Haven't been on here today since I was working early voting in my county. This is one way I help support our system of governance. It does make for a long tiring day. We did have good turn out though and that made me feel good. 3 more days of early voting then election day on Tuesday.

@dsmasterson If you do a search for # politics (no space) you will get posts by those of us talking politics. I keep a column pinned with a variety of political hashtags it sorts and displays for me. Courtesy to others to use the hashtag though in posts discussing politics because some people also filter it OUT of their feeds.

@kendonnelly Thanks. Beautiful on the outside and even better sounding (most days!). I have the provenance on this fiddle which is nice. Original owner was a young man named August William Dettner who died as a young adult not long after WWI. His initials are inscribed on the underside of the scroll A.W.D. So I refer to this fiddle as AWD.

GovChrisSununu signed a law barring state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal firearms statutes.
It would technically prevent public school teachers from reporting a shooting to federal law enforcement. newhampshirebulletin.com/brief

I can tell our weather is changing again as my oldster fiddle (is approximately 115 years old) was sounding cranky this morning when I did my daily practice. Normally has a super sweet sound, but when the barometric pressure or humidity begins rapidly changing it lets me know about it! Pic is the peg box and scroll of this oldster.

@CJsCorner Our ballots are in and confirmed as received and accepted. WA State. Nudged my adult daughter and son-in-law to make sure they finished with theirs too. Vote... and make sure your friends and family are voting too.

@DafSmith_v4 You have a great strategy. Get some much needed rest.

If you are having issues posting, please be patient. We're extremely popular lately for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

@Agent99 So timely for the world we are currently living in too. I don't know whether I am encouraged (they got through this before us) or discouraged even more (oh hell we never are going to learn are we?!).

@Agent99 I have been really enjoying it. I loved her previous one too (Bag Man).

If you haven’t yet heard Rachel Maddow’s you should listen.

It’s well done, interesting and timely.

I put my Bluetooth headphones on and get some boring jobs done for less than 40 min each episode.

@DrFunkyButt I had that happening too. I actually closed all my windows and did a restart on my computer and things resolved when I came back to Coso. Might be totally unrelated, but I was happy to see that problem go away.

well well - "CNN is one of the biggest news organizations in the world and they are refusing to pay Elon Musk for Twitter verification for their employees."

This appears as though someone is trying to pay Texans not to vote🧐 What do you think?
