up and reheat some of the chili I made last night. I don't think the magical microwave fairies will be able to levitate a bowl that far.

I cannot stop reloading the election results pages. Sometimes, instant information isn't such a good thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Turns out there were some severances at work today. But IT was untouched.
I think I'll ditch my 90210 for the next four weeks and watch V. Hopefully I won't get back into the habit. It's not even the good crack. But I'm pissed V will have a long hiatus.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. A chimp walking on four legs uses four times the energy as a human walking on two legs.
(I'm watching the NOVA thing on human evolution.)

People tend to think humans aren't very special, except for our intelligence. But we are special for other reasons too. Human bipedal locomotion is very efficient. Plus we sweat, so we can get rid of excess heat efficiently.
Did you know on a very hot day, a human could beat a horse in a marathon? (A horse would overheat dangerously if it ran that far on a very hot day.) (That's not in the NOVA thing, but something I read recently.)
