Vote Blue. Bring Back Democracy

Well, we've got 51 (F) outside as I type.  Our high to day will be in the low 70s (F).  With not a cloud in the sky, this is perfect voting weather.  Tomorrow is going to be a repeat of today, which means it's going to be perfect weather to start finalizing the count, so make sure that your vote is part of that count!

I did work yesterday, and once again I was an aisle associate who spent more of my time being a specialist than anything else.  That's fine.  I was very busy for most of the day.  As I was leaving, I reminded many associates to go vote today.  The weather is going to be fine for standing in line.

The space bar on my laptop is getting sticky.  I might have to switch this one out with the sporty laptop upstairs.

Today is election day, in case I haven't mentioned it yet.  It's my understanding that if things go awry for the Republican party, there will be a very bloody civil war among their registered voters legislative leaders.  This might be a good reason to go out and vote Blue.

I understand that the Orange Anus spent most of the night shit posting on Truth Social.  He's a bitter old man who's lied to himself all of his life about his own popularity.  Now his ego is having to deal with a possible wave of Blue hatred.  This is a very good thing.   A large failure for him will mean his cronies will be hit with the same crushing reality.  Elonia has spent nearly a half billion dollars to save both his tax breaks and government contracts.  His reality might just end up getting washed away.  This also would be a very good thing.

Make sure you are part of this momentum.  That would be a really great thing!

Vote blue.  Bring back Democracy!

Haley Fails

Our outside temp is 43 (f) and, if the weather forecasters are correct, we'll be adding another 25 degrees onto that for an afternoon of 68 (F).  The original forecast for tomorrow, election day here in the states, was for showers and temps in the low 60s (F).  That's been updated.  Our afternoon highs are now supposed to be in the lower 70s (F) under full sunshine.  Now, isn't that nice for the voters.

Yesterday was a full shift at the great orange retailer I work for, and, as now happens on Sundays, I was a flooring specialist.  I was fairly busy until late afternoon.  Foot traffic slows down once the football games start.  I can honestly say that no other sport has that kind of effect on sales.  Because we're centrally located, we have Raven's fans, Giant's fans, Eagle's fans, and Steeler's fans in the area, all of whom stay home on Sunday afternoon and evening.  We do have the "getting out of church" rush between 11 am and 1 pm, but once the games start, even the religious stay home.

We did have costume day on Saturday so store employees could dress up.  I don't.  Cori, the woman who does my book covers does.  So, in case you've ever wondered what she looks like, here she is.

Of course, there was some political news yesterday.  Haley Stevens, a Democrat who'd run against Abdul Sayed for the Senate nomination in Michigan, endorsed the MAGA candidate Mike Rogers.  Mallory McMorrow, who'd also been a candidate in that primary said that this was a "blatant attempt at relevancy."  I think Haley's conversion is the result of sour grapes.  Originally, many thought that she was going to win the nomination... and she lost to Sayed.  I hope she wasn't so delusional as to think that tens of thousands of Democrats would suddenly vote Republican because of her.  For whatever reason, Haley's career in politics is now over.

And tomorrow is election day here in the States.  The administration is shrieking that all results should be known tomorrow night.  This is never the case anywhere, except in Russia where elections are rigged.  In many states winners will be projected, however certification may not happen until several days after the election.  What will be known is how badly the Republican party has shot themselves in the foot, the back, the chest, and the head by fully supporting the Orange Anus.
