Ork! Woke up this morning and Shakepeare the cat was hissing, yowling, and limping, so first thing after we wake up, we load up and get to the animal hospital. He’s fine, our little furball just sprained his ankle and knee, so they doped him up, charged us hundreds of dollars for exam and x-ray, and sent us both on our way. PS I think the vet’s digital x-ray equipment is better and faster than any x-rays I’ve ever been given.
We voted in Southern California. Our polling place had no line at 2 PM. Two of the volunteers were high school girls with big hair serving community service hours for a DUI. I know this because they were complaining loudly about it while I tried to make decisions about Veteren’s funds and Animal rights (for, and for.) The other two poll vounteers were very nice older ladies. I’m pretty sure they weren’t in for DUI community service, anyway, but you never know. There were no machines, no curtains, just little boxes on top of music stand-type things with old-fashioned paper ballots. I like those better, anyway. They remind me of the SATs.
I’m hoping for no more excitement. Oh, and our cable went out, just as I sat down to get an election update. Good times.
And oh yeah, go see this:
