I left the polling center and came to my corner bar where we all agreed no one would speak of anything. Time has gone on and I've seen what's going on. I bought a round of Macallan for the 4 of us in the house. I haven't told any of them. I don't know what else to do. There remains a small spark in my heart that when I get up in the morning things will be different. Somehow I doubt it.

Oh. Anyway...

Bernard Marcus, cofounder of The Home Depot and billionaire Republican megadonor, has died https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/05/business/home-depot-bernie-marcus-death/index.html

I bought a bottle of Redbreast for tomorrow evening. I manage one of 38 poll locations in the county. We'll close at 7 tonight and tomorrow. I'll be home about 830 after transporting our ballots to county elections department. I will put on jammies and slippers and crack it open to watch the results come in. I imagine I will fall asleep in the chair, hopefully with a smile.

Good Sunday morning to you all ❣️
Wakey wakey! 🌞

People he doesn't agree with, he wants to put them in jai. I'll give them a seat at the table. - Kamala

Had more cornbread than pan, so did a small skillet, put it on top of the other pan because of small toaster oven, it needed a bit of a toasting on the bottom on the stove, and 'spoiled' the top of the wedges, but it all tastes delicous. No Buttermilk, so vanilla yogurt and milk for the mix. Martha White comes through again!

Making a batch of black beans with andoulli, onions, red and orange peppers, NM red chili 🌶️ powder.

Guess I better get to thinking about cornbread.

Today, Jane Fonda came to boost one of our local candidates for County Commissioner - which has been six Republicans for the last 60 years. Fonda's PAC picks progressive / environmental candidates down ballot to back.

The last two contestants for CC3 each increased our vote percentage but never enough to win. Perhaps this is the year. #politics

Good morning 🌞 my beautiful friends. ☕

“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an afterthought.

• Eat the delicious food.
• Walk in the sunshine.
• Jump in the ocean.

Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird.

There’s no time for anything else.”
– Keanu

The only way it could be worse is if we had to use a phone keypad and punch each button several times for the desired letter.

I crawled out of bed, made a press of coffee, went out to the truck and brought in the groceries that I gotten for breakfast yesterday, had a slice of apple pie and coffee, stumbled back to bed with a 2nd cup...and woke up an hour ago. The worst has passed. 🫠

Morning 🌞 all. Lordy I had flu shot and covid shot and a couple of other shots yesterday midday. It's been a rough night, body aches mostly. 😵‍💫 somebody bring me a cup of coffee? ☕

Well good morning and thanks for having coffee with me. Off for a quick shower and then headed out for poll worker training this morning. I've been doing this for several years and while it's sometimes slow in the early days it's good to see everyone come into the polls. I anticipate this election will be *interesting*.

Today, there are more factories getting built, more auto and construction jobs, and more American energy being produced than any day when Donald Trump was president. - Tim Walz
