    It's more who I voted against than who I voted for

    BTW---there was only one poll watcher at the drop box location, which is outside the office in a County Park. I did not engage him so I cannot say who he was "watching" for.

    In the past, there have been multiple "intimidators".

    That's similar to our mail-in vote tracking process here. It's odd some politicians are against it - particularly since there've not been problems with it.

    I voted today and it was a vote against a felon

    Your vote counts as much as anybody's. Live with the results.

    The bad news is good people like Mike have decided not to vote. I would urge them to reconsider.

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I respectively ask that if you are going to comment on any of my posts, that you at very least read them first---that often has not been the case and has resulted in more than one conflict. My use of emojis might convey a different message to you than is my intent. Words are a more dependable source of true intent.

    As for your question---nothing has changed. We are strapped with two slugs, one far more dangerous than the other.

    Now, now..

    After years of study .. I have formed the opinion that each of us here can read the same article/post and interpret is differently.. Also of the opinion that present company is a bunch of geezers and major change is not probable .. thirdly.. every now and again the “misinformed “ actually bring an interesting fact to the attention of the previously “well informed”

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong..

    FYI.. this afternoons group sing of Kum Ba Yah has been postponed until next Sunday..

    I'd complain, but he's right.

    This is the post I was referencing. I apologize. I just took it that you were very excited.

    Thank you but I was not excited about the Presidential candidates---I was and am excited about early voting and the excellent way that PA handles every aspect of the process. It is done very professionally and documented every step of the way (as shown).

    While we did have a few other offices to vote on there was limited excitement there as well. The next highest office is for the Senate---another contest of slugs. The main excitement will come the day after and we no longer will be subjected to this endless drone of he said she said.

    We have discussed presidential candidates..

    Here our GOP senate and house candidates haven’t shown up.. nothing in the mailbox.. nothing on TV.. don’t even know who the house candidate is..

    But locally.. gone to hell in a hand basket.. the GOP is a bunch of ultra right crazies led by their snake oil salesman (Younkin).. now the Dems have an ultra left ticket that is equally as crazy as the GOP.. but there are a few independents who actually make sense..

    Off to early vote Tuesday..

    The best negative ad was a year or two ago in North Carolina.. “she released a pedophile from jail” was the accusation.. research showed that she did release a person who was appealing his conviction as a pedophile, SCOTUS overturned the conviction so…. Guy wasn’t a pedophile and “she” was right to release him.. oh.. negative ads..

    I guess I feel forunate so far very little junk mail has shown up. A few for the school upkeep and county road maintain our roads.

    Now tv is a different thing. A few slip by if we can't fast forward in some cases. Is it over yet?

    BTW Dave are going going to miss out on Musk's lotto (bribe) thing?
