Voted. Now I'm stuck in line at the pharmacy behind a rambunctious dog and standing next to the shelf of laxatives.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

The last 2 mornings, it's taken me 5-7 minutes to go from Charles to University on 39th during early hours (pre7:30. And this distance...well, people walking lame elderly dogs cover it faster. I watched them.) Was never an issue before, guess the timing on the University light is fucked. Usually at those times, that's my whole commute, door to office.
Opened a can of worm at work, fun times. Thinking maybe of leveraging a contract change by applying for a tester job. They'd love me, my claim to fame is ops is breaking shit testers have missed. My current boss might love me more (and I prefer ops.) So much is up in the air, I dunno.

Proof I'm 12 years old: election results are scrolling along the bottom of the screen, and the winner of one township's school board is named "Dingus." Yeah, I laughed and laughed.
No word yet on whether we get legal pot.

And yes, the Moonrise Hotel would be wonderful. Have you ever been to the City Museum?
(waves hi back)
Nope, I've been to see the Blues play a couple of times back when the arena was the Kiel Center, and gone to the Tivoli before in the Delmar Loop, but I haven't had the chance to be touristy much in St. Louis. Is City Museum the one that has people crawling through tunnels and rope ladders and such?

Yes, it is. To make such things even more entertaining, they serve alcohol after 5pm.

No legal pot for Ohio. Boo.

St Louis sounds fun!
Electronic voting doesn't have enough of a paper trail for many districts. How do you recount? How do you prove there wasn't a bunch of fraud? Also, all those times people voted for one candidate and got a confirmation of voting for another. Heard all about it when my parents were volunteering at polling places all the time.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Dana, profile addy good? I'll send you the addresses of both potential meeting locations. Looking on a map doesn't give me a sense of which way could possibly be more fucked because of traffic. I'd be leaving for the airport right after the meeting at 3 PM.

If that is so, I will throw the damned going-away party myself! BFE corporation.
