Mail in Voting Update

 Well, it's Monday, and while I do have to work this afternoon, it will only be for 6 hours.  After that, I'll be off until Saturday, where I once again work for 6 hours.

On Thursday our appliances go on sale.  As a reminder, this will be the biggest and bestest appliance sale of the year, if you need to pick up a new washer, or dryer (like me), or a refrigerator for that matter.  Even chest freezers will be on sale.  Not flooring, though.  That's what I tell people when they stop by the flooring desk and ask what our Black Friday special is.  I politely tell them that they need to stop by appliances and buy that LG dishwasher they're been eyeing.

Something I've noticed lately when I take my slow runs, YouTube has buffering problems.  A small rectangular box pops up in the lower left hand corner that asks if I'm having issues.  This never happens on any of my other laptops, tablets, on my gaming PC. Yesterday, I clicked on it and got a display showing internet issues in Cumberland county.  I've high speed internet, so I really shouldn't be having a problem.  However, that little laptop runs on Windows 11, everything else is Google (or whatever it calls itself now), and YouTube, I believe, is owned by... Google.  Coincidence?

And I did bake a pumpkin pie yesterday.  I used a spring-form pan rather than a regular pie pan.  That was a mistake.  The sides do not hold.  Of course, that doesn't stop it from being tasty.  My, my, my, it sure is that!  Here's what pie prep looked like.

Election day is soon to be upon us.  From everything I've seen so far, early voting is heavy!  That's good for Democrats.  Mail in ballots are heavy to, and again, that bodes well for Democrats.  In Pennsylvania, over 777 thousand have been received. Republicans hate this shit.   We just might hit the million vote mark.  The issue in PA is that they will not start counting the ballots until 7 PM on November 8.  Our Republican controlled legislature could have changed that, but they chose not to, most likely because they didn't want disheartening news leaking out.  This means that on election day the people in this state will have to wait to get the complete results.  While I have no problem with that, you know that when blue votes start stacking up higher than red votes, the Republicans are going to shriek voter fraud.

 

Trump buddies up with a Hate Group

Today is Saturday and I get to go back to work after my one day off.  I accomplished much more yesterday than I thought I might, being that some times I end up putzing away the day.  The Med Techs at the Camp Hill VA Outpatient Clinic did my pre-op EKG... and I am pleased to say that I do have a heart... and it's beating!
Another thing I did yesterday was to bake a pumpkin pie from scratch... that's right.  Tasty!!

The only problem I had was Big Seig.  He snatched the egg shells out of the garbage and munched them to pieces in the living room, but then he's a dog and doesn't know any better.
Oh, and the Idiot Jerk in the White House became the first sitting president to speak at the Family Voters thingy (can't remember exactly what it's called).  You know?  The hate group run by that faux haired Tony Perkins?  And the dumb shit, Idiot Jerk pretty much declared war on anybody and everybody who does not agree with these narrow minded moron's interpretation of Judaeo-Christian values.  Of course just about everyone with a smidgen of intelligence knew he was going to do something like this since those crazies give him what he so desperately wants:  adulation.  Even the Idiot Bush was smart enough to know going down this road will lead to disaster.  The more these crazies lay their hands on him and bow down to him, the more he's going to give them what they want.  The Idiot Jerk doesn't care if a majority of the people find his behavior despicable, he's going to anoint this evil with a nod, and a smile as his tiny, little hand gives these haters a 'thumbs up.'  But then this has always been the case with this dumb shit, kiss his ass and he's over the rainbow.  More so now than in the past, since so much of what is happening in his most dysfunctional of administrations is hitting the air waves.  Just about everybody knows it's a cluster fuck, which is why he's turning to the crazies who kiss his ass.
