I am planning tomorrow being a stay home day, although I’m really low on groceries 🛒 and I might drop off my absentee ballot 🗳 tomorrow although I’ll probably wait until early Sunday morning. 🌅 Just get up early and walk 🚶🏻 down to the Early Vote ❎ site. I wish they did the postage paid envelopes, I heard and posted earlier about on the blog how the legislature is looking at it.

While really none of the elections locally are competive, I did pull the lever for Jo Jergenson the libertarian 🗽 for president. I don’t really have a strong 💪🏻 opinion about her but I didn’t really like either the Trumpster or Biden This Time. If the election was competive locally I’d consider Biden but I also think there are certainly benefits to having Trump in the White House with Congress being democratic. 🤔 Checks and balances. ⚖
