Provisional Ballots

-OR- Why we ain't got none.

With election day registration, MN has decided it has no need for provisional ballots.

To see what types of identification meet MN state law to register to vote, please see:

Eek!

Home town tv news shoots down the Bushies lies. Whoda thunk it?

On my way to the elections meeting last night

I realized, with some sadness, that I'd hafta remove the No W (circle, slash, & W) sign from my car's bumper on Monday. It would just not do to be seen cruising from polling place to polling place while maligning a letter of the alphabet like that.

Some October

Today when I went out to get the Times, it was like getting hit the face with a humid pie -- a very warm humid pie. It's been 74 degrees fondly Fahrenheit here much of the afternoon although it's now down to 69 and the sky is doing dark and sickly things out there.

I ran around and took some pictures of the crocuses that are unpicked and still blooming. Some of them are rather toxic, and I contemplated an animated cartoon of the pickers inhaling the scent of the flowers and dropping dead on my sidewalk where I saw the crushed, picked flower yesterday.

I'll be heading off from work soon, run by home, and then head off to help Laura and David move. Hope to make Joel's party later tonight. Tomorrow night is the Crystal Ball at Le Meridien. They better be all moved well before 6:00!

Must help move...

Some slightly pithy comments on Anne McCaffrey and what it takes to turn a man queer.

No toaster ovens are given away in this piece, but there is frequent mention of tent pegs.
